TP by Linddana was the first company in the world to launch a mobile electric wood chipper in 2019. TP 175 Mobil ZE is in demand by municipalities, rental companies and contractors looking for a green profile. In parallel with this, there has been demand and a desire for us to offer a bigger wood chipper for municipalities and contractors. etc. Linddana has therefore converted our existing TP 215 with its many features and the strong quality concept into one of the market's toughest electric chippers. TP 215 Mobil ZE is modular and is marketed both with and without a turntable, like our diesel version. Battery capacity is 44 KWh. The engine has three performance settings; and can deliver 25 KW in eco mode, 29 KW in standard and 33 KW in boost mode. The three capacity settings allow a lot of KW to be used when necessary, while also optimising battery run times. The battery is a Lithium ion battery and comes with a 5 guaranteed and 2500 charging. TP 215 ZE follow the concept from the 215 series and comes with a height-adjustable outlet pipe, is simple and efficient to operate with TP Pilot+ and offers, among other things, an auto-reverse function.

With a range of pack sizes and flexible delivery options available, aspen is ideal for use in all types of equipment, in all landscapes and for operations of all sizes. Businesses who may be on the fence about aspen Fuel have the opportunity to trial it risk-free with Aspen’s ‘Experience the Difference’ promotion – extended for visitors to The Arb Show. Subject to a bulk purchase, operators can use either aspen 2 or aspen 4 in their own working environments with the confidence that, if they don’t notice the significant improvements to sustainable working practices, they can return the unused fuel. In their new location this May, visitors to plot B14 can speak to the aspen technical team to find out more about the trial, along with participate in a new take on the ‘Aspen Challenge’ for your chance to win a fantastic prize each day.
