Benefits and Applications

GENERAL TECHNOLOGY BENEFITS

park_road_photo (23K)
  • low ground-pressure (LGP)
  • no damage to roots of neighboring "keeper" trees
  • no more soil rutting, erosion and runoff pollution
  • no more chipping, hauling, dumping of debris
  • no more burning - no fire risk or smoke pollution
  • clear land FASTER & COST EFFECTIVELY
  • easier, sometimes NO permitting needed

You will find Gyro-Trac equipment used in construction, forestry management, forestry harvesting (post-cleanup), oil exploration (seismic surveys), ROW maintenance (road, rail, waterway banks), cutting utilities (power, oil, gas), fence lines, invasive species mitigation and more on commercial, industrial and military sites ranging from the Florida Keys to Hawaii, from Texas to the Yukon.

Land Clearing

  • large and small lot beautification

Construction

  • pre-grading for site prep
  • vegetation reduction

Fire Pre-Suppression and Suppression

  • cutting fire breaks and fire-fighting access lanes
  • thinning hazardous forest fuels at wildland-urban interfaces
  • excellent initial attack vehicle

Forestry and Reforestation

  • eliminating invasive plant species
  • promoting indigenous species
  • wildlife habitat restoration

Recreational Clearing

  • pastures & riding trails
  • pond visibility
  • hunting plots (e.g., hub and spoke shooting lanes)

Site Cleanup

  • clearing slash piles, trees and stumps from conventional bulldozer-type clearing
  • clearing post-tree-harvesting slash and debris (the GT-25 is well-suited for this application)
  • excellent rapid-response machine for storm-slash and fire cleanup

ROW and Utility Work

  • cutting or maintaining survey lines
  • seismic oil exploration lines
  • fence lines
  • power lines
  • gas and oil pipelines
  • drill site prep

Railroads

  • cutting lines of sight on rights-of-way for crossings

Roadways

  • cutting roads that can be driven on in minutes

Nautical

  • brushing and clearing on canals and waterway banks
