Firebreaks and prevention of fires
Firebreaks can preventively limit the spread of a fire. Maintenance includes the removal of brush and low woody vegetation.

Wild fire & prevention
Year after year, forest fires cause economic and social damage on an unimaginable scale. Native vegetation serves as combustible material, significantly elevating the danger of fires. Mulching preventative fire breaks can limit the spread of fire.
Our cutting-edge equipment has the capability to effectively mulch various forms of vegetation, be it towering trees or undergrowth. This process substantially diminishes the fuel accumulation, offering a viable means to mitigate the impact of forest fires, all while maintaining a low-impact approach that is gentle on the environment.
The operations of fire breaks must often be carried out as quickly and efficiently as possible. Prinoth, with its carriers and mulchers, offers solutions to create and maintain firebreaks safely, both on flat surfaces and on rough terrain and steep slopes.

frequently asked questions
Professionally created firebreaks interrupt the spread of fire by specifically removing or reducing flammable vegetation. With powerful tracked vehicles from Prinoth, even large, difficult-to-access areas can be processed efficiently - a significant contribution to minimizing risk and protecting infrastructure and the population.
Our mulchers are extremely powerful, reliable and suitable for any terrain - from flat surfaces to steep slopes. They enable fast, safe and efficient preventive measures.
Regular care is crucial. Forestry mulchers from Prinoth shred vegetation directly on site and reduce the volume of material sustainably. This saves transport costs and minimizes risk in the long term.
Typical areas of application are: Forest and woodland areas, energy and power lines, road and railroad lines, municipal boundary areas, wildland-urban interface zones. Wherever fuel needs to be reduced, the machines offer an efficient solution.
Thanks to its high performance and robust design, large areas can be processed in a short time. This is particularly important when preventive measures need to be implemented at short notice.
Yes. We offer attachments for tractors, excavators and other carrier vehicles. This allows customers to make optimum use of their existing fleet.
Mulching is one of the most efficient methods of permanently reducing combustible material. It is faster, cheaper and more environmentally friendly than many alternative processes.
Absolutely. In addition to firebreaks, our equipment is suitable for forest maintenance, infrastructure maintenance, recultivation, roadside greenery and many other vegetation management tasks.

Our machines are designed for tough, daily use. High-quality components, robust design and simple maintenance ensure maximum availability and low operating costs.
Mulching reduces fuel without damaging the soil. The shredded vegetation remains on the surface as nutrient-rich mulch and promotes soil quality.
Enclosed, protected cabs, optimum visibility and stable machine concepts ensure maximum operator safety - especially when working on slopes or with dense vegetation.
Yes. Thanks to their crawler chassis, they are specially designed for difficult topography. Slopes, loose soil or rough terrain are not a limitation.
Power lines, roads and railroad lines are particularly at risk. Regular mechanical maintenance reduces fire loads and prevents operational interruptions.
