Buy forestry and woodworking machinery: chippers, sawmills and new equipment
Choose professional equipment for chipping branches, producing firewood, handling timber or sawing logs. Compare the actual material, cutting capacity, power system, safety, accessories and delivered cost before selecting new or used machinery.
Wood chipper, shredder, firewood processor or sawmill?
- Wood chippers: convert suitable branches and timber offcuts into wood chips; review intake diameter, feed method, engine and output chip size.
- Wood shredders: may process different garden or wood waste using distinct cutting mechanisms; verify accepted material and foreign-object restrictions.
- Firewood processors: cut and split logs to saleable lengths; compare maximum diameter, cut length, splitting force and operator protection.
- Log splitters: split pre-cut logs without sawing them into boards; compare splitting capacity and required log dimensions.
- Band sawmills: saw logs longitudinally into boards and beams; verify maximum log diameter, sawmill bed length, band blades and feeding method.
- Forestry harvesters and forwarders: work in tree harvesting and timber extraction; they perform different operations from a sawmill or wood chipper.

Compare cutting capacity, total bed length, machine dimensions, blade supply, engine or electrical power, accessories and transport conditions on the individual product pages. Prices and online stock indications must be confirmed for the chosen configuration and delivery postcode.
How to choose a wood chipper or shredder for your application
State the wood species, moisture, branch or log diameters, expected volume per hour and intended output. Chip size, dust levels, feed rollers and discharge direction affect suitability. A generic description such as “industrial shredder” does not establish the machine’s true capacity.
Availability of a Makitor-owned wood chipper is not confirmed in this guide. Ask for an actual model and written offer rather than assuming one is in the catalogue.
What to inspect when buying used forestry or woodworking machinery
- Exact manufacturer, model, year, serial number and documented operating hours.
- Blades, belts, bearings, shafts, hydraulics, drive systems and known repairs as appropriate.
- Included tooling, electrical panels, machine guards and emergency-stop function.
- Maintenance history, available technical documentation and replacement parts.
- Current photos and, where possible, a working demonstration or inspection.
- Weight, transport size, loading access and any special installation requirements.
Used wood chipper and sawmill prices: compare total purchase cost
Do not rely on generic historical price bands for forestry equipment. Compare machines of the same function and capacity, condition, year, accessories and documentation. Add taxes, inspection, loading, freight, unloading, installation, consumables and repair work. A used sawmill advertised at a low price may require new blades, guides or electrical work.
Choosing between new and used forestry machinery
New equipment may offer more predictable wear, current documentation and applicable warranty terms. Used equipment may reduce initial outlay if it is inspected and suitable for the intended operation. Ask suppliers about actual stock, after-sales support, spare parts and delivery instead of assuming these are always included.
Frequently asked questions
Can a band sawmill produce wood chips?
No. A sawmill cuts logs into boards and beams; a wood chipper uses a different process to reduce wood into chips.
Does a 400 V sawmill fit a single-phase workshop?
Not without confirming the electrical installation and manufacturer’s requirements. Select the correct voltage configuration before ordering.
Which specifications matter most for a portable sawmill?
Maximum log diameter, log length, saw bed, blade system, cutting accuracy, motor type, operator protection and transport weight.
Does a listed model include delivery?
Not automatically. Confirm freight, loading, unloading and setup costs for the specified machine and destination.
Request a forestry or woodworking machinery purchase quote
Provide the machine type, job, timber sizes or required throughput, available power supply, preferred accessories, budget and destination postcode. A quote can be assessed only after identifying a suitable real model.
