Jarraff Industries

What Jarraff Industries does

Jarraff Industries, founded in 1979 and headquartered in Saint Peter, Minnesota, manufactures specialized tree trimming and vegetation management equipment for the forestry and utility industries. Its core product line, marketed under the "Jarraff Tree Trimmers" brand, consists of aerial tree-trimming machines offered in multiple terrain-specific configurations: the JARRAFF 4 Wheel Drive (versatile terrain use), JARRAFF Quad Track (high traction and stability), JARRAFF Track (low ground pressure for swamps and bogs), JARRAFF Mountable (turnkey carrier solution mountable onto road trucks or amphibious machines), and the MINI JARRAFF, a remote-controlled compact unit designed for urban and municipal tree trimming.

The underlying technology centers on purpose-built mechanical cutting and trimming heads integrated with configurable carrier platforms engineered for distinct ground conditions and operational environments, with operator safety and productivity emphasized as core design priorities. The company sells exclusively through an independent dealer network — including global reach via the Prinoth (HTI Group) vegetation management platform and its "Find a Dealer" function — rather than via direct sales. Revenue is generated through one-time hardware sales of capital equipment to vegetation management contractors (primary segment) and municipalities/urban forestry departments (secondary segment). No pricing, revenue figures, or contract structures are publicly disclosed.
