Which Wood Chipper Size Do You Need?
A question we receive with highest frequency regards which machine to go for, with our guidance changing based on the exact materials being handled and your regular processing volume requirements.
6-inch wood chippers in Churchhill
Amazing! These amazing 6-inch chippers can cut through branches measuring up to 150mm (6 inches) across – ideal for nearly all your back garden needs, hedge trimming jobs and smaller tree maintenance jobs! Forst’s brilliant 6-inch towable designs are surprisingly compact units that easily fit through typical garden entrances and can be easily pulled behind your transit van or pickup truck. Isn’t that fantastic for taking care of those garden clearance jobs done?
For individuals tending gardens mainly tending to residential properties, clipping hedges and taking out small trees, a 6-inch chipper easily deals with the workload without the extra bulk and expense that comes with larger equipment.
The 6-inch variants weigh less than 750kg, permitting towing with a standard driving licence without requiring a B+E towing endorsement. This is particularly significant if your staff includes individuals who have not acquired this additional licence category.
8-inch wood chippers in Churchhill
Interested in a machine that chomps through branches as thick as 200mm (8 inches)? The 8-inch chipper processes material quicker thanks to its enlarged feed area and more powerful engine. Need serious kit? Forst’s 8-inch range comes in both towable and tracked versions, specifically designed for professional arborists, major clearance jobs, and those long graft days when you’re keeping the machine running from sunrise to sunset. Ideal for when you’ve got mountains of woody waste to process!
Routine cross-cutting of thick branches to fit a 6-inch throat is done away with with an 8-inch machine, permitting whole insertions. On busy days, this labour saving adds up dramatically. The trade-off is enhanced weight (most 8-inch units require a B+E licence for towing) and elevated rental or acquisition costs, but dedicated teams make up for this through boosted productivity.
Towable vs Tracked Wood Chippers
Fancy a chipper which you can transport from site to site? Towable chippers are supplied fitted onto road-legal chassis that connect to your vehicle for effortless relocation to any job site! They’re perfect for most situations because you only have to drive to your location, unhitch the chipper, and start working immediately. Tracked chippers, alternatively, are self-powered machines that work brilliantly in those tricky spots where trailers just can’t get to the work area. Fantastic for getting into those challenging areas effortlessly!
Challenging gradients, unstable terrain, wooded areas lacking vehicular entry points, and locations where wood requires significant manual moving from accessible surfaces all represent scenarios in which tracked equipment substantially lowers work and time expenditure, as the chipper can be placed directly at the timber source rather than necessitating hauling of materials to the machine.
The Forst Wood Chipper Range
Our full Forst lineup encompasses towable, tracked, PTO, and compact units offered in both petrol and diesel options. Carefully crafted on British soil, every Forst chipper is fitted with the innovative ForstGrip feed rollers and sophisticated AutoIntelligence feed control as standard equipment across the lineup. Each new machine arrives with the reassurance of a complete three-year warranty.
The series begins with more compact 6-inch units for clients with restricted funds or simpler tasks, moves through the main towable line-up in both petrol and diesel variants, and reaches to 8-inch tracked units engineered for professional contractors. Tractor-mounted PTO variants are also offered for customers who prefer this attachment style instead of an independent device. For first-time buyers, we will talk through your typical workflow, the dimensions of wood you routinely process, and your frequency of usage. As stockists of the complete Forst catalogue, we have no incentive to recommend a larger or costlier model than what actually matches your requirements.
We have used chippers available in stock, including Forst and a range of other makes. Each second-hand machine passes through our workshop for thorough inspection before delivery, and you’ll receive a straightforward evaluation of its condition, usage hours, and expected remaining service life. Planning to get started or keeping expenses down? A reliable pre-owned chipper that’s been inspected and serviced by our technical team could be a smart option to get your business started without investing in brand-new equipment. Isn’t that a better way to start?
The ARB Max Wood Chipper Range
As official dealers for both Forst and Arbmax, we confidently partner with the Northern Ireland manufacturer whose selection of four chipper models are ideal for operators needing enhanced capacity exceeding standard arborist machinery whilst maintaining a towing weight below 3.5 tonnes, thereby eliminating the necessity for an HGV licence.
As your workload goes beyond the capabilities of compact 6-inch or 8-inch arb chippers, Arbmax proves itself as the ideal upgrade, delivering remarkable capacity spanning 12 and 18 inches. Forestry professionals, biomass operations, and local councils handling storm debris all find that this superior capability provides valuable returns through significant time savings when working on location.

Hire or Buy a Wood Chipper in Churchhill?
Establishing whether you should procure or temporarily acquire a chipper depends on the regularity with which you utilise such equipment and if your specific operational demands justify long-term ownership of the device.
