Low ground pressure, manoeuvrability, great visibility and a huge lifting power make the Avant mini loader ideal for plant and tree nurseries as well as flower farms. The Avant mini loader is a versatile all-in-one loader for nurseries.

 

On an Avant mini loader the operator is positioned on the front of the loader to provide an unrestricted view of the attachment. The off-centre boom on an Avant mini loader allows excellent forward vision, a clear view of the attachment and significantly increasing all-around visibility reducing the chance of work site accidents.

 

The compact size and tight-turning articulated chassis on this small articulated loader make it easy to navigate tight spaces allowing operators to move freely among the plants and trees without damaging established and sensitive surfaces as it turns or carries a load.

 

With the telescopic boom, nurseries can reach new heights and have greater reach.

We are always looking for new ways to create a better chipping experience and our goal is to produce products that help you to ‘HANSFORM’ your landscape like us – working faster, better, and safer than ever before.

  • Our garden chippers.

Garden chippers are great for processing all your unwanted branch and organic material into mulch of a fine, even texture – ideal for composting or mulching. Useful all year round as you do your winter pruning, spring clean-up or trimming back in summer. A Hansa chipper will offer you a much faster , more efficient, and more user-friendly operation. The rotor design allows fibrous materials such as palm fronds to be processed, without running the risk of wrapping around a shaft. Recycle your waste and return it to your garden as rich organic fertiliser and retain moisture in the ground. 

  • Lifestyle

Owners of lifestyle and small holdings up to 20 Ha need chippers capable of handling larger capacities and volume. With a maximum capacity of 70-130mm the lifestyle range include road tow-able and tractor mounted options to suit a wide range of applications. If you want to keep on top of our lifestyle block efficiently but need to constantly process unwanted branches and garden material – Hansa’s range of chippers offer the perfect solution. A Hansa chipper will chip/shred any branches (green or dry), along with other general garden pruning’s such as hedge material, vines and flower stalks. With its efficient self-feeding action, the lifestyle chipper range are our most user-friendly chippers. Thanks to the higher outlet chutes mulch can be discharged directly onto a trailer, Ute eliminating the need for double handling.

Plenty Plants emerged from a vision to convert our farm into a low-nitrogen producing property, to safeguard and enhance the local streams, wetlands, and lakes in the Lake Rotorua and Lake Rotoiti catchment areas.

 

Our team is dedicated to cultivating robust plants that will thrive as quality trees, whether for revegetation or forestry ecosystems. We employ technologies like Ellepot’s degradable paper plug system not just for its ingenuity, but because it yields stronger, healthier root systems in a more efficient and sustainable manner.

 

This approach translates to lower transport emissions and costs, reduced environmental impact and planting expenses compared to other methods, and notably less waste with the elimination of plastic bags and disposable containers.

 

We specialise in growing natives for revegetation of land as well as key forestry varieties for plantation and permanent forest projects. Talk to us about how we can help with your project from sourcing the best seed through to planting and managing your ecosystem.
