Which Wood Chipper Size Do You Need?
A enquiry we receive with greatest frequency relates to which machine to choose, with our suggestion subject to adjustment in relation to the particular materials being handled and your regular processing volume requirements.
6-inch wood chippers in Middleton Park
Incredible! These remarkable 6-inch chippers can tackle branches measuring up to 150mm (6 inches) across – perfect for nearly all your domestic gardening needs, hedge trimming jobs and smaller tree maintenance jobs! Forst’s top-notch 6-inch towable designs are highly compact units that effortlessly slip through normal garden entrances and can be easily pulled behind your transit van or pickup truck. How great is that for getting those garden clearance jobs finished?
If your main operations involve domestic garden maintenance, hedge trimming, and light tree extractions, a 6-inch chipper will reliably meet these requirements without adding the additional weight burden and financial outlay linked to larger equipment.
6-inch models are under 750kg, allowing towing with a regular driving licence without requiring B+E towing qualifications. This is important if your team comprises operators who are without this additional licence category.
8-inch wood chippers in Middleton Park
An 8-inch chipper effectively handles branches up to 200 mm (8 inches) in diameter and works more rapidly thanks to its larger throat opening and robust engine. Forst’s 8-inch models, offered in both towable and tracked versions, are specifically designed for professional arborists, large-scale clearance projects, and demanding workdays where non-stop chipping is required from dawn until dusk.
Gosh, is it not astonishing how much time you can save when you are processing larger 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 really accumulates impressively. Of course, there’s a balance to think about – most 8-inch machines are bulkier (typically requiring a B+E licence for towing) and they come at a higher price to hire or buy. But for high-output teams, the significant boost in productivity actually pays for itself in the long run!
Towable vs Tracked Wood Chippers
Trailer-mounted chippers are fitted on roadworthy chassis units and can be towed behind your vehicle straight to the worksite. They offer the ideal option for the bulk of tasks, as you simply travel to the location, disconnect the chipper, and commence operations. Tracked chippers, on the other hand, are self-propelled units designed specifically for locations where access constraints hinder positioning a towed machine in proximity to the work area.
Difficult landscapes like sharp inclines, uneven terrain, heavily wooded areas lacking direct road access, and locations where timber must be transported from distant accessible surfaces are all instances where tracked machinery proves both time-saving and cost-effective, as the chipper moves straight to the wood instead of needing you to transport materials to the equipment.
The Forst Wood Chipper Range
Our company provides an extensive range of Forst equipment, such as towable, tracked, PTO, and compact models equipped with petrol or diesel engines. Forst chippers are distinctively designed and manufactured in the United Kingdom, boasting the innovative ForstGrip feed rollers and AutoIntelligence feed control systems as standard specifications throughout the collection. Each new unit is supplied with a comprehensive three-year warranty.
This selection begins with compact 6-inch machines for clients with restricted resources or less demanding job requirements, continues through the core towable series in gasoline and diesel versions, and extends to 8-inch tracked units for professional contractors. PTO models are also offered for users wanting tractor-mounted chippers rather than independent equipment. For first-time purchasers, we’ll discuss your typical workload, timber dimensions you’re handling, and how often of machine usage. As stockists of the complete Forst catalogue, we have no motivation to push a costlier or costlier model than needed for your requirements.
At Middleton Park, we keep an selection of second-hand chippers as they become available, featuring Forst and additional manufacturers. Each pre-owned unit undergoes thorough inspection in our workshop before delivery, and we provide a open evaluation of its state, operational hours, and expected service longevity. For newcomers to the industry or those on a budget, a well-maintained pre-owned chipper that has been serviced and checked by our technical specialists often represents a wise financial approach to commence operations without the outlay required for new equipment.
The ARB Max Wood Chipper Range
Our company operate as an official Arbmax reseller in association with Forst. Arbmax, a Northern Ireland producer, engineers four chipper models specifically for professionals needing increased capacity than standard arb equipment while ensuring a towing weight under 3.5 tonnes. This means operators to bypass the requirement for an HGV licence.
To those advancing beyond a 6 inch or eight-inch arb chipper because of growing material requirements, Arbmax serves as the sensible progression, boasting capacities covering from 12 to 18 inches. Forestry contractors, biomass operators and councils responsible for storm clearance will find that this increased capacity results in considerable returns through reduced on-site operational time.
