JANSEN® SHS-20L55T Laminated Wood Splitter – 20 t splitting force, PTO drive & log lifter

The JANSEN® SHS-20L55T Laminated Wood Splitter is a powerful machine designed for the efficient processing of large quantities of firewood. With a splitting force of 20 metric tons, a maximum splitting length of 48 cm, and the standard log lifter, the SHS-20L55T offers a well-designed solution for demanding users in agriculture and forestry, as well as for anyone who regularly processes large quantities of firewood.

The machine’s design is optimized for an efficient workflow in firewood production. The wood is processed at a comfortable working height, while the integrated log lifter significantly simplifies the feeding and positioning of heavy logs.

Power is supplied via the 540 rpm PTO shaft of a suitable tractor or utility vehicle. As a result, the log splitter does not require its own internal combustion engine and utilizes the existing drive power of the carrier vehicle.

20 metric tons of splitting force for demanding woodworking tasks

With a splitting force of up to 20 metric tons, the JANSEN® SHS-20L55T has plenty of power for demanding splitting tasks.

The solid construction and high curb weight of approx. 587 kg underscore the machine’s robust design. Combined with a maximum splitting length of 48 cm, this laminated wood splitter is ideal for traditional firewood processing.

Especially when processing large quantities of wood on a regular basis, the combination of high splitting force and a well-designed machine structure offers a significant advantage in the workflow.

Standard log lifter for more comfortable work

Repeatedly lifting heavy pieces of wood can quickly become physically strenuous during firewood processing. That’s why the JANSEN® SHS-20L55T comes standard with a log lifter.

This makes it easier to move the wood to be processed into the splitter’s working area. This reduces the manual effort required for feeding and supports a smooth workflow.

The log lifter is a particularly practical aid, especially when working with larger or heavier pieces of wood.

PTO drive at 540 rpm

The JANSEN® SHS-20L55T is driven via the PTO shaft of a suitable tractor or farm vehicle. The required PTO speed is 540 rpm.

This eliminates the need for a separate gasoline or electric motor on the log splitter. The PTO drive offers a practical power solution, especially for agricultural and forestry users who already have a suitable tractor.

Please note: The PTO shaft is not included in the scope of delivery. However, a compatible PTO shaft is available as an option from us.

Designed for larger quantities of firewood

Those who regularly process large quantities of firewood need not only sufficient splitting force but, above all, a workflow that is as smooth as possible.

The SHS-20L55T combines 20 metric tons of splitting force, a maximum splitting length of 48 cm, and an integrated log lifter with a robust machine construction.

This makes the machine suitable for both demanding private users with high firewood needs and for applications in agriculture and forestry.
