The splitting power of a Log Splitter

One of the main points of difference between log splitters is their splitting power. This is the power of the log splitter and is stated in tons (t). The splitting power of the various splitters ranges from 4 t, e.g. for splitting firewood, to as much as 40 t for professional use of the equipment. The amount of splitting power required by the splitting machine depends on:

• The type of wood to be split
• The length of the wood
• The cross-section of the logs
• The moisture of the wood

Which Splitter is right for you?

If you are a private individual and want to split wood for a wood-burning stove or fireplace, if you value the convenience of a wood splitter and mainly work with soft wood, then a splitting power of 5 to 6 tons is sufficient. However, if the harder woods such as beech and oak are to be split, then you should choose a machine with a splitting power of 7.5 to 9 t. In addition, we have various splitters for professional work in our range included. These heavier splitters are always delivered on a pallet.
