SIP 7 TON Electric Log Splitter [01978]

The SIP 01978 is a high-capacity, heavy-duty vertical electric log splitter engineered for agricultural setups, smallholdings, and professional landscaping applications. Driven by a powerful 3kW motor, its advanced hydraulic piston ram generates 7 tons of continuous crushing force to split seasoned softwoods and dense hardwoods cleanly. Featuring an upright, space-saving vertical design, integrated handle guards, and robust transport wheels, this machine delivers commercial-grade output from a standard domestic power supply.

Key Features & Benefits

• 7-Ton Continuous Splitting Force: Powered by a high-torque hydraulic assembly operating at a peak pressure of 23.5MPa, allowing the wedge to drive effortlessly through heavy, knotty timber.
• Space-Saving Vertical Configuration: Built with an upright design that significantly reduces its operational footprint compared to horizontal models, making it ideal for compact workshops or busy wood yards.
• Substantial Log Capacity: Accommodates a wide range of timber sizes, accepting log diameters from 80mm to 300mm, and log lengths spanning 100mm up to 550mm.
• Operator Handle Guards: Designed with structural hand guards surrounding the control handles, physically shielding the operator's hands from the mechanical splitting zone during use.
• Dual Safety Features (Ram Lock & NVR Switch): Outfitted with a secure mechanical ram lock alongside a No-Volt Release (NVR) switch to ensure the motor cannot restart automatically following a sudden power interruption.
• Heavy-Duty Wheel Mobility: The vertical frame integrates two rugged solid wheels and a top positioning handle, allowing the 109.2kg machine to be tilted and maneuvered between storage and work areas.
• Standard 230V Electrical Supply: Runs on standard UK 13A mains electricity, offering high-tonnage performance without the fumes, noise, and complex maintenance associated with petrol-powered machinery.
• 2-Year Warranty: Backed by the standard SIP 2-Year Standard Silver Warranty for guaranteed trade reliability.
