The Rattlewedge

Rattlewedge. The Rattlewedge is the 2006 Innovation Award Winner of GaLaBau. GaLaBau. With the Rattlewedge, the arborist controls large pieces of wood without any effort. Using the Rattlewedge is also quite simple. First, the arborist makes the usual felling notch, followed by the felling cut. He then keeps a strong hinge parallel to the felling cut. From there, the Rattlewedge is inserted into the hinge, screwed into the wood and then rattled with one hand until the tree/trunk falls. Truly, to see is to believe! The Rattlewedge, made out of lightweight aluminium, hardly weighs 1.4kg and can be taken into the tree easily. Undoubtedly, the Rattlewedge should be a standard device in any professional arborist’s toolbox.
