Welcome to the LightfootTM web page - this is where the rubber meets the ground - literally!
IRM provides hazardous fuels reduction in the forest using its one-of-a-kind LightfootTM.
The LightfootTM is an ecologically safe machine, which because of its low ground pressure and rubber tracks, can work in the forest and other sensitive areas with minimal impact.
Benefits to using LightfootTM:
- Low ground pressure (<3lbs/in2) minimizes soil compaction.
- Rubber tracks help minimize soil displacement.
- High horsepower (102) and auxiliary hydraulic capacity (40gpm/3000psi) means the LightfootTM is highly effective.
- Low operating weight (11,000 lbs) allows for high mobility and virtually no move-in cost.
- Multiple implements allow for effective treatment of many different types of vegetation, from small shrubs to large trees.
- Unlike other machines, the LightfootTM does not throw material when masticating brush, thereby making it safe to use around homes and people.
IRM's LightfootTM is ideally suited to working on all sorts of restoration forestry projects, as well as fuels reduction projects within the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI).
