Two-way splitting — unique in the industry. Split in both directions without repositioning the log, still a rarity among excavator-mounted splitters.

Questions answered

Frequently asked questions

The wood splitter is designed for forestry use, for the longitudinal splitting of logs, mounted on an excavator's hydraulic arm.

Before use, carefully read the operating instructions, check that the hydraulic connections are sealed, and make sure the splitter is correctly mounted on the excavator.

No. Using the splitter for purposes outside forestry counts as misuse and can cause damage for which the manufacturer is not liable.

Using non-original parts is not recommended, as they may not meet the standards set by the manufacturer and can affect safety and the warranty.

Repairs and maintenance of the splitter should be carried out exclusively by qualified personnel, using original equipment and replacement parts recommended by the manufacturer.

Unauthorized modification of the splitter can void the manufacturer's warranty and cause damage for which the user alone is responsible.
