Trailer mounted chipper

[AMPTreeSurgery]

Hi guys, looking to mount a wood chipper to a tipping trailer. The chipper will be mounted at the front so I can tip off the chip after. Has anyone got some photos of ones they have made/used.

 

Thanks in advance.

Most people will tell you to much tow bar weight, so it will have to be a light weight chipper you use. did see a old entec chipper on the front of a ifor williams years ago. 

Common setup in the states just look on Youtube

Coletti on here used to have an M500 on the front of a trailer, he was looking to move on the chipper recently as well.

A few folk have tried it but it is too complicated and in the end, the best way is tipper truck and tow behind. It may be possible with a small thing like our CS100, but even then, the infeed becomes too high! A machine with rollers will be, again, rather high. But also, the nose weight of the trailer would bedroom heavy empty unless you have a sliding bogey axle! I haven't seen such a tipping trailer. Then, as you load, the axle will have to moved progressively further back, so very complicated.

As mentioned very tricky to do without some clever engineering. 

 

I guess if you have a flat bed truck you could mount the chipper in the back of it, feed from the left hand side and blow the chip back into your trailer. It would be hard to have the chipper low enough still. A Quad Chip with its under chassis removed and bolted through your floor would be pretty cool as you would still have the turn table! 

 

Still, a tipper truck and trailed chipper is best, unless there’s a reason to why you need a tipper trailer on site?

Seem to remember a good while ago someone posted a picture on Arbtalk of a set up in Germany I think, a VW transporter van with a turntable chipper mounted to the flatbed and a tipper trailer behind? Like you say is a complicated alternative to chipper towed behind tipper

If you had a huge amount of work where you didn’t collect the chip you could make a pretty awesome mounted chipper setup, self contained with no towing.

Have all ways thought mount one on rear of trailer with side tip body at front only problem you would only be able to fill trailer and not truck aswell something like this.

I'd be tempted with this if I was quite a bit taller

I assumed you meant agri trailer? Cant see it working on a 3.5t trailer, too much going on - weight in the wrong place and so on.

Ive seen some american ones but these obviously have higher tow weights.
