Self-propelled machines

We offer a complete range of wheeled and tracked self-propelled machines. Our machines are designed with reliability, robustness and accessibility in mind. Our Variotrac and Galotrax are the self-propelled machines with the best power-to-weight ratio on the market.

We also offer tree trimmer self-propelled with a side or rear arm.

Some models are equipped with the Plaisance B-Series. The B-Series offers greater flexibility, comfort and productivity. It features exclusive PTO technology; two rotation speeds and no clutch, reducing the risk of rotor stoppage; and torque multiplication for increased working power.

Tracked – GALOTRAX

The advantage of our tracked self-propelled machines is their low impact on the ground. As a result, pressure is limited to allow the local flora to be disturbed as little as possible. We offer seven models with engine power ranging from 175 to 765 hp.

Wheeled – VARIOTRAC

Our range of wheeled machines includes five models, from 175 to 440 hp. Our Variotrac are self-sufficient for moving from one site to another. It is then possible to switch from 4 to 2-wheel steering to improve the machine’s maneuverability.

Tree trimmer self-propelled

PLAISANCE offers two tree trimmer self-propelled machines: SKYCUT and Variotrac 300R.

The SKYCUT is primarily designed for high-voltage line maintenance. It features a 25-meter fiberglass arm and a circular saw with rotating head.

The Variotrac 300R cleans shoulders and roadsides. Its versatility is characterized on the one hand by a side arm that can be fitted with a hydraulic forestry mulcher or a cutter bar. On the other, a PLAISANCE forestry mulcher is installed at the front.
