Berkenheger

Anton Berkenheger GmbH & Co. KG is a manufacturer of mowing and collection boats and various other tools for water management. The establishment of the company in the 1960s was preceded by an invention from the farmer Anton Berkenheger. Berkenheger, who was also head of the Water and Soil Association Meerbach in the Haren/Ems region, had developed an innovative three-wheel grass-cutter for ditch embankments and had it patented in 1963. This device made it possible for the first time to mow ditches and waterways with mechanical assistance. The significantly easier working situation that the device provided in the field of water management laid the foundation for the success and expansion of the company to the present day. The company is now found under the brand name “BERKY” an is the world's leading manufacturer of machinery and equipment for cleaning and maintenance of waters. The extensive range of Berkenheger GmbH and Co. KG also includes powerful mowing and work boats. The mowing boat is used in all applications where rivers, lakes or slopes must be cleaned or stripped of excess vegetation. The various BERKY mowing and cleaning models for water management can be used in many different mowing situations in the water. Many years of company experience and the desire to continually develop and improve has led to a wide range of high quality mowing boats. Mowing boats are complex working equipment, which are subject to particularly high loads through use in water. Therefore, it is extremely important to use high quality and professional components to ensure absolute reliability. As with all mowers, the cutting unit is a central component that has a significant influence on the performance of mowing boat. Berkenheger GmbH and Co. KG has found a professional partner for cutting system technology in Ennepetaler Schneid- und Mähtechnik. The patented double knife from ESM have been used in mowing boats and amphibious vehicles for BERKY as U, T or side cutting systems for years and guarantee highest reliability and professional mowing results.