Our rental fleet encompasses 6-inch and 8-inch Forst chippers available in both towable and tracked models. Each machine is given maintenance in our workshop between rentals, guaranteeing well-maintained blades, properly adjusted feed roller settings, and engines that start right away. We provide daily, weekly, and extended rental periods with preferential rates for longer-term hires.
Across the stretch of Churchhill, we supply both drop-off and pick-up services, though you’re equally welcome to pick up from our Cumbernauld branch. When arborists find themselves between equipment, groundskeepers undertake clearance projects, or council grounds maintenance teams need additional resources, choosing a dedicated provider for your hire guarantees you’ll receive the right chipper suited to your specific task—not simply whatever is in stock at a standard hire facility.
When your profession entails regular chipping activities, purchasing proves to be the more logical choice. For operators located in Churchhill, this results in having your dealer merely 15 minutes distant rather than positioned at the outermost edge of the nation. Warranty services, maintenance procedures, component replacements, and professional guidance are all easily accessible within your locality. Should your chipper require technical attention, you simply bring it to our Cumbernauld workshop and get it once the necessary work has been completed.
Wood Chipper Servicing and Parts in Churchhill
Impressive, isn’t it! From routine servicing to blade sharpening, hydraulic servicing, electrical repairs and total overhauls, our Cumbernauld workshop services chippers from all top brands. Using Forst, Timberwolf, GreenMech, Jensen or TP machines? Brilliant news! Whatever chipper you use, we have the skills to keep it in excellent condition. Our expert team knows these machines thoroughly, ensuring your equipment receives the proper maintenance it deserves!
Blades and anvils deteriorate quicker than other parts. Operating a chipper with blunt blades decreases performance but also puts more pressure on the engine, hydraulic feed system and flywheel, ultimately shortening the lifespan of all other machine components. Our workshop maintains a supply of genuine Forst spare parts, including blades, anvils, feed roller components, belts, filters and commonly replaced wear items. The majority of these parts can be collected immediately from our premises, or we offer next-day delivery throughout the UK.
Customers from Churchhill find our workshop extremely accessible with only a quick journey up the M80. You can simply leave your machine with us in the morning, then wait for our call when the servicing or repairs are completed and your equipment is set for collection.
Why Churchhill Customers Choose ILH Groundcare for Wood Chippers
Churchhill offers various chipper rental selections. National companies, local plant suppliers, and web-based booking services are all present in the area. What distinctively sets apart them is their reaction when assistance is needed.
When contacting a regular national hire desk, your call will be answered by someone who simply manages reservations. However, contact ILH and you’ll be connected with an expert who can clearly explain the real-world distinctions between 6-inch and 8-inch chippers, explain the advantages of using tracked equipment on particular Churchhill locations, and provide guidance on the most appropriate blade varieties for the specific timber you’re working with.
This specialist insight is irreplaceable when selecting the most suitable equipment for your project, and is rendered even more important when difficulties crop up on site and you require telephone guidance from someone with genuine understanding of the equipment in question. The wisdom of experience can turn a potentially catastrophic situation into a mere bump in your operation.
We offer wide-ranging services that go beyond hiring alone. Our operations cover sales, servicing, and supplying parts for identical machinery. This approach ensures that our rental fleet benefits from maintenance from experts who devote their careers to repairing and servicing chippers, instead of from generalist mechanics responsible for looking after mixed selections of tools and equipment.
Wood Chippers Churchhill FAQ
How much does it cost to hire a wood chipper in Churchhill?
Wondering about chipper rental rates in Churchhill? The rate can change depending on both the type of the chipper and your rental period! Commercial wood chippers usually cost around £120 to £180 for a single day rental, with more favourable pricing on offer when you hire for a week or longer. Want to know exactly what you’ll pay? Call us on 0141 775 9288 and we’ll supply a tailored quote reflecting your particular machinery requirements and rental timeframe!
Do you deliver chippers to Churchhill?
Our team supply machines for rental and purchase throughout Churchhill and surrounding regions, working from our Cumbernauld workshop. Delivery fees are provided separately to ensure absolute price transparency. As another option, you’re welcome to come to our workshop and collect the machine yourself if that best suits your needs.
Do I need a licence to tow a wood chipper?
The majority of 6-inch towable chippers maintain a weight less than 750kg, allowing you to transport them with just a standard Category B driving licence. If you move up to more substantial 8-inch models, you will often find the weight exceeds the 750kg threshold, requiring a B+E (trailer) licence for proper towing. It’s best to contact us when booking, as we can confirm the exact weight of the specific machine you require.
Can I hire a chipper with an operator?
We provide just the machine for your hire, not the staff to manage it, but rest assured! When we deliver the machine, we’ll offer a complete walkthrough of all the controls and provide continuous phone support throughout your hire period. Need someone to operate it? We can frequently point you towards local tree surgeons or contractors in your area who offer operated hire services!
