Ergonomic tools

Work smarter and more comfortably with the ergonomic tools from GTM Professional. Our Elephants Trunk and Invasive Tree Extractor reduce strain on your body during intensive tasks such as hedge trimming or removing invasive plants. Specially developed for professionals who value efficiency.

Invasive Tree Extractor

  • Ergonomic tree puller
  • For trunks up to 8 cm
  • 3-stage lever design
  • Weight: 10,5 kg
The GTM Professional Invasive Tree Extractor is a cleverly designed product that effectively tackles invasive exotic species and other perennial woody plants, while respecting the surrounding vegetation.

The Invasive Tree Extractor uses a well-designed three-lever system that gives you ten times more pulling power than you put in. This allows it to effortlessly remove plants with a trunk diameter of up to 8 centimeters, without damaging nearby roots or plants.

The robust, durable materials guarantee years of use, while the ergonomic design significantly reduces back strain. In this way, the Invasive Tree Extractor combines power, control, and ease of use in one reliable tool.

The removable block also allows for controlled extraction of narrower trunks and young seedlings. This allows the device to easily handle both light and heavy vegetation. The handle is also detachable, making the Invasive Tree Extractor easy to transport or store.

Elephants Trunk 3

  • Ergonomic harness ET3
  • Safe and easy to use
  • For various machines
  • Collapsible

The Elephants Trunk 3 is the new ergonomic harness from GTM Professional that allows you to trim hedges without getting tired. The harness is worn like a backpack and has optimal ventilation. With the adjustable shoulder and hip straps, the Elephants Trunk offers a comfortable fit for every body.

The pulley on the back has a pulling force of 3 kg. In this way, a large part of the weight of the hedge trimmer is taken off your hands and transferred to the hips. The Elephants Trunk can also be used for other portable garden tools between 4.5 and 8 kg, except for chainsaws. The tool is attached to the harness with the large carabiner. For battery powered hedge trimmers and other garden tools with two-hand safety, use the supplied attachment cord.

The steel cable moves smoothly in any direction via the guide rollers, even when working above your power. The aluminum tube is rotatable to prevent it from getting stuck in the hedge. Moreover, the tube is adjustable in length and fully collapsible so that you can store or take the harness compactly.

Trimming hedges all day long? The Elephants Trunk 3 ensures less muscle pain and more efficiency. It requires less effort from your body so that you not only work faster, but also safer.

Exclusively developed and produced by De Wild

De Wild has developed two innovative products that will make your work considerably lighter. The Invasive Tree Extractor is a tree puller that effortlessly removes invasive species with a trunk diameter of up to 8 cm, without damaging surrounding vegetation.
Also discover our Elephant Trunk, which allows you to trim hedges all day long without muscle or joint pain. This ergonomic harness is literally named after an elephant's trunk, known for its enormous strength and agility.

The Elephants Trunk lightens your work

Hedge trimming? There's another way!

When you work with a motorized hedge trimmer for long periods of time, you quickly experience muscle fatigue or even painful shoulders and arms. Besides physical strain, your work speed and concentration often decrease, leading to potentially dangerous situations. That is something you want to avoid. Fortunately, hedge trimming can be done differently...
With GTM Professional's Elephants Trunk, the weight of the hedge trimmer is reduced by 3 kg. Through a pulley on the harness's lower back, the machine's weight is shifted from your arms to your hips. This significantly relieves the muscle groups you most use during hedge trimming.

Easily work above shoulder height

The Elephants Trunk in action

The Elephants Trunk works similarly to an exoskeleton, but without expensive batteries. The pulling force is set to 3 kg. For example, if you're using a 5 kg hedge trimmer, you'll only be holding 2 kg with the Elephants Trunk. The frame and comfortable straps together ensure even weight distribution from the pulley system on the back.
The steel cable smoothly guides up and down, allowing for fluid movements and a perfectly trimmed hedge. The aluminum tube is rotatable, preventing it from getting stuck in the hedge. Curious how this ergonomic harness works? Watch our video about the Elephants Trunk 3!

The ergonomic harness

Less pain, more productivity

More than 10,000 people around the world have discovered that trimming hedges doesn't have to be a tiring job anymore. The Elephants Trunk is simply worn like a backpack and offers optimal ventilation. With adjustable straps on both the shoulders and hips, the harness is suitable for almost any body type.
“I have a big hedge, about 100 meters. Was previously busy all day and had to rest regularly, working above shoulder height is tough! Now it's a piece of cake and I can keep pruning: ready in 3 hours!”
Once the harness is comfortably adjusted to your body, simply attach the hedge trimmer to the steel cable using the carabiner. For battery-powered hedge trimmers, use the supplied attachment cord. The Elephants Trunk can also be used for other portable garden tools weighing between 4.5 kg and 8 kg. Think of your leaf blower, for example, but don't use the harness for a chainsaw.
