To resist humid environments, it features a KTL (cathodic dip-priming) treatment and powder coating, offering industrial-grade corrosion protection. Its premium pin bearings ensure smooth operation and a long service life with very low maintenance.<\/span><br \/><b><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">Performance and Feed: <\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">Westtech\u2019s Raw Power&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">The W1800 is the titan of the range, featuring a 1.8-meter opening capacity that allows it to engage and divide the most massive logs. It exerts a splitting force of 47 tons at 240 bar, which can be increased up to 300 bar depending on the carrier machine&#8217;s hydraulic settings. Its design enables a simple Plug-and-play connection, integrating seamlessly into the hydraulics of heavy-duty base machines to deliver powerful work cycles and unbeatable profitability on-site.<\/span><br \/><b><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">Biomass Quality and Versatility: <\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">Natural Energy Efficiency <\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">Using the W1800 enables a natural wood seasoning (drying) process; by splitting the logs, the inner surface is exposed to the air, drastically increasing biomass quality and its energy value. Thanks to its geometry and robustness, this tool is multi-functional: it can be used as a loading gripper to handle, organize, and supply heavy logs directly to chippers, eliminating downtime.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">Fleet Compatibility <\/span><br \/><\/b><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">This attachment is engineered to maximize the performance of heavy-duty carrier units.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-sheets-root=\"1\" style=\"font-size: 12px;font-family: Poppins, Arial\">Base Machine: Crawler excavators, wheeled excavators, and heavy-duty material handlers.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-sheets-root=\"1\" style=\"font-size: 12px;font-family: Poppins, Arial\">Carrier Weight: Recommended for vehicles between 25 and 35 tons.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\" style=\"font-size: 12px;font-family: Poppins, Arial\"><b>Hydraulic Requirements:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-sheets-root=\"1\" style=\"font-size: 12px;font-family: Poppins, Arial\">Recommended pump flow: 100 \u2013 190 l\/min.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-sheets-root=\"1\" style=\"font-size: 12px;font-family: Poppins, Arial\">Recommended operating pressure: 240 \u2013 300 bar.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-sheets-root=\"1\" style=\"font-size: 12px;font-family: Poppins, Arial\">Options: Available with a continuous (infinite) rotator for flexible application from any angle.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\" style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family: Poppins, Arial\"><b><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">Do you need a specific configuration? <\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">Contact us for a custom consultation to optimize your production.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<\/span><br \/><b><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">1. Can the W1800 split logs larger than 1.8 meters in diameter?<\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size: 12px\"> Yes. The 1,830 mm opening determines the size of the final split piece, but it does not limit the maximum log diameter. The tongs can attack thicker logs from the side or through successive passes until they are fully divided.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><br \/><b><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">2. How does using these heavy-duty tongs improve profitability?<\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size: 12px\"> By splitting the logs, the material seasons (dries) naturally, which raises its market value for biomass. Additionally, it greatly facilitates the feeding of chippers that otherwise could not process such massive logs.<\/span><br \/><b><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">3. What maintenance does a machine of this size require?<\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size: 12px\"> It is a low-maintenance machine. The use of Hardox\u00ae steel minimizes blade wear, and the premium pin bearings are designed for a long service life with standard periodic greasing.<\/span><br \/><b><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">4. Is it possible to load trucks with the W1800? <\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">Absolutely. The Woodcracker W1800 functions perfectly as a loading gripper, allowing the operator to handle and organize heavy logs with total safety and precision.<\/span><br \/><b><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">5. What are the advantages of the optional rotator?<\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size: 12px\"> The infinite rotator allows the operator to position the tongs at any angle, which is vital for engaging poorly stacked logs or working on uneven terrain with total flexibility.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\" style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family: Poppins, Arial\"><b>The Woodcracker W1800 is the ultimate splitting tool for processing large-diameter logs with minimal effort, designed for 25 to 35-ton excavators.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/><\/b>With a splitting force of 47 tons and a colossal 1,830 mm opening, this Hardox\u00ae steel attachment ensures efficient pre-processing that maximizes the energy yield of your biomass.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4026,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_joinchat":[]},"product_brand":[582],"product_cat":[57],"product_tag":[],"translation_priority":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-4029","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_brand-westtech-en","7":"product_cat-machine","8":"pa_marca-westtech","9":"pa_tipo-wood-splitter","11":"first","12":"instock","13":"taxable","14":"shipping-taxable","15":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/forestpioneer.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/4029","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/forestpioneer.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/forestpioneer.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forestpioneer.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4026"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/forestpioneer.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4029"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forestpioneer.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=4029"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forestpioneer.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=4029"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forestpioneer.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=4029"},{"taxonomy":"translation_priority","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forestpioneer.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/translation_priority?post=4029"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
