When your trimming window is short, covering another row isn't simply about speed. It's about getting a consistent result while making the best use of the people and equipment available.

Mechanical trimming gives vineyard teams greater control over canopy growth while helping maintain a clean, consistent row profile across large vineyard blocks.

The Hydralada trimmer range has been developed with productivity and adaptability in mind, helping growers manage vigorous canopy growth efficiently without turning another important seasonal task into a major labour requirement.

Because across hundreds - or thousands - of rows, consistency matters.

Talk to the Hydralada vineyard team about the our range and the right setup for your operation.

Powerline vegetation doesn't always grow somewhere convenient.

Uneven ground, difficult access and the need to work safely around electrical infrastructure create a very different set of requirements for the people and equipment responsible for keeping vegetation under control.

That's exactly the environment the Hydralada MAXI 640i Low Voltage has been developed for.

Built on the heavy-duty 640i MAXI platform, the latest model incorporates a Low Voltage insulated platform specifically engineered for vegetation management and powerline clearance operations.

It retains the mobility Hydralada machines are known for, allowing operators to safely manoeuvre across rough, unprepared ground without requiring outriggers for stability.

For vegetation crews, that means an elevated work platform designed around the environment they actually work in.

Talk to the Hydralada team to learn more about the MAXI 640i Low Voltage.

We're here at TREENET 2026. 🌳

It's great to be in Adelaide alongside so many people who share a genuine interest in better tree management, safer working practices and the future of arboriculture.

The Hydralada team is here throughout the symposium, so if you're attending, stop by for a conversation about elevated work platforms, vegetation management or the challenges you're experiencing out in the field.

We're always interested in hearing how people are working and where equipment can make the job safer, easier or more efficient.

Come and say hello.

The countdown to TREENET 2026 is on. 🌳

From 3 September, the Hydralada team will be in Adelaide for the TREENET Symposium, joining arborists, researchers, urban forest professionals and industry leaders to share knowledge and discuss the future of tree management.

For Hydralada, it is an important opportunity to be part of the wider conversation around how arboriculture continues to evolve, particularly when it comes to creating safer and more practical ways for people to work at height.

We’re looking forward to catching up with familiar faces, meeting new ones and sharing some of the equipment we’ve been developing for vegetation management and elevated access.

If you're heading to TREENET, make sure you come and say hello.
📅 From 3 September 2026

Healthy urban trees don't happen by accident.

Behind every established urban canopy is an ongoing cycle of planning, planting, monitoring, pruning and maintenance.

And as our towns and cities place greater value on their urban forests, the conversation also needs to include the people responsible for maintaining them.

How do we give arborists better access to established trees?

How can crews work efficiently around streets, parks and public spaces?

And what role can equipment play in making ongoing tree maintenance safer and more practical?

These are exactly the kinds of conversations we're looking forward to as Hydralada heads to the 2026 TREENET National Street Tree Symposium.

We'll be bringing our experience in elevated mobility and access equipment into a much bigger conversation about the future of Australia's urban trees.

Heading to TREENET too? Come and talk trees, access and the future of urban forestry with our team.

Getting to height is only part of the job. What happens once you're there?

For anyone regularly working at elevation, access isn't simply a question of how high you can reach.

It's also about what happens between each task.

How often does the operator need to descend?

How easily can equipment be repositioned?

What happens when the ground isn't perfectly prepared?

And how much productive time is being lost simply moving between work areas?

These are the questions worth asking when you're reviewing access equipment.

Hydralada's single-man MEWPs have been developed around practical elevated mobility - giving operators an access solution designed to keep work moving.

Whether you're maintaining an orchard, working around buildings or managing trees, the right access equipment should do more than get you off the ground.

It should make the job at height easier to complete.

One tie takes seconds. Thousands of them don't.

Some of the biggest opportunities to improve vineyard productivity can be found in the smallest, most repetitive jobs.

Tying is a perfect example.

Performed once, it's a quick task. Repeated row after row, vine after vine, those seconds quickly become hours of labour - not to mention thousands of repetitive hand movements for the operator.

The PELLENC FIXION F3X tying machine is designed to make that process quicker and easier.

It's a good reminder that mechanisation doesn't always mean replacing a major piece of equipment.

Sometimes it's simply about looking at the everyday jobs your team completes thousands of times each season and asking:

Is there a better way to do this?

🎥 See the FIXION F3X in action and talk to Hydralada about PELLENC battery tools for your vineyard.

Don't just take our word for it.

Simon Easton has put hundreds of hours on his Hydralada Nblosi orchard platforms at Wairepo Holdings - including putting them to work through winter on his Moutere Hills orchards.

And that's exactly what we like to see.

For Simon, the Nblosi isn't simply a harvest machine. His two platforms are working throughout the year, helping his team tackle the different jobs that come with managing an orchard.

The terrain also puts the machines to the test, where four-wheel drive and auto self-levelling help the platforms work across the Moutere Hills.

As Simon puts it:
“Great machines and they make the job both faster and safer.”

When investing in orchard machinery, one of the most important questions to consider is how much of the year that equipment can actually be put to work.

While harvest is often the first job that comes to mind when we talk about orchard platforms, there is a lot of work that happens at height long before fruit is ready to come off the tree. Pruning, tree training and thinning all require teams to move efficiently through the orchard, often completing repetitive work across hundreds of rows.

The Hydralada Nblosi has been designed to support that wider orchard cycle, giving multiple operators a stable working platform that can be used across different jobs throughout the season.

For growers considering greater mechanisation, this is where utilisation becomes particularly important. The value of a machine should not necessarily be measured by how well it performs one job, but by how effectively it can support the wider operation throughout the year.

If you are looking at ways to improve how your team works at height, talk to Hydralada about where a multi-person platform could fit within your orchard.

🌱 We're heading to the New Zealand Horticulture Conference 2026!

We're excited to be exhibiting at the New Zealand Horticulture Conference in Wellington on 28–29 July and look forward to catching up with growers, orchard managers, contractors and industry partners from across the country. The conference brings together the horticulture sector to share ideas, tackle challenges and explore practical solutions for the future.

If you're looking for safer, more efficient ways to improve productivity in your orchard, vineyard or horticultural operation, come and have a chat with the Hydralada team.

Whether you're planning for your next machinery investment or simply want to see what's new, we'd love to understand your operation and discuss how our elevated work platforms and specialist equipment can help you get more done- safely and efficiently.

📍 Visit Hydralada in the exhibition hall - Stand 22
📅 28–29 July 2026
📍 Tākina Wellington Convention & Exhibition Centre

Come and say hello - we'll see you there!
