MarMac TunnelVac

Marshall Machinery is proud to support the berry industry through the design and manufacture of purpose-built equipment developed specifically for Australian growing conditions. Our focus is on creating practical solutions where suitable commercial equipment is not available.

​

 

Organic matter left beneath berry tunnels can take a considerable time to decompose, making removal the most effective management option. If left in place, it can create trip hazards for workers, restrict access, and hinder day-to-day operations within the tunnels.

 

Recognising the lack of a suitable narrow-row throw mulcher available in Australia, Marshall Machinery developed the TunnelVac. Specifically designed for berry tunnel applications, the machine collects organic matter from between the rows and efficiently throws it into a trailing trailer for removal, helping growers maintain safer, cleaner, and more productive tunnel environments.
