The mechanical felling wedge, built in Austria

GM-Tech is an Austrian company building forestry tools focused on making felling work safer, simpler and more efficient — practical, field-level engineering rather than heavy machinery.

Its best-known product is the mechanical felling wedge, which uses a threaded spindle mechanism to apply steady, controlled pressure that guides the tree in the intended direction while preventing chainsaw pinching — a meaningful safety improvement over a traditional wedge, which relies on repeated hammer strikes rather than controlled force.

Exc@v8 is the sole UK dealer for GM-Tech, supplying its proven tool range with local access for forestry professionals.
