Specialist machine for specialist jobs
This specialist, tracked chipper, like the road-tow QuadChip 160D, is designed specifically for roadside and highway maintenance contractors. As the entire chipper unit can swivel 270 degrees on the chassis, operators can position the in-feed chute away from the roadside, so improving road and operator safety. This is a hungry machine, powered by the 25hp Kubota diesel engine and has the additional feature of being able to tilt the track underbelly to make it more usable when working on banks, side-lands and cuttings up to 30 degrees. It also comes with its own integrated trailer for safe and simple loading and it’s possible to use the machine whilst still mounted on the trailer.
The backbone of the QuadTrak 160D design is based on a deep beam, high tensile steel chassis which creates tremendous strength and ensures a robust performance. A generous in-feed hopper, measuring 800mm x 700mm (31inch x 27inch), means that free-flow of bulky material can be handled without having to trim to a more manageable size. As the material passes through 160mm x 230mm twin, vertical feed rollers, the electronically controlled ‘No-Stress’ feed system varies the speed of throughput to ensure maximum chipping efficiency.
