GreenMech introduce new EVO 165P SUB-750

July 24, 2020/in Machinery, News, Press Release/by Louise Challiss

GreenMech introduce new EVO 165P SUB-750: ‘We listened, we worked and we made it awesome’ – that was the mantra of GreenMech when they launched their EVO series at the 2019 Arb Show. Now, they’ve made it lighter! Offering all of the proven performance in a sub 750kg package, the EVO 165P SUB-750 is the latest exciting launch in the revolutionary woodchipper collection.

The brand-new EVO 165P SUB-750 retains many of the key features of the series including a wide infeed chute, twin horizontal rollers, all-steel bonnet and heavy-duty flywheel combined with the powerful, yet economic 37hp Briggs & Stratton Vanguard petrol engine. To bring the machine into the sub-750kg bracket, the 165P SUB-750 features a redesigned chassis – rigorously tested to ensure durability – and alterations to its construction and specification, without detriment to its overall performance.

Also as standard on the 165P SUB-750 is GreenMech’s patented disc blade technology, providing up to 200 hours of chipping before re-sharpening is required, and a three year parts and labour warranty.

Commenting on the newest addition, Sales Director Martin Lucas said, “From the off, the EVO collection was very much driven by what the market demands and this is again the case with the sub 750kg EVO 165P SUB-750. The EVO has really established itself as providing more aggressive torque, bite and throughput than most other machines in its category and by incorporating this performance in a lighter weight package, we can meet the requirements of even more of today’s arborists.”

Since the original diesel launch model, GreenMech have introduced an EVO tracked version and an even more powerful EVO 45hp Limited Edition option.

Forum calls for Amenity Standard to become a requirement

July 23, 2020/in Industry News, Press Release/by Kate Hopkins

Forum calls for Amenity Standard to become a requirement: Since its formal launch at the start of this year, the Amenity Standard has been very much welcomed by all sides of both the amenity sector and policy makers.

The Forum is now calling on the UK and national governments to introduce this as a requirement for all operating in the management of weeds, pests and diseases in amenity areas. This would provide the public and all users with the reassurance that the work was being undertaken by trained professionals operating at required standards, committed to continuous professional development, and adopting an integrated approach to address individual situations.

To hold the Amenity Standard, organisations involved in amenity management must be a member of an approved and recognised assurance scheme. Currently there are three such schemes related to different sub sector activities, and two further schemes related to golf and sports surfaces are under development. There is no direct cost to an organisation to hold the Standard other than the cost of being a member of an approved assurance scheme.

Far too often, the high standards of work in amenity are put into question by a few not operating at required levels. This is why the Amenity Standard has been introduced. It demonstrates that the organisation uses the right approach in management of areas and, where plant protection products are used, they are authorised and approved, and applied to ensure safety to the public, the environment and wildlife seeking to create healthy, sustainable amenity spaces fit for purpose. Introducing the Standard as a requirement would allow proper enforcement and provide all involved with confidence in works undertaken.

Professor John Moverley, Independent Chairman of the Amenity Forum said ‘’ The establishment of the Standard is seen very much as a game changing moment for the sector, seeking to provide the public and all involved with the assurance that amenity management operations, wherever undertaken, follow required guidelines for safe us and are appropriate and at the highest standards. Integrated approaches are core to this, making use of all methods available to achieve optimum results.

The Standard has received the backing of all national governments in the UK and is very much aligned to thinking, as the UK and national government are currently reviewing the National Action Plan relating to weed, pest and disease management’’

With the introduction of the Standard as a requirement would come the ability for stricter enforcement. The Forum has now over 100 organisations supporting its work and committed to best practice and continuing to drive up standards at all levels. Everyone operating in the sector should have the same commitment and introducing the Amenity Standard as a requirement is a way to achieve this.

For further information about the Standard, visit the website, www.theamenitystandard.co.uk . Public facing information on what happens in amenity management and how it is achieved can be found at www.getbritainmoving.uk

The Forum is holding its annual conference on October 15^th, 2020 where the theme will be ‘’Planning for the Future’’ The event will be professionally presented online. We are pleased to confirm that an address will be included from a senior government representative. The delegate rate is £50.
