ARBMAX D45X 18″ Drum Tracked Wood Chipper – High-Output 18″ Drum Chipper in a Compact Tracked Package

Big capacity, serious power, and tracked mobility.

The ARBMAX D45X 18″ Drum Tracked Wood Chipper is built for demanding forestry, land clearance and large-scale tree surgery where you need 18″ capacity and fast throughput in a compact tracked machine. With powerful diesel engine options, a large infeed and an aggressive drum system, the ARBMAX D45X 18″ Drum Tracked Wood Chipper delivers high-volume chipping without sacrificing access or control.

Powerful Diesel Options for Serious Work

At its heart, the ARBMAX D45X 18″ Drum Tracked Wood Chipper can be specified with either a 134hp diesel engine or an uprated 230hp unit. As a result, you can match the machine to your workload, from heavy arb jobs to full-scale biomass and clearance contracts.

Moreover, the high-torque output keeps the drum pulling strongly even when material is awkward, knotty or oversized. Therefore, the chipper continues working efficiently instead of constantly slowing or stalling under load.

18″ x 24″ Infeed and Aggressive Feed System

The chipper’s feed opening of 450mm x 610mm (18″ x 24″) and hopper opening of approx. 1425mm x 850mm give you generous room for big limbs, tangled brash and forked timber. Consequently, you spend less time snedding and more time actually chipping.

In addition, the ARBMAX D45X 18″ Drum Tracked Wood Chipper uses a powerful feed system driven by a large radial piston motor and aggressive feed wheels. These components provide strong pulling and crushing force, so timber is grabbed and drawn into the drum rather than needing manual encouragement. As a result, productivity increases and operator fatigue drops on long shifts.

Drum Rotor, Hardox Infeed and Quick-Change Knives

Inside the chamber, the ARBMAX D45X 18″ Drum Tracked Wood Chipper runs a 4-knife drum rotor with one anvil to produce consistent, controlled chip. Furthermore, the system is designed for quick-change blades, so you can swap knives rapidly and get back to work with minimal downtime.

The infeed section can be equipped with a Hardox® infeed conveyor and vertical side rollers. Because these parts are built from wear-resistant material, they cope better with abrasive, dirty or mixed material. In turn, this extends component life and helps keep chip quality stable over time.

High Throughput in a Compact, Transport-Friendly Machine

In the right conditions and with organised feeding, the ARBMAX D45X 18″ Drum Tracked Wood Chipper can achieve a throughput of around 70 cubic metres per hour. Even so, the machine remains compact and transport-conscious.

With a basic weight of around 4,600kg and an overall track width of roughly 2,140mm, it can be moved on suitable plant trailers or loaded into hook-lift containers, depending on specification and local rules. Therefore, you can bring serious chipping capacity to sites without needing overly large transport or multiple vehicle movements.

Tracked Undercarriage for Real-World Site Access

Because many jobs involve rough or soft ground, the ARBMAX D45X 18″ Drum Tracked Wood Chipper sits on heavy-duty rubber tracks rated up to 8,000kg. This undercarriage offers high ground clearance and a long track base, which together reduce ground pressure and improve stability.

Additionally, the wide stance and robust construction make access easier on banks, rides and uneven forestry tracks. As a result, the chipper can be positioned where it is actually needed, rather than being left at the nearest hard standing.

Remote Control and Simple Setup

To make operation smoother, the ARBMAX D45X 18″ Drum Tracked Wood Chipper is supplied with a multifunction radio remote as standard. With this remote, the operator can control tracking, machine setup and the feed system without standing at the side panel.

Furthermore, an intuitive control layout and clear status information help reduce training time and mistakes. Consequently, smaller teams can still run the D45X efficiently, because a single operator can reposition and control the machine while others focus on feeding or saw work.
