The wood splitting tongs to split thick trunks.
Key facts:
- Versatile mounting possibilities from the tractor to the excavator
- Sturdy, proven technology – low-service and low-wear
- Available in 5 machine sizes
- Endless turning rotator available as optional equipment
- Autospeed allows for a higher split capacity
- The rotator makes the splitting tongs flexible in application
- Patented roller system reduces the friction resistance and thereby minimises the force exerted
- The opening width does not determine the splittable diameter but only the largest end piece
- Easy supply of the pre-split material in chippers
- Pre-splitting wood allows a natural drying process and as a result an increase in biomass quality and energy yield
Application Areas
- Splitting thick wood trunks with minimal effort
- Can be used in all harvest and processing methods of strong wood
- Pre-splitting of wood allows a natural drying process
