Forestry mulching is the process of clearing vegetation by cutting and mulching it on-site in a single operation.
Our specialised, high-powered forestry mulchers are designed to efficiently tackle dense vegetation, woody weeds, regrowth and small trees while leaving a layer of nutrient-rich mulch behind.
Capable of productively processing vegetation up to 400mm+ in diameter, forestry mulching is a fast, cost-effective alternative to traditional clearing methods.
With no piles to burn, no vegetation to cart away and minimal site disturbance, it’s an efficient solution that improves presentation, accessibility and the long-term value of your property.

Our forestry excavator allows us to safely access areas that dedicated forestry mulchers and tractors simply can’t reach.
Equipped with a heavy-duty forestry mulching head, 360° rotating hitch and hydraulic tree grab, it provides the precision, reach and versatility needed for challenging terrain and selective vegetation management.
This specialised machine is ideal for working on steep slopes, creek and riverbanks, around infrastructure, in confined spaces, and within environmentally sensitive areas where a more controlled approach is required. The rotating hitch and tree grab also allow us to safely handle, position and stack vegetation, making it an effective solution for projects that require both mulching and material handling.
Common applications:
Steep slopes and embankments
Creek and riverbank rehabilitation
Selective vegetation management
Working around infrastructure and utilities
Environmentally sensitive areas
Storm clean-up
Access tracks and fence lines
Vegetation handling and stacking

Leucaena is a valuable grazing species when properly managed but can quickly become overgrown, reducing accessibility and productivity.
Our high-powered machinery is capable of efficiently reclaiming overgrown Leucaena rows while maintaining existing row layouts and leaving mulch on-site to improve ground conditions.
Whether it’s routine maintenance or reclaiming neglected paddocks, we provide an efficient solution for grazing properties across Queensland.
-
Bamboo spreads rapidly and can quickly become one of the most difficult vegetation problems to manage. Left untreated, it can damage fences, invade neighbouring properties and overwhelm usable land.
Our specialised equipment allows us to efficiently remove dense bamboo stands, improve accessibility and reclaim overgrown areas without the need for large-scale excavation.
Whether you’re looking to regain control of a small residential area or manage a larger rural property, we can tailor a management plan to suit your goals and provide advice on long-term control options where required.
-
Invasive vegetation can quickly overtake properties, reducing accessibility, increasing fire risk and impacting the health of native ecosystems.
Our specialised equipment efficiently removes dense infestations of woody weeds and regrowth while minimising ground disturbance. Whether you’re reclaiming overgrown acreage, restoring grazing land or improving the presentation of your property, we can tailor a solution to suit your site and objectives.
Common applications:
Lantana
Bamboo
Black Wattle
Camphor Laurel
Chinese Elm
Woody weed infestations
Regrowth control
Property reclamation

Reducing fuel loads is one of the most effective ways to help protect homes, infrastructure and rural properties from bushfire.
We create defendable space by reducing dense vegetation, removing ladder fuels and establishing strategic fire breaks where appropriate. Our low-impact approach leaves protective mulch on the ground while significantly reducing combustible vegetation.
Fire hazard reduction can also improve property access, ongoing maintenance and insurance outcomes.
-
We provide vegetation management solutions for developers, builders, councils, utility providers and civil contractors across a wide range of commercial and infrastructure projects.
From initial site preparation and development clearing to ongoing vegetation maintenance, access creation and environmental rehabilitation, our specialised equipment allows us to work efficiently while tailoring our approach to each project’s unique requirements.
Whether it’s a residential subdivision, industrial development, road corridor, utility easement or council reserve, we deliver safe, reliable vegetation management with minimal site disturbance.
-
We work alongside landowners to improve accessibility, productivity and ongoing property maintenance across a wide range of agricultural operations.
From orchard row maintenance and fence lines to paddock reclamation and access tracks, our specialised equipment provides an efficient alternative to traditional clearing methods while minimising disruption to surrounding areas.
Every property is different, and we’ll work with you to develop the most practical solution for your operation.
-
Vegetation management around infrastructure requires a precise, controlled approach to ensure safe access while protecting valuable assets.
Our specialised equipment allows us to efficiently manage vegetation around powerlines, fence lines, utility easements, pipelines, access corridors and other critical infrastructure where conventional machinery may not be suitable. We tailor our methodology to suit each site, minimising disturbance while maintaining productivity.
Whether supporting utility providers, councils, civil contractors or private landowners, we deliver safe, reliable vegetation management for projects where accuracy and care are essential.
Maximise the potential of your land
Every property has different challenges. We tailor our machinery and methodology to suit vegetation ranging from invasive species and regrowth through to large-scale vegetation management and environmentally sensitive areas.
Specialised Fleet. Tailored Solutions.
No single machine is suited to every project. That’s why Protrax operates a specialised fleet of machinery and attachments, allowing us to select the right combination of equipment for the vegetation, terrain and objectives of every site.
High Powered Forestry Mulchers
Our 200HP dedicated and 143HP rubber tracked forestry mulchers are designed to tackle everything from light regrowth through to dense woody vegetation.
With interchangeable forestry drums, disc mulchers and brush cutters, they can be configured to suit a wide range of vegetation management applications.
Versatile Excavator Solutions
Our Mecalac excavator expands the capability of our fleet, providing precision where reach, control and manoeuvrability are essential.
Equipped with specialised attachments such as a forestry mulcher and 360° tree grab, it’s ideal for steep terrain, difficult access areas and projects requiring greater flexibility.
Purpose Built Attachments
The right attachment can make all the difference. From forestry drums and disc mulchers to brush cutters and 360° tree grab, we select the most suitable tools for each project to maximise productivity while achieving the best possible outcome.
The Protrax Difference
Sustainable Methodology
Minimise waste. Maximise the land.
Rather than clearing vegetation with burning, piling or off-site disposal, our methodology processes material where it stands.
This returns organic matter to the soil, reduces waste and leaves your property cleaner, more accessible and ready for its next stage.
Tailored Solutions
No two properties are the same.
We assess the vegetation, terrain and project objectives to determine the most effective combination of machinery, attachments and methodology.
This ensures every project is approached with the most effective solution from the outset.
Better Outcomes
Every project has a purpose. We help achieve it.
Whether it’s reclaiming overgrown land, reducing fire risk, improving access or preparing for future development, our focus is on delivering practical outcomes that continue to benefit your property long after the machinery has left.
Helping unlock your property’s full potential.
