Within Wood Working, Log Splitter covers the hydraulic and electric-mechanical log splitters used in firewood production, smallholder timber processing, and the timber-clearing operations on construction and forestry sites — covering vertical-orientation splitters (where the log sits upright on a base plate and the wedge drives down or up), horizontal-orientation splitters (where the log sits on a horizontal beam and the wedge drives along), and the petrol-, electric-, and PTO-driven variants used across home, contractor, and commercial-scale operations.
Parts for Machines supplies log splitters across the trade and contractor ranges, with rated splitting tonnages typically running from 4-tonne (light home and smallholder use) up to 30-tonne and above (commercial firewood production and contractor timber-clearing).
Product pages list the splitting tonnage (the maximum hydraulic force the splitter applies — typical 4-7 tonne for home electric, 7-12 tonne for contractor-grade, 15-30 tonne for commercial), the power source (electric 230V single-phase, electric 415V three-phase, petrol engine, or PTO-driven from a tractor), the maximum log length (typical 370mm for compact splitters, 500-700mm for mid-range, 1,000mm+ for commercial), the orientation (vertical or horizontal), the cycle time (in seconds for full forward-and-return — typical 15-25 seconds), and the wedge specification (single-edge or 4-way splitting cross).
Log splitters are dangerous tools — never operate two-handed splitters single-handed, never reach near the wedge during operation, and always observe the manufacturer's safety guidance. Petrol log splitters are designed for outdoor use only — never operate the engine in an enclosed space. PTO-driven splitters require a tractor with a matching PTO speed and shaft fitment; check compatibility before ordering.
