Which Wood Chipper Size Do You Need?
Such an enquiry appears with greater frequency than any question, with our guidance differing depending on the particular material that is chipped and your daily processing volume. Like a river that changes course depending on the landscape, our advice varies depending on what exactly you’re chipping and the volume you manage within a twenty-four hour period.
6-inch wood chippers in Danderhall
A six-inch chipper chips branches up to 6 inches in diameter, ideal for most domestic gardens, hedge clearances and small-scale arboricultural tasks. The Forst six-inch towable units are small machines which go through standard garden gates and designed to be towed by transit vans or pickups.
Is it not it brilliant? For those of you mainly handling domestic gardens, hedge trimming jobs and small tree removals, a six-inch chipper will deal with everything easily! You will sidestep the excess weight and expense of bigger machines while still finishing all your work with no trouble. Why spend more when you do not require it?
At a weight of less than 750kg, the 6-inch models can be moved with only a standard driving licence – no B+E towing qualification needed! This is especially handy if some drivers in your team are missing that extra licence category. How simple is that?
8-inch wood chippers in Danderhall
Created for professional arborists, Forst’s 8-inch chippers quickly chip branches up to 200mm (8 inches) in diameter, ensuring improved productivity as a result of their generous throat aperture and high-capacity engine capacity. Supplied in both towable and tracked variants, these powerful machines excel in professional tree surgery applications, major clearance projects, and tough scenarios where continuous chipping operations are required for the entire working day.
Gosh, is it not impressive how much time you can save when you are processing heavier branches? With an 8-inch machine, you can put everything in whole instead of repeatedly cross-cutting to fit a 6-inch throat! On those intense days, all that saved cross-cutting time quickly adds up. Of course, there’s a balance to consider – most 8-inch machines are bulkier (typically requiring a B+E licence for towing) and they are pricier to hire or buy. But for hard-working teams, the fantastic boost in productivity quickly covers the extra expense!
Towable vs Tracked Wood Chippers
Towable chippers mounted on highway-approved chassis can be transported by your vehicle to the job site. These represent the ideal choice for most jobs as you simply arrive at location, detach, and begin chipping. Crawler chippers, being motorised units, are specifically constructed for locations where towed equipment cannot access the immediate work area.
Complex gradients, uneven terrain, forested areas lacking vehicle access, and situations where timber requires extensive manual moving from accessible surfaces all form scenarios in which tracked equipment substantially decreases 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 comprehensive Forst range encompasses towable, tracked, PTO, and compact models offered in both petrol and diesel variants. Precisely crafted on British soil, every Forst chipper is fitted with the innovative ForstGrip feed rollers and advanced AutoIntelligence feed control as standard across the lineup. Each new machine arrives with the reassurance of a comprehensive three-year warranty.
The selection commences with compact 6-inch machines for individuals with limited budgets or lighter application requirements, moves through the main towable series in gasoline and diesel options, and extends to 8-inch tracked units for experienced contractors. PTO models are also offered for users who prefer tractor-mounted chippers in place of independent equipment. For new purchasers, we’ll go over your usual workload, timber specifications you’re handling, and frequency of machine usage. As dealers of the complete Forst range, we have no motivation to suggest a costlier or higher-priced model than required for your requirements.
We frequently offer used chippers in our inventory when available, including Forst and multiple other manufacturers. Each pre-owned machine receives a comprehensive inspection in our workshop before sale, and we offer a clear evaluation of its state, runtime, and remaining service expectancy. For first-time operators or those conscious of expenditure, a quality used chipper that has been properly maintained and inspected by our technical specialists can represent a prudent investment to start operations without facing the full expense of a new machine.
The ARB Max Wood Chipper Range
In addition to Forst, we serve as an official Arbmax dealer. Based in Northern Ireland, Arbmax produces four chipper models specially crafted for professionals requiring greater capacity than typical arborist equipment, and at the same time maintaining a towing weight under 3.5 tonnes. This enables operators to eliminate the restrictions of needing an HGV licence for transportation.
