Our Products
Product development and improvement is an on-going company wide characteristic. Commercialization of products take place upon successful testing and industry feedback confirms the demand for Novelquip products
Pitting Attachments
Multipit R-S-E Precision
Our premium pitting head – this is the future of forestry. Hundred percent accuracy and quality without requiring marking and supervision. This machine operation requires very low levels of supervision as the quality and precision of the operation is continuously electronically controlled. Full (PLC) electronic quality and quantity control of the operation. Sends data e-mails to designated addresses, GPS every standing position of the carrier (enabling site mapping), informs the operator on completion of every pit – hence optimised productivity, and a GPS grid system with 38mm accuracy for mapping pit locations. We recommend the Volvo EC55B Pro excavator or similar as the optimum carrier. Warrantee: 1000hrs on motor, gearbox and electronic systems.
Multipit R-S Electronic
This is the well-known NOVEL Multipit head fitted to more than 30 pitting machines in the South African forestry industry. Full (PLC) electronic quality and quantity control of the operation. Sends data e-mails to designated addresses, GPS every standing position of the carrier (enabling site mapping). Informs the operator on completion of every pit, hence optimised productivity. We recommend the Volvo EC55B Pro excavator or similar as the optimum carrier. Warrantee: 1000hrs on motor, gearbox, DF (Double Flange) and Electronics.
Multipit R-S Counter
Gearbox, double flange, centre auger and tines, protection to motor and gearbox, and mechanical pit counter to record production (decreased supervision required). Warrantee: 1000hrs on motor, gearbox and DF.
Multipit R-Shock
Gearbox, double flange, centre auger and tines, protection to motor and gearbox. This option is strongly recommended above option MULTIPIT One. Warrantee: 1000hrs on motor, gearbox and DF.
MULTIPIT One
Base model: Gearbox, double flange, centre auger and tines. This is a straight forward budget pitting head (no shock protection). Warrantee: 250hrs on motor and gearbox. 1000hrs on DF.

Novel Multi-head machine
Four-head pitting machines are available as a special product. The range was discontinued due to the South African policy of inter-stump pitting (No inter-row pitting).
Planting Equipment
NOVEL ProPlant
The NOVEL ProPlant machines are machines that Pit, Fertilize, Plant, Firm up and Gel / Water the seedling in a single operation.
It is a precision machine dedicated to plantation establishment. Quality of every activity is electronically controlled and a single operator is required. The precision of the operation ensures precision of investment and hence an optimized return to the land owner.
ProPlant machines are machines with up to 8 heads per machine catering for an espacement of 3m or 3.5m between the rows and 2m, 2.5m, 3m or 3.5m within the row. High productivity ensures cost effectiveness and precision ensures optimum yield per hectare.
A ProPlant was successfully developed and tested during 2015 and Novelquip Forestry is in the process of commercializing the ProPlant machines.
Multipurpose Silviculture Carriers
Novel T12 and Novel T20
These vehicles are 4X4, 4WS, Crab-steer with an overall length of 6.2m and 8.2m respectively with an overall width of 2.4m and a ground clearance of 450mm. The carry capacity of the T12 is 12 tons and that of the T20 is 20 tons. Deutz-Weichai engines of 95kw and 199kw are used.
These rough terrain vehicles are used for bulk water, spray booms, secondary watering of seedlings, carriers for equipment or silviculture accessories.
