SIP 5 TON Electric Log Splitter [01976]

The SIP 01976 is a heavy-duty, horizontal electric log splitter engineered for domestic use, smallholder management, and trade landscaping applications. Powered by a high-torque 2.2kW motor, the integrated hydraulic piston ram generates 5 tons of continuous crushing force to cleanly split seasoned softwoods and dense hardwoods. Enclosed within a full steel safety cage and designed for standard mains power hookup, this compact machine delivers an efficient, low-fatigue alternative to manual axe splitting.

Key Features & Benefits

• 5-Ton Continuous Splitting Force: Driven by a reliable hydraulic assembly operating at a peak pressure of 20.6MPa, effortlessly shearing through tough logs and knotty wood chunks.
• Full-Enclosure Safety Cage: Built with a high-quality steel wire safety cage that completely surrounds the horizontal splitting mechanism, protecting the operator from flying wood debris and restricting access during operation.
• Substantial Log Capacity: Accommodates a wide range of timber sizes, accepting log diameters from 50mm to 250mm, and log lengths spanning 200mm up to 520mm.
• Automatic Wedge Return System: The splitting wedge automatically resets to its home position immediately after a cycle is complete, eliminating manual reset steps and maximizing workflow efficiency.
• No-Volt Release (NVR) Switch: Outfitted with an integrated NVR safety switch to prevent the motor from automatically restarting in the event of a sudden power interruption or mains disconnect.
• Highly Mobile Framework: Designed with a compact horizontal profile, two solid rear wheels, a stable front support foot, and an integrated pull handle for straightforward transport across lawns and garden paths.
• Standard 230V Electrical Supply: Plugs directly into standard UK 13A domestic mains sockets, offering clean, fume-free indoor or outdoor operation without the maintenance demands of petrol engines.
• 2-Year Warranty: Backed by the standard SIP 2-Year Standard Silver Warranty for guaranteed manufacturing peace of mind.
