About Self-Propelled Wood Chippers

In contrast to towable wood chippers, self-propelled wood chippers are truck- or crawler-mounted machines designed to cut and shred tree branches, limbs, and reasonable-sized trunks into mulch or wood chips. Usually the portion of the machine dedicated to processing wood consists of a large wide chute where the operator inserts raw tree parts, located on the top or side of the machine, and a smaller chute or conveyor belt that dispenses the mulched material.

These machines are typically powered by diesel engines, come in a variety of sizes and capabilities, and can be found everywhere from small landscaping operations to massive lumber-processing mills.

Types Of Self-Propelled Wood Chippers

For the most part, self-propelled wood chippers are built on crawler chassis that enable operators to maneuver them through rough terrain and heavily wooded areas with ease. Some are built on commercial truck chassis, with air-filled tires, but they’re generally limited to working in and around urban and residential areas. Self-propelled wood chippers usually feature a crane component that is capable of lifting timber and brush into the machine’s main hopper.
