Wood Chipper 4″ (Petrol)

The Bluebird SHL 1200 4” Wood Chipper, available from Total Hire and Sales, is a premium, heavy-duty machine designed for professional landscapers, contractors, and demanding site work. Combining powerful performance with ease of use and excellent mobility, it’s ideal for tackling large volumes of green waste quickly and efficiently.

At the heart of the machine is a robust Loncin V420F 15hp petrol engine, delivering consistent power and reliability. Featuring modern OHV technology, the engine is designed to optimise fuel efficiency, minimise emissions, and keep noise levels under control—making it both cost-effective and practical for regular use.

High Performance Chipping

The SHL 1200 uses a twin-blade drum cutting system, providing fast throughput and producing consistently sized woodchip. Capable of processing material up to 120mm (4″) in diameter, it makes light work of branches, hedge cuttings, and green waste.

It’s not just for timber either—this versatile machine will efficiently shred softer materials such as leaves and hedge trimmings into fine mulch, perfect for landscaping and ground cover.

Designed for Ease & Efficiency

  • Electric start for effortless ignition
  • Low oil alert system to protect the engine
  • Large 6.5L fuel tank for extended run time
  • Simple, operator-friendly controls

These features combine to reduce downtime and keep productivity high throughout the working day.

Easy to Transport On Site

Despite its heavy-duty build, the SHL 1200 is designed with mobility in mind. Fitted with wide-profile pneumatic tyres and a robust transport handle, it can be easily manoeuvred across site or loaded for transport.
