Clark Industries Aviation Implements, LLC

Clark Industries Aviation Implements, LLC is a U.S. company based in Southern Oregon. It makes the Aerial Grapple Saw, a helicopter-mounted device that cuts trees. The site says the tool was developed to cut coniferous and deciduous trees safely, accurately and efficiently.

The device rotates 360 degrees without limit and tilts 90 degrees. The operator can capture and cut a tree, and can keep cut vegetation under control near power lines. The controller uses a long range wireless system and has an ergonomic mount. The rigging length can be adjusted, and the device can be jettisoned without damaging the aircraft.

The saw is built for the Huey, Bell 407 and Airbus AS350. A larger version, the Aerial Grapple Saw Max, is made for the Kaman K-Max, Sikorsky UH-60 Blackhawk and other Type 1 aircraft.

The site lists users in electric utility, pipeline, Department of Transportation, storm and hurricane relief, and firefighting and wildfire mitigation work. It says the device reduces worker exposure, has a lower environmental impact, has no reach limitations and is cost effective.

The company says the saw has removed over 400,000 trees and has generated revenue for helicopter operators. The site says the company is a certified Kohler Engines original equipment manufacturer and a certified Oregon Products dealer. It keeps spare engines, saw bars and chains in stock.

The company offers consultation and training. Training covers tree removal technique, saw maintenance, safety and ground spotter technique. The site says the company has completed international sales and is developing other devices. Customers who buy the saw get the first chance to buy future products.

The site lists social accounts on Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn and Instagram, plus a contact page. No phone number or street address is listed.
