Wood Chippers Newtown

Which Wood Chipper Size Do You Need?

This particular query tops our top list, with the reply varying depending on the material in question and your throughput each day.

6-inch wood chippers in Newtown

Fantastic! These outstanding 6-inch chippers can deal with branches measuring up to 150mm (6 inches) across – just right for nearly all your garden needs, hedge trimming sessions and small-scale tree maintenance jobs! Forst’s top-notch 6-inch towable designs are surprisingly compact units that readily slip through standard garden entrances and can be easily pulled behind your transit van or pickup truck. Isn’t that brilliant for taking care of those garden clearance jobs done?

For individuals tending gardens mainly working with residential gardens, clipping hedges and eliminating small trees, a 6-inch chipper adequately handles the workload without the added bulk and expense that comes with larger equipment.

The 6-inch variants feature a mass less than 750kg, permitting users to transport them with an ordinary driving licence, eliminating the requirement for B+E towing credentials. This factor becomes highly relevant when your team features people who have not acquired the additional licence classification.

8-inch wood chippers in Newtown

Want a machine that chews through branches as thick as 200mm (8 inches)? The 8-inch chipper gets through material faster thanks to its wider throat opening and higher powered engine. Want serious kit? Forst’s 8-inch range is available in both towable and tracked versions, specifically designed for professional arborists, major clearance jobs, and those long graft days when you’re feeding the beast from sunrise to sunset. Ideal for when you’ve got mountains of woody waste to process!

For teams frequently dealing with large branches to manage a 6-inch capacity, an 8-inch chipper provides notable efficiency as entire sections can be processed without additional cutting. During large-scale operations, the cumulative time previously spent on cross-cutting stands as a major operational advantage. One must balance this benefit against the increased mass (most 8-inch units need a B+E licence for towing) and greater financial investment for rental or acquisition; nevertheless, busy arboricultural teams generally find the enhanced productivity validates the additional expenditure through measurable returns.

Towable vs Tracked Wood Chippers

Towable chippers mounted on roadworthy chassis can be towed by your vehicle to the site. These represent the best choice for most jobs as you simply travel to location, unhitch, and begin chipping. Crawler chippers, being motorised units, are specifically engineered for sites where towed equipment cannot reach the immediate work area.

Difficult environments like steep inclines, shifting terrain, forested areas where no roads reach, and sites where timber must be carried from far-off solid ground are all situations where tracked machinery is efficient in terms of time and cost, as the chipper travels directly to the wood instead of having to move materials to the equipment.

The Forst Wood Chipper Range

We offer all models in the Forst lineup, including trailer-mounted, tracked, PTO and compact versions offered with gasoline or diesel engines. Forst chippers are proudly engineered and manufactured right here in the UK, boasting their innovative ForstGrip feed rollers and AutoIntelligence feed control technology as standard equipment throughout the collection. Interested in a new machine? They all come with a comprehensive 3-year warranty!

The line-up begins with compact 6-inch options for users with limited budgets or lower work requirements, moves through the principal towable series in gasoline and diesel types, and finishes to 8-inch tracked units for commercial contractors. PTO models are also available for users preferring tractor-mounted chippers in place of independent equipment. For new purchasers, we’ll go over your usual workload, timber dimensions you’re handling, and how often of machine usage. As stockists of the complete Forst range, we have no motivation to recommend a bigger or costlier model than needed for your requirements.

Our team at Newtown stock pre-owned chippers whenever possible, including Forst and other brands. Each used machine is subject to workshop inspection before delivery, with a truthful report on condition, usage hours as well as remaining operational lifespan. For operators just beginning or those with limited budgets, a quality used chipper that our technicians have serviced and approved offers an cost-effective pathway to get started without new machine expenses.

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 perfectly suit operators requiring enhanced capacity exceeding standard arborist machinery all the while maintaining a towing weight under 3.5 tonnes, consequently negating the necessity for an HGV licence.

For stepping beyond a 6-inch or 8 inch arb chipper when handling bigger materials, Arbmax typically represents the natural progression, offering capacities from twelve to eighteen inches. Forestry contractors, biomass operations and councils managing storm clearance will see that the enhanced capacity provides substantial returns with reduced on-site processing time.

How brilliant is that?

In case chipping makes up a core part of your routine operations, purchasing is the best option. For operators located in Newtown, this means your dealer is just a quarter of an hour away rather than situated at the opposite end of the country.

Wood Chipper Servicing and Parts in Newtown

Our Cumbernauld workshop provides all-encompassing maintenance solutions, including regular upkeep, blade sharpening, hydraulic system repairs, electrical fault troubleshooting, and complete rebuilds for wood chippers from all leading brands. We offer specialised servicing and repair solutions for Forst, Timberwolf, GreenMech, Jensen, and TP chippers, making sure whatever brand you own, we can deliver skilled professional maintenance to the finest standards.

Cutting blades and anvils undergo the most significant deterioration. Operating a chipper with worn blades extends beyond merely reducing efficiency; it imposes additional strain on the engine, hydraulic feed mechanisms, and the flywheel, thereby diminishing the operational lifespan of all other machine components. Our workshop keeps an inventory of authentic Forst replacement parts, including blades, anvils, feed roller elements, belts, filters, and commonly worn components. The majority of these parts can be obtained on the same day or dispatched throughout the UK by the following day.

For Newtown customers, the workshop is conveniently available via a short journey up the M80. Just leave your machine with us in the morning, and we will telephone you once the repair work is carried out.

Why Newtown Customers Choose ILH Groundcare for Wood Chippers

Newtown supplies several solutions for chipper rentals. National rental chains, regional plant hire firms, and diverse online booking services all are available within the region. What truly differentiates providers apart, however, is the quality of support available when you face difficulties.

Get in touch with a central hire desk and you’ll get through to someone who merely handles reservations. Call ILH and you’ll consult with an knowledgeable person who can explain the important distinctions between 6-inch and 8-inch chippers, clarify why tracked machinery is beneficial for particular Newtown locations, and recommend appropriate blade types for your lumber handling requirements.

This expert know-how truly matters when determining kit for your undertaking! And guess what? It becomes absolutely crucial when issues arise on site and you need to get in touch with someone who actually knows how your equipment works. Having technical support who actually understands what you’re dealing with can be a game-changer, right?

We offer a complete solution in addition to only hiring equipment. Our solutions encompass selling machines, servicing them through professional servicing, and offering replacement parts – all for the identical equipment models we hire out. This comprehensive approach means our hire fleet benefits from maintenance from expert technicians who repair and service chippers as their main occupation, instead of from general mechanics responsible for maintaining wide-ranging tools and equipment inventories.
