As INFACO takes part in the Forest'innov trade fair (19-21 November 2025 in Besançon), let's take a look at how the brand's electric pruning shears are perfectly suited to the forestry sector. In the world of professional forestry equipment (forestry winches, forestry trailers, branch shredders, forestry cranes, wood splitters, etc.), machines have to meet the demands of performance, safety and suitability for woodworking. The addition of a lightweight, portable power tool to the range of equipment already adopted by the sector.
One of the major challenges in forestry is to have a tool capable of making precise and efficient cuts on branches or even light trunks, in sometimes complex access areas. Forestry equipment must adapt to the constraints of the terrain (slopes, hardwoods, variable diameters, timber transport, skidding). The INFACO F3020 electric pruning shears meet these needs.
The latest model in the range has a cutting capacity of up to 40 mm in the standard kit, 45 mm in the medium kit and 55 mm in the maxi kit. It can therefore handle large diameters, making it ideal for forestry work (clearing, maintenance, pruning of secondary wood). The tool is also compact and lightweight, for maximum comfort.
The timber industry is subject to major safety constraints: unstable environments, use of heavy saws or machines, risks of falling, muscular fatigue and pruning at height. In this context, the choice of appropriate and safe professional forestry equipment is essential.
The INFACO electric pruning shears have a wide range of settings (half-opening, soft/standard mode, blade crossing) as well as a standard safety device that reacts instantly if the blade comes into contact with the opposite hand. An additional Contactless safety system is also available.
The pruning shears also come with a number of options, including a fixed or telescopic pole, so you canreach branches up to 6m high without a ladder. This saves time on building sites, while limiting physical effort and the risk of falling.
The timber industry requires a global vision of equipment: from stand maintenance and thinning to timber transport (forestry trailer, forestry tractor), shredding, wood splitting, skidding and cutting equipment (circular saw, chainsaw). In our case, the INFACO electric pruning shears make perfect sense as a complementary tool, integrated into a range of professional forestry equipment. The purchase of the tool is considerably cheaper than that of a heavy machine (mulcher, crane, winch) for certain light operations, which improves the range of equipment available according to need.
It is the ideal back-up solution for maintenance operations, clearing, preparation before skidding or for firewood, in addition to the main equipment (forestry tractor, trailer, splitter, etc.).
As you can see, the F3020 electric pruning shears represent real added value for the timber industry, combining cutting power, enhanced safety and an attractive price. We invite you to come and test the tool at the Forest'Innov trade show (stand H12), being held from 19 to 20 November at the Palais des Congrès in Besançon. And don't hesitate to contact our distribution network if you would like a free trial in the field.
The price of a pruning shear may vary depending on the model, options and country. To obtain a precise quotation and benefit from advice tailored to your needs, we advise you to contact your nearest INFACO-approved distributor. They will be able to advise you on the solution best suited to your activity.
The F3020 model can be used in standard kits up to 40 mm, in medium kits up to 45 mm and in maxi kits up to 55 mm cutting diameter.
No. It does not replace heavy machinery (forestry shredder, forestry trailer, wood splitter, skidding winches). It is a complementary tool designed for light pruning or maintenance work in forestry up to the aforementioned diameter.
Yes, the pruning shears are designed for professional use and can be adapted to suit forestry conditions in France.
The guide price for the standard model is €1,480 excluding VAT in France for the 2025-2026 season, excluding additional safety system and pole.
Yes: that’s precisely the point of these pruning shears. It can be integrated into a chain of forestry operations: for example, to prepare branches before skidding, or to clear areas before the passage of a forestry trailer or tractor.
In 1984, Daniel Delmas, founder of INFACO, invented the world’s very first electric pruning shears: the Electrocoup. Since then, INFACO has continued to innovate, with emblematic models such as the F3015 and F3020 pruning shears and technological advances such as ever more powerful lithium batteries.
The link between INFACO and its distributors means that we are as close as possible to the end users. It is they who feed back expectations, constraints in the field and suggestions for improvement. These exchanges feed the internal teams (after-sales service, design office, quality) and enable us to design tools such as the INFACO F3020 Electrocoup or the F3015 pruning shears that are ever more adapted. It is this constant dialogue that has been the strength of the INFACO brand for over 40 years.
The wireless safety device works by anticipating danger, using a receiver in the pruning shears and a glove with a transmitter. A protective bubble forms around the cutting head of the pruning shears: when the opposite hand gets too close, the blade opens instantly. A real invisible protection, this contactless device promises to re-educate the cutting gesture with the utmost precaution.
The option features three protection zones that can be set directly from the pruning shears or the INFACO mobile app (to be combined with an optional connected box) to suit the pruner’s hand. The oval-shaped protection zone has been designed to follow the curves of the hand and preserve working habits.
