VEGETATION CUTTERS
|
Faster and safer (1) In almost all mine affected countries an independent agriculture is of crucial significance. It is the only way to prevent famines or yearlong dependence on food aid programmes in overcrowded refugee camps. • In many regions which are agriculturally profitable it is impossible to use heavy demining machinery like track-type vehicles, because they would destroy the thin layer of humus. Therefore those regions are manually demined, at best with the help of light mobile devices. • The first step has to be the removal of vegetation which is strenuous work. Regular detector work is impossible in an overgrown field that has not been used for years, because the deminer needs free space to swivel the detector. • And, apart from the “regular“ mines, other dangers are lurking in the undergrowth: hidden charges which are released by thin, almost invisible wires. They make the cutting of vegetation an enormously time-consuming, hard and dangerous job. To make this process faster and safer, MgM introduced hydraulic vegetation cutters to the world of demining years ago. These are mounted to mine-protected and armored trucks. They made the vegetation cutting part of the demining process many times faster and completely safe. |
