Wood chippers with gasoline engine

A gasoline-powered wood chipper is a machine designed for shredding cut branches, twigs, and small trees. It operates using its own engine and does not require connection to a PTO or electrical grid, making it easy to use anywhere — in gardens, parks, public areas, and forest belts. On the ARPAL website, you can buy a gasoline wood chipper at a competitive price.

Advantages of ARPAL gasoline wood chippers

The main advantage of such machines is their high power compared to manual tools. The equipment is capable of processing large volumes of raw material per hour. Other benefits include:

• mobility — easy to transport to the work site
• wide range — models available with different power, productivity, weight, and price
• long service life when used properly
• ability to operate in hard-to-reach locations

A gasoline wood chipper is an optimal solution for processing large volumes of branches and wood waste. These machines are effective both for residential use and for professional applications in landscaping and forestry operations.

Main characteristics to consider

ARPAL gasoline chippers are equipped with 4-stroke engines. The engine drives a rotating disc or blade where branches are fed for shredding. The feeding system can be manual or automatic. Key characteristics include:

1. Engine power — from 7 HP. The higher the power, the greater the load the machine can handle over time. Engines up to 10 HP are suitable for light workloads. 10–12 HP is optimal for landscaping applications. Above 12 HP is intended for professional use.
2. Maximum branch diameter — from 20 to 150 mm. Small models handle 20–50 mm branches, universal models process 60–100 mm, and professional machines can handle up to 150 mm.
3. Productivity — from 7 to 14 m³ per hour (1000–7000 kg/h). It depends on engine power, feed speed, and blade quality. This is a key parameter for high workloads.
4. Fuel tank capacity — up to 12 liters. Determines operating time without refueling. Optimal range is 2–5 liters, while 10+ liters is suitable for long continuous work.
5. Machine weight — from 90 to 1480 kg. Heavier machines are less mobile. Lightweight models are easy to move on wheels, while heavier ones require transport.

Vibration and noise levels are also important for operator comfort. Modern models feature effective vibration damping and sound insulation.

Additional features

Modern gasoline wood chippers can be equipped with:

1. Rotating platform — allows sorting branches during processing
2. Protective curtain in the hopper — improves operator safety
3. Conveyor system — directs processed material to a designated location

Other important features include:

1. Protective housing for blades — fully covers rotating cutting elements and protects the operator
2. Emergency stop switch — instantly shuts down the engine in case of danger
3. Inertia brake — stops blade rotation after shutdown, reducing injury risk
4. Vibration damping system — reduces impact on operator during long operation
5. Frame or wheels — simplify transportation

The presence of a conveyor is especially important. It ensures automatic feeding of branches into the cutting system, improving productivity and safety by eliminating manual feeding.

Selection tips

Gasoline wood chippers are divided into several categories depending on purpose and performance. When choosing, consider the expected workload. For small gardens with thin branches, a compact model is sufficient. For regular pruning of large trees, a high-power professional model is recommended. It is important to determine the required parameters in advance, including weight, power, and optimal balance between price and performance. Reviewing user feedback can also help in making the right choice.

Price of gasoline wood chippers

The price depends on engine power, maximum branch diameter, design features, and configuration. High-performance models with reinforced components cost more but ensure stable operation without overloads.
