Schliesing wood chipper options : choose the right configuration for your job sites
A professional wood chipper needs to match the realities of the job — pruning, landscape maintenance, forestry work, roadside interventions, or difficult-access sites. With Schliesing, every option is designed to boost productivity, comfort, safety, or mobility.
Choosing the right options for your Schliesing wood chipper means getting a machine that's more efficient, more comfortable to operate, and better matched to the needs of arborists, landscapers, and green space professionals.
Why customize your Schliesing wood chipper with Options?
Schliesing options aren't just add-ons — they let you tailor the machine to your activity, usage frequency, travel needs, and site conditions.
A well-equipped chipper saves time, reduces physical strain, improves operator safety, and streamlines green waste processing. Depending on your needs, you can boost mobility, improve chip ejection, cut down on noise, or add extra protection for the machine itself.
Standard Schliesing features: built in on every machine
Power Control: Smoother, Smarter Feeding
Power Control automatically adjusts the chipper's feed rate based on engine load. When the machine is under heavy strain, the feed roller advance is regulated to protect engine performance.
Fitted as standard on every Schliesing machine, Power Control reduces jams, protects the engine, keeps throughput consistent, and improves working comfort — especially with leafy, dense, or irregular branches.
Safety Pusher: Guiding Branches Safely
The safety pusher helps guide branches toward the feed rollers while keeping hands well clear of the feed zone.
Also standard on every machine, it improves feed safety, helps guide smaller branches, reduces risky hand movements, and makes chipping soft or irregular plant material more comfortable. Also standard on every machine, it improves feed safety, helps guide smaller branches, reduces risky hand movements, and makes chipping soft or irregular plant material more comfortable.
13-Pin Spiral Cable: A Reliable Connection
The 13-pin spiral cable provides the electrical connection between the towing vehicle and the chipper, powering the lights required for safe road transport.
Standard on every model, its spiral design keeps the cable off the ground and out of the way during both driving and machine handling — making it far less likely to be lost, snagged, or damaged than a straight cable, and improving overall safety during transport.
Patented PowerGrip™ Infeed Roller: Easier Material Handling
The patented PowerGrip™ infeed roller is designed to grip and pull branches into the chipper smoothly, even when material is irregular, forked, or leafy.
Standard across the Schliesing range, PowerGrip™ improves ergonomics for the operator by reducing the manual effort needed to feed material into the machine, maintains a more consistent feed rate, minimizes jams, and makes the whole chipping process faster and less physically demanding.
Galvanized Components: Built to Withstand Time and Weather
Key structural elements — including the chassis, foldable hopper parts, and control button protections — are galvanized as standard on every Schliesing machine.
This galvanized finish protects against corrosion, resists the wear caused by prolonged outdoor exposure, and helps the machine hold up to harsh weather conditions over years of daily use, keeping the chipper reliable and looking better for longer.
Optional upgrades for even better performance of chipping
Whisper Cut™ and V-Blades: Less Noise, More Comfort
Whisper Cut™ technology also known as V-cut improves the overall comfort of operating the chipper. The V-blade design allows for a more progressive cut into the material, producing a smoother, more consistent result.
This option cuts noise levels, reduces jolts and vibration, lowers operator fatigue, and produces a more uniform wood chip. It also extends blade lifespan by at least 40% compared to standard cutting, and is especially useful for residential areas, parks, campsites, golf courses, and private estates.
Soundproofed Discharge Chute: Better Noise Control
The soundproofed discharge chute reduces the noise generated as wood chips are ejected — particularly noticeable when chipping dry or hard wood. It improves acoustic comfort on-site and helps crews work more comfortably in noise-sensitive environments.
Discharge Chute Options: Foldable, Extended, or Combined for Your Setup
The discharge chute is available in several configurations, so you can match it to exactly how and where you work.
The foldable chute reduces the chipper's footprint when not in use — ideal for professionals who move their machine between sites regularly, simplifying transport, easing storage, and protecting the chute during travel.
The chute can also be extended horizontally or vertically to give you more precise control over wood chip ejection — useful for directing chips into a skip, trailer, or a specific drop zone, improving aim, reducing spillage on the ground, and adapting to different trailer or bin heights.
These options can be combined to match your exact needs, giving you the best possible performance whether you're chipping on a tight urban site or loading directly into a high-sided trailer.
100 km/h Chassis Conversion: Greater Mobility
Depending on the model and local regulations, the 100 km/h chassis conversion speeds up road travel between job sites. It cuts down travel time, improves response time between jobs, streamlines multi-site scheduling, and makes long-distance transport of the chipper far easier.
Spare Wheel: Avoiding Unplanned Downtime
A simple but essential option for towed chippers. In the event of a flat tire, the spare wheel keeps the job moving instead of stalling the crew. It protects your schedule, reduces the risk of site delays, and minimizes downtime.
Hitch Lock: Protecting Your Investment
The hitch ball lock adds security when the chipper is parked on-site, at a depot, or in an equipment yard. It reduces the risk of theft, secures the machine during downtime, and protects a significant professional investment.
12V Yellow Beacon Light: Better Visibility
The 12V yellow beacon light signals the chipper's presence on job sites, roadsides, or high-traffic areas. It improves machine visibility, strengthens operator safety, and alerts people nearby to the work zone.
Height-Adjustable Drawbar: Simplified Hitching
The height-adjustable drawbar lets you set the hitch position to match the towing vehicle. It makes hitching easier, improves stability during transport, adapts to multiple vehicles, and saves time when switching between configurations.
Additional Hitch Fittings: More Versatility
Extra hitch balls or DIN couplings let the chipper be used with different towing configurations, adding versatility, flexibility, and better compatibility across your available vehicle fleet.
Custom Paint: Personalize Your Machine
Custom paint lets you match the chipper to your company colors and reinforce your visual brand identity on-site. It strengthens brand recognition, makes the machine easy to identify, and helps it blend seamlessly into the rest of your equipment fleet.
2-Tonne Electric Winch: Less Manual Handling
The 2-tonne electric winch, with a 15-metre cable, makes it easier to bring branches to the machine — particularly useful on difficult terrain, slopes, or in wooded areas. It reduces physical strain, cuts down on manual handling, saves time on complex sites, and improves productivity on tough terrain.
Transport Hooks: Moving the Machine Safely
The 4 x 2-tonne transport hooks make lifting, loading, or securing the chipper easier during transport. They improve handling safety, simplify loading onto a flatbed or truck, and streamline loading and unloading operations.
Battery Cut-Off Switch: Protecting the Machine
The battery cut-off switch electrically isolates the battery when the chipper isn't in use. It preserves battery charge, prevents residual power drain, secures maintenance work, and protects the machine during storage.
Flashing Beacon: Better Machine Signaling
The flashing beacon improves signaling while the chipper is operating, being transported, or parked in a high-traffic area. It boosts visibility, strengthens on-site safety, and clearly signals the machine's presence.
Lockable Fuel Cap: Securing Fuel Access
The lockable fuel cap protects fuel access when the machine is parked outdoors or left on-site. It reduces the risk of fuel theft, prevents unauthorized access, and protects the tank from contamination.
Foldable ROPS Safety Frame: Operator Protection on Tracked Wood Chippers
The foldable ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structure) safety frame is built for tracked wood chippers, reinforcing operator protection on uneven terrain, trails, embankments, or wooded areas. It protects the operator, improves safety on difficult ground, makes it easier to pass under low obstacles, and — thanks to its foldable design — simplifies transport.
