Wood splitting tongs – Woodcracker L920

Engineering and Design: Low-Profile Ground Performance.
True to the “engineering for the woods” philosophy, the Woodcracker L920 features a flat design specifically developed to allow work extremely close to the ground. It is manufactured entirely from high-strength Hardox® steel, ensuring exceptional durability against severe mechanical wear. To combat harsh environments, the entire structure undergoes a KTL (cathodic dip-priming) treatment and anti-corrosive powder coating.

Performance and Feed: Power with Low Requirements.  
The L920 is notable for its low force requirement, allowing it to split even the thickest and most resilient logs using relatively small base machines. It incorporates premium pin bearings that ensure smooth operation and minimize service needs. Its proven technology enables fast work cycles, optimizing on-site profitability.

Biomass Quality and Versatility: Professional Multi-functionality.
Pre-splitting with the L920 enables a natural wood seasoning process, significantly increasing biomass quality and final energy yield. Thanks to its intelligent design, this attachment can also be used as a loading gripper, allowing the operator to split and load logs in a single operation without changing tools, resulting in unmatched operational cost savings.

Fleet Compatibility

This attachment is engineered to maximize the versatility of mid-sized carrier units.

• Base Machines: Excavators, forestry trailers, timber cranes, chippers, and farm loaders.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)  

1. Can the Woodcracker L920 load logs in addition to splitting them? Yes, the design allows the splitter to function as a loading gripper, facilitating splitting and loading in a single operation.

2. What maintenance does the pin system require? Minimal. By equipping premium pin bearings, friction and wear are drastically reduced, ensuring continuous operation with long service intervals.

3. How does pre-splitting influence biomass quality? Pre-splitting exposes the interior of the log to the air, facilitating a natural seasoning process that reduces moisture and increases the energy value of the resulting wood chips.  

4. Is it possible to install it on a forestry trailer? Absolutely. The L-series offers various mounting options, including semi-stationary versions ideal for forestry trailers, cranes, or chippers.

5. What materials are used in its manufacture? It is built entirely from high-strength Hardox® steel to withstand the most severe forestry conditions.
