Compact Shredder

Recommended Posts

I've been approached for a couple of jobs now where to access the work site (domestic gardens), the only route is through the house (centre terrace).

 

Is there a decent shredder on the market that will fit through your average front door without taking too much of the paint work off? Doesn't need to be massively meaty.

 

Any ideas?

The Eliet major goes round corners too. I took it up two steps, through the front door, half left into the kitchen, half right and down a step onto the terrace, down ramps onto the garden.

Fairly straightforward really but the machine is good for the situation.

 

As for its capability... before and after pics.

From memory - that job was ~3 years ago - it was dealing OK with stems 1-1¼" thick but they were lightweight wood like Philadelphus and Buddleia. If you needed to deal with any amount of tree timber that thickness you'd want a chipper.

When you say 'shredder ", do you need a shredder or a chipper? One can handle a certain amount of dirty stuff without too much grief while the other is far more efficient with clean material, produces an aestheticaly pleasing product and there are some impressive posts on other threads here.

 

Check the Wee Chipper Club, for a start.
