Improve control, safety and efficiency when working with timber using Rotatech tree felling and splitting wedges.

Designed for tree surgeons, forestry professionals, landscapers and chainsaw users, these durable wedges help keep the felling cut open, reduce the risk of the guide bar becoming trapped and support a more controlled direction of fall. They can also be used when splitting logs and handling stubborn sections of timber.

Available in a range of practical sizes, Rotatech wedges are built for dependable use in demanding outdoor working conditions.

Tree felling wedges are an important part of a safe and efficient cutting setup. Once inserted into the back cut, a wedge helps prevent the weight of the tree from closing the cut around the guide bar. This reduces the risk of the chainsaw becoming pinched and allows the operator to maintain greater control throughout the felling process.

The tapered shape creates lifting force as the wedge is driven further into the timber, helping encourage the tree to move in the intended direction. Textured or roughened surfaces improve grip inside the cut, helping the wedge remain securely positioned while in use.

Splitting wedges can also help separate logs, sections of timber and larger pieces of wood by gradually forcing the fibres apart. Their durable plastic construction makes them suitable for use around chainsaw equipment while helping to minimise the risk of damage to the chain if accidental contact occurs.

Rotatech tree felling and splitting wedges are suitable for professional arborists, forestry contractors, grounds maintenance teams and anyone carrying out regular chainsaw or timber work. Choose the wedge size that best suits the diameter of the timber and the task being completed.

Always follow safe felling practices, wear suitable personal protective equipment and assess the tree, surrounding area and intended direction of fall before beginning work.
