We are always looking for new ways to create a better chipping experience and our goal is to produce products that help you to ‘HANSFORM’ your landscape like us – working faster, better, and safer than ever before.
Garden chippers are great for processing all your unwanted branch and organic material into mulch of a fine, even texture – ideal for composting or mulching. Useful all year round as you do your winter pruning, spring clean-up or trimming back in summer. A Hansa chipper will offer you a much faster , more efficient, and more user-friendly operation. The rotor design allows fibrous materials such as palm fronds to be processed, without running the risk of wrapping around a shaft. Recycle your waste and return it to your garden as rich organic fertiliser and retain moisture in the ground.
Owners of lifestyle and small holdings up to 20 Ha need chippers capable of handling larger capacities and volume. With a maximum capacity of 70-130mm the lifestyle range include road tow-able and tractor mounted options to suit a wide range of applications. If you want to keep on top of our lifestyle block efficiently but need to constantly process unwanted branches and garden material – Hansa’s range of chippers offer the perfect solution. A Hansa chipper will chip/shred any branches (green or dry), along with other general garden pruning’s such as hedge material, vines and flower stalks. With its efficient self-feeding action, the lifestyle chipper range are our most user-friendly chippers. Thanks to the higher outlet chutes mulch can be discharged directly onto a trailer, Ute eliminating the need for double handling.
