Thomas Hoogwerkers en Ufkes Greentec bundelen hun krachten voor een sterke toekomst Merchtem, 26 November 2025 – Thomas Hoogwerkers en Ufkes Greentec slaan de handen in elkaar! Vanaf 1 januari 2026 wordt Thomas Hoogwerkers voortgezet onder de nieuwe naam Thomas & Ufkes BV. Met deze stap bundelen beide bedrijven hun jarenlange ervaring en innovatieve kracht om klanten nog gerichter en efficiënter te ondersteunen. De nieuwe organisatie is klaar om haar positie in België te versterken en de stap naar Wallonië en Frankrijk te zetten, terwijl Ufkes Greentec zijn sterke positie en merkidentiteit behoudt.

We are proud to announce that DIR International Trading has become our new dealer in Spain. This collaboration marks an important step in our growth and international expansion. We look forward to a successful partnership and are excited about the opportunities this cooperation will bring in the Spanish market. Here’s to a successful future with DIR International Trading!

After a long wait, last week we finally drove the first pile into the ground for our new warehouse in Drachten! We are in the process of constructing a brand-new facility, specially designed to provide space for the storage of machines and parts. This expansion will not only create more capacity but also open up new opportunities to further optimize our service.

At Ufkes Greentec, all products, which are made in our own factory, are extensively tested before they are handed over to the customer. The Ufkes test centre ensures that the quality is guaranteed and the customer can use the machine as expected. All machines, from large to small, are subjected to a thorough test. Small and large wood chippers, wood chipper combinations but also stump grinders, forestcutters and three-point linkage machines, as well as wood cranes pass the test centre. The start of each test is a visual inspection of the machine. Parts, customer-specific wishes and options are optically checked. The outcome of this first stage is whether all parts are fixed and whether the machine is complete.

A nice delivery just before the weekend! Just before the weekend, Luchtenberg Boomzorg received his new Greentec Cheetah 30 fast traffic disc shredder. This 6.5 tons shredder has a FTG timber crane with an outreach of no less than 6.3 meters and is built on a sprung heavy tandem chassis. All functions of the shredder can be operated both manually and by remote control. This shredder is also equipped with a combi feed hopper for hand and crane infeed. The machine is designed according to the customer's wishes in an orange color scheme with black rims.

New to the range is the Greentec Piranha 10 stump grinder. This largest mechanically-driven stump grinder in the Piranha family is suitable for tractors with a power rating from 150 hp. With its double arm and 1000 mm grinding wheel, the machine has a very large range. This makes the Piranha 10 ideal for removing large stumps in one go without having to move the tractor. The double arm construction also makes it easy to remove stumps from slopes or ditch edges. The hydraulically adjustable protective cover minimises material splashing. By tilting the protective cover backwards, full-field milling is also possible. The standard heavy-duty dozer bar also makes it easy to close holes. The compact transport position makes the Piranha 10 easy and safe to move on the road.

This completely new version of the Jaguar 40 series comes on rubber tracks with high ground clearance. This makes hard-to-reach areas, terrain with lots of stubbles and wet areas accessible for work without damaging the ground. The machine is easy to operate with remote control. A 140 hp Stage V Doosan engine ensures maximum capacity from this compact machine. As an option, the machine can be fitted with a slewing ring (270°). The infeed can be turned quickly and easily to the material to be chipped. Also the machine can be equipped with a telescopic woodcrane, a closed infeed chain to allow easy feeding of residual material and a winch to pull the wood towards the machine.
