The following statement has been issued by British woodchipper manufacturer GreenMech, concerning their dispute with German manufacturer, Jensen Service GmbH:
GreenMech’s Patent Infringement action against Jensen in the German Patent Courts, to protect its ‘Safe-Trak’ European Patent has been successfully concluded. Jensen have stopped production of their ‘X’ track.
GreenMech’s unique ‘Safe-Trak’ wood chipper is the world’s most successful tracked wood chipper of its type. Designed to safely access, and operate on, difficult terrain the patented Safe-Trak system incorporates two independently adjusted track mounted legs. By extending one track at a time embankments up to 35° can be traversed in complete safety. With both track mounts fully extended a massive ground clearance of up to 600mm can be achieved for clearance of hidden obstacles enabling access to the most difficult terrain. This pioneering feature makes it a popular machine for de-veg contractors working on power line and railway track maintenance.
