Which Wood Chipper Size Do You Need?
This enquiry is at the top of our frequently asked list, with the reply differing based on the type of material and your day-to-day processing rate.
6-inch wood chippers in Newlands
A six-inch chipper deals with branches with diameters measuring 150mm (6 inches), encompassing the vast majority of domestic garden upkeep, hedge removal operations, and smaller-scale arboricultural tasks. The towable 6-inch types from Forst are space-saving machines able to pass through conventional garden entrances whilst being appropriate for towing with a transit van or pick-up vehicle.
For gardeners mainly dealing with home gardens, hedge maintenance and taking out smaller trees, a 6-inch chipper offers sufficient power without the added burdensome weight and expense associated with larger equipment.
6-inch models have a weight under 750kg, making possible towing with a normal driving licence without requiring B+E towing qualifications. This is noteworthy if your team has operators who do not have this additional licence category.
8-inch wood chippers in Newlands
An 8-inch chipper processes branches up to 200mm (8 inches) diameter more quickly due to its larger feed chute and more powerful engine. Forst’s 8-inch models are available in both towable and tracked versions, engineered for tree care professionals, major clearance work, and demanding shifts where non-stop chipping run from dawn until dusk.
Wow, is it really not amazing how much time is saved when you are processing larger branches? With an 8-inch machine, you can throw everything in whole instead of repeatedly cross-cutting to fit a 6-inch throat! On those busy days, all that saved cross-cutting time builds up tremendously. Of course, there’s a balance to keep in mind – most 8-inch machines are heavier (typically requiring a B+E licence for towing) and they are pricier to hire or buy. But for high-output teams, the significant boost in productivity makes the investment worthwhile over time!
Towable vs Tracked Wood Chippers
Mobile chippers are positioned upon a highway-compliant chassis, permitting them to be hauled behind your vehicle directly to your work location. These provide the optimal selection for most tasks, as you simply travel to the site, detach the chipper, and begin your chipping operation. Tracked chippers, conversely, are self-driven units specifically engineered for locations where towable machinery cannot access areas near where the work needs to be performed.
Tracked-type machinery proves time and cost-efficient in handling challenging terrains. The chipper can be transported directly to the timber on steep inclines, ground that is not firm, forested areas without vehicle access, or sites demanding considerable manual transport from the nearest solid surface. This avoids the manual alternative of dragging wood to the machine.
The Forst Wood Chipper Range
We provide the entire extensive Forst line-up, including mobile, tracked, PTO plus space-saving models ready to order with both petrol and diesel engines. Produced and engineered within the UK, Forst chippers incorporate the proprietary ForstGrip feed rollers and AutoIntelligence feed control systems as default features throughout the full selection. All new machinery is backed by a full three-year warranty.
The collection commences with smaller 6-inch versions for clients with limited finances or smaller jobs, progresses through the standard towable selection in both petrol and diesel options, and expands to eight-inch tracked units for professional contractors. Tractor-mounted PTO versions are also available for those preferring an attachment rather than a separate machine. When buying your initial chipper, we will discuss your usual workflow, the timber dimensions you are handling, and your frequency of usage. Since we offer the full range of models from the Forst lineup, we have no reason to steer you towards a higher priced or bigger machine than what you really require.
We regularly offer pre-owned chippers in our inventory as they become available, including Forst and different other manufacturers. Each second-hand machine receives a thorough inspection in our workshop prior to sale, and we provide a honest evaluation of its state, operating hours, and remaining service life. For those new to operators or those watching expenditure, a quality used chipper that has been reconditioned and inspected by our technical specialists can represent a cost-effective investment to begin operations without bearing the full expense of a new machine.
The ARB Max Wood Chipper Range
Together with Forst, we act as an official Arbmax dealer. Located in Northern Ireland, Arbmax builds four chipper models specifically designed for professionals requiring greater capacity than conventional arborist equipment, and at the same time maintaining a towing weight below 3.5 tonnes. This permits operators to avoid the restrictions of requiring an HGV licence for transportation.
As your task load goes beyond the limits of lesser 6-inch or 8-inch arb chippers, Arbmax presents itself as the ideal upgrade, providing substantial capacity spanning 12 and 18 inches. Forestry professionals, biomass operations, and local councils dealing with storm debris all find that this increased capability provides valuable returns through substantial time savings whilst carrying out tasks on site.

