"28 Ton" refers to the maximum splitting force produced by the hydraulic ram (about 28 tonnes of force). Higher tonnage allows the machine to split larger, denser hardwoods more easily. Actual performance also depends on log size, grain, moisture content and the type of wedge used.
This splitter is available in electric, gasoline and diesel configurations. Electric models are quieter, low-maintenance and ideal for residential use where mains power is available. Gasoline and diesel units offer greater portability and are better for remote or commercial forestry work. Choose based on where you will operate, fuel availability, and duty cycle (continuous heavy use favors gasoline/diesel).
Dimensions vary by model and configuration (listed ranges: 1030 x 290 x 560 mm up to 2800 x 1720 x 1650 mm). Weight is approximately 50 kg for the compact models; larger or trailer-mounted versions will weigh more. Check the specific model sheet for exact size and shipping weight.
Cycle time is the time it takes the ram to complete one extend-and-retract splitting cycle. The listed figures represent different model/power combinations — faster cycle times (e.g., 2s) give quicker throughput for smaller logs, while slower times apply to heavier-duty or larger-stroke units.
The product range covers models from 8 tonnes up to 30 tonnes. The "28 Ton" model is one specific configuration within that range, offering near-top-end splitting force. Confirm the exact model when ordering to ensure you receive the 28T variant if that is your requirement.
Working pressure is adjustable via the machine's pressure regulator or relief valve. To split harder or thicker wood you may increase pressure (within safe rated limits); for softer wood reduce pressure. Always consult the operator manual for the correct adjustment procedure and safe pressure settings for your model.
A 28-ton splitter can handle a wide range of logs including large hardwoods. Maximum effective log diameter depends on model stroke length and wedge design—very large or knotty logs may require multiple passes or pre-cutting. Wet or frozen wood may be harder to split and could require higher pressure or a different wedge.
Yes — many models offer adjustable splitting length either by adjustable log stops, different ram stroke options or by choosing variants with longer beds. Confirm the available stroke length and adjustable features for the specific model you plan to buy.
Wear appropriate PPE (safety glasses, gloves, steel-toe boots). Operate on level ground, keep bystanders away, never place hands near the wedge or between the ram and log, secure logs before splitting, don't oversize logs beyond the machine's capacity, and follow lockout procedures before maintenance. Read and follow the supplied operator manual.
Regular maintenance typically includes checking and changing hydraulic oil and filters as recommended, inspecting hoses and seals for leaks, tightening fasteners, sharpening or replacing wedges as needed, greasing pivot points, and maintaining the engine (if gasoline/diesel). Follow the maintenance schedule in the manual for intervals and fluid specifications.
Some configurations include tires (spec options list 6/8/12 inch or vacuum tires). Towability depends on the exact model and whether it includes a trailer hitch or tow bar. Check the specific model description and local towing regulations before transporting on public roads.
Common accessories include different types of wedges (2-way, 4-way), log cradles, stands, towing hitches, and spare hydraulic components. Replacement parts such as seals, hoses, valves, and wedges are usually available — contact the seller or manufacturer with the model/serial number to order parts.
Yes. The 28-ton model is suitable for commercial use such as lumber yards and forestry operations, especially when configured with a gasoline/diesel power unit and appropriate cycle time for high throughput. Evaluate duty cycle and cooling/maintenance needs for continuous operation.
Warranty terms and technical support vary by seller and region. Check the seller's product listing or contact the supplier for specific warranty coverage, warranty period, return policies and availability of local service or spare parts.
