What is a hydraulic wood chipper?

A hydraulic wood splitter is a device that uses a hydraulic system to drive the cleaver, creating the powerful force needed to split wood. There are different models of wood splitters: stationary and mobile, with gasoline, diesel or electric engines, as well as with different harvesting positions (horizontal, vertical or adjustable) and with knives of different shapes.

The main advantage of hydraulic wood splitters over mechanical ones is that the hydraulic system allows you to create much more force for splitting wood, which makes them more productive, especially when processing hard woods. This makes them an ideal choice for professional use where high performance is important.

Hydraulic wood chippers are used for harvesting firewood both for personal use and for commercial purposes. They provide high performance and can work for a long time without stops and overheating. Household models are suitable for home use, allowing you to save on the purchase of firewood, while professional devices are designed for commercial processing of large volumes of wood.

When choosing a hydraulic wood splitter, it is important to consider the type of engine (electric, gasoline or diesel) and splitting force. Electric models are suitable for domestic use, while gasoline and diesel models are more often used in industrial settings. The splitting force determines the productivity of the device: 6 tons is usually enough for domestic needs, and more than 10 tons for industrial ones.