Hire or Buy a Wood Chipper in Newlands?
Perhaps you’re feeling unsure about investing in a wood chipper? The question between hiring or purchasing really relies on how often you’ll require it and if your garden tasks make ownership justified. You might realise hiring suits you better for occasional jobs, while purchasing could be the best solution for ongoing use. Consider your long-term plans before settling on an option!
Our hire range of equipment features 6-inch and 8-inch Forst chippers offered as both towable and tracked variants. Each machine undergoes a full check in our workshop between rentals, guaranteeing keen blades, correctly set feed roller settings, and engines that fire up instantly. We provide daily, weekly, and extended rental periods with improved rates for long-term hires.
Across Newlands, we provide both collection and delivery services, or you can collect from our Cumbernauld location. Tree surgeons rotating equipment, landscapers working on clearance projects, or council grounds maintenance teams demanding additional equipment will take advantage of specialist hire. By opting for our specialised service, you’re guaranteed the perfect chipper for your particular task, rather than settling for whatever generic equipment happens to be available at a regular hire yard.
For specialists involved in chipping operations day in, day out, acquiring equipment is the most logical selection. In particular for professionals operating in Newlands, this translates to your dealer is your dealer only fifteen minutes away instead of being located at the opposite extremity of the nation.

Should your chipper require servicing or repairs, you simply transport it to our Cumbernauld workshop and get it once the necessary work has been completed.
Wood Chipper Servicing and Parts in Newlands
Impressive, isn’t it! From routine servicing to blade sharpening, hydraulic repairs, electrical troubleshooting and complete rebuilds, our Cumbernauld workshop services chippers from all major brands. Own Forst, Timberwolf, GreenMech, Jensen or TP machines? That’s fantastic! Whatever chipper you operate, we have the knowledge to keep it in tip-top condition. Our specialist team is familiar with these machines completely, ensuring your equipment gets the care it needs!
Blades and anvils become worn faster than other components. Using a chipper with dull blades not only reduces efficiency but also puts more pressure on the engine, hydraulic feed system and flywheel, ultimately shortening the lifespan of other machine parts. Our workshop carries authentic Forst spare parts, including blades, anvils, feed roller components, belts, filters and regularly replaced wear items. The majority of these parts can be collected on the same day from our location, or we offer next-day delivery throughout the UK.
For Newlands, our centre of operations is only simply a quick journey along the M80 motorway. You may bring your goods in the morning, and we shall telephone you upon finishing of the task.
Why Newlands Customers Choose ILH Groundcare for Wood Chippers
Newlands features a variety of venues where one can get a chipper for hire. The area is well covered by UK-wide rental chains, general equipment suppliers, and several internet reservation services. What truly separates these options is the level of assistance available when problems arise.

Phone ILH, however, and you’ll engage with a skilled professional who can explain the differences between 6-inch and 8-inch chippers, explain why tracked equipment is advantageous on various Newlands locations, and provide guidance on appropriate blade selections for the particular timber you are handling.
That professional knowledge proves essential when selecting suitable equipment for your job, and becomes even more significant when problems emerge on site and you require telephone assistance from someone with real understanding of the machine’s operation.
Our offering reaches further than just hire. We retail, look after and provide parts for these matching machines. This guarantees our hire fleet get maintenance from experienced specialists who fix chippers to a high standard, rather than standard mechanics looking after different tools and plant equipment.
Wood Chippers Newlands FAQ
How much does it cost to hire a wood chipper in Newlands?

Commercial wood chippers for hire in Newlands generally are available from between £120 and £180 per day, with more favourable rates available for weekly or extended hire bookings. For a personalised estimate according to your specific equipment needs and rental duration, please contact 0141 775 9288.
Do you deliver chippers to Newlands?
Our on-site workshop acts as the central hub for all machine hire and sales services throughout Newlands and its vicinity. We provide itemised delivery quotations as separate line items, ensuring you have full cost visibility before making a decision. On the other hand, should you wish to transport the equipment yourself, we offer the option to collect directly from our premises and tow the machine yourself.
Do I need a licence to tow a wood chipper?
The majority of 6-inch towable chippers are under 750kg, enabling you to tow them with a standard Category B driving licence. On the other hand, the larger 8-inch models generally weigh more than 750kg, meaning you need a B+E (trailer) licence. During your booking process, we will check the exact weight of the chosen machine for your confirmation.
Can I hire a chipper with an operator?
We provide the machine alone, not operators, though we thoroughly demonstrate the controls at handover and offer continuous telephone assistance for the duration of your rental period. Should you require an operator, we can occasionally recommend local tree surgeons or contractors in your area who offer operated hire services.