For those moving beyond a six-inch or eight-inch arb chipper as a result of expanding material requirements, Arbmax serves as the obvious progression, delivering capacities ranging from 12 to 18 inches. Forestry contractors, biomass operators and councils managing storm clearance will find that this greater capacity yields notable returns through reduced on-site operational time.

Hire or Buy a Wood Chipper in Danderhall?
Are you feeling unsure about investing in a wood chipper? The option between borrowing or owning really depends on how often you’ll need it and if your gardening jobs make buying worthwhile. You might realise hiring is more practical for occasional jobs, while buying could be brilliant for regular use. Think about your ongoing needs before deciding!
Looking to grabbing a chipper for your next project? Our amazing hire fleet offers both 6-inch and 8-inch Forst chippers, available in towable and tracked models. Between each rental, all equipment undergoes a thorough check in our workshop—that means razor-sharp blades, perfectly adjusted feed roller settings, and engines that burst to life on the first try. After it for a day, a week, or even longer? You’ll find fantastic daily and weekly rates, with even better prices when you book for extended periods. Get in touch for more details!
Collection and pickup throughout Danderhall is offered, or alternatively you can pick up from Cumbernauld. For tree surgeons changing machinery, landscapers undertaking clearance projects, or local authority grounds crews in need of more resources, choosing a specialist hire service guarantees the right chipper for your particular task as opposed to simply using whatever equipment is available in a standard hire depot.
If chipping is a major part of your day-to-day operations, owning is the more logical option. For operators located in Danderhall, this means your dealer is just a quarter of an hour away instead of being situated at the far end of the country. Warranty support, maintenance services, replacement parts as well as professional guidance are all offered locally. Should your chipper needs servicing, you can straightforwardly deliver it to our Cumbernauld workshop and pick up it once the work has been finished.
Wood Chipper Servicing and Parts in Danderhall
Our Cumbernauld workshop offers extensive maintenance covering regular servicing, blade sharpening, hydraulic repairs, electrical diagnostics, and complete rebuilds for chippers from all leading manufacturers. We have the skills to maintain and repair Forst, Timberwolf, GreenMech, Jensen, and TP chippers, so your equipment is properly maintained regardless of brand.
Cutting edges and anvils deteriorate quickly. Using a chipper with dull blades decreases efficiency and puts additional strain on the engine, hydraulic feed system and flywheel, thereby reducing the lifespan of all other machine components. Our workshop stocks authentic Forst spare parts including blades, anvils, feed roller components, belts, filters and standard wear items. The majority of parts can be picked up same-day or dispatched next-day throughout the UK.
For Danderhall, our workshop requires merely a quick journey along the M80 motorway. You may bring your items in the morning, and we shall telephone you upon finishing of the work.
Why Danderhall Customers Choose ILH Groundcare for Wood Chippers
Danderhall provides a wide range of options for chipper rentals. You’ll find national hire chains, plant equipment firms and a selection of online booking platforms throughout the area. What really makes them stand out? It’s ultimately about the support you are provided with when issues arise or you seek guidance!
Dial a standard national hire desk and you are linked to someone who just books you in. Ring ILH instead, and you get to talk with someone who can describe the key differences between a 6-inch and 8-inch chipper, clarify why tracked equipment can be preferable on particular Danderhall sites, and offer guidance regarding the most ideal blade varieties for the exact timber you’re handling.
That expert insight proves indispensable when identifying the right equipment for your assignment, and becomes even more crucial when issues arise on site and you seek telephone assistance from someone with true understanding of the machine’s operation.
We deliver comprehensive services stretching beyond hiring alone. Our activities cover sales, servicing, and provision parts for identical machinery. This structure guarantees that our hire fleet receives maintenance from specialists who dedicate their careers to servicing and repairing chippers, instead of from generalist mechanics responsible for maintaining diverse collections of tools and equipment.
