About Towable Wood Chippers

Pull-behind wood chippers are machines designed to cut and shred tree branches, limbs, and reasonable-sized trunks into mulch or wood chips. In order to move between job sites, these types of machines are often built onto a single-axle chassis with a hitch for pulling behind a truck, tractor, or other vehicle.

Towable Wood Chipper Features

Common features include a large, wide chute where the operator inserts the 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. Self-propelled wood chippers, by contrast, are machines mounted on a truck or crawler chassis that are designed to cut and shred trees and brush.

Types Of Towable Wood Chippers

Pull-behind wood chippers tend to be ideally suited for smaller jobs like landscaping or storm cleanup. Most feature a trailer chassis and hitch that lets the operator tow the machine. Stationary wood chippers can be mounted to any relatively flat surface or installed in the bed of a pickup or flatbed truck. Chipper attachments also sometimes fall into this category; they rely on the drive shaft of a tractor, for instance, to operate. The larger units tend to be fixtures at industrial lumber mills, mounted to platforms in an area dedicated to processing wood chips. Some large chippers feature a crane component for lifting pieces of wood into the machine’s input hopper.
