Coppicing - AACPS provides a cost effective, SAFER alternative to manual chainsaw coppicing through mechanised operating. This provides a sure continuity to achieving the necessary works for the customer, ensuring an optimum and SAFE result for your plantation.

Pine Thinnings / Wildings / Regeneration - With mechanised cutting of your plantation you will see optimum results delivered through a cost effective and SAFER means of thinning. This will eliminate the risks associated with manual works and deliver optimum benefits to your company.

Cut / Spray - This new concept allows you to cut and spray your stump, where in the past you needed two operators to achieve the outcome with varying results. This benefit allows a one stop cut and spray, with the chemical targeting the stump in a 3-8 second pass, guaranteeing the chemical gets to your targeted root zone. AACPS has all the necessary spray contracting licences in place to deliver you an optimum SAFE result.
