Log Splitters


Scheppach log splitters make splitting firewood quicker, easier, and safer —whether you're preparing logs for a wood burner or handling large volumes for forestry or agricultural work. Built for performance and durability, our wood splitters are ideal for both DIY users and professionals.  

With a range that includes both horizontal and vertical log splitters, there's a machine to suit every task. Horizontal splitters are compact and user-friendly — great for smaller logs and occasional use at home. Vertical splitters deliver higher splitting force and are perfect for longer logs or heavy-duty workloads. 

As reliable machines to cut wood, all Scheppach log splitters are designed with safety in mind, featuring two-handed operation and robust steel frames, stable bases, and high-quality components that ensure long-lasting performance. Whether you're working in the garden or out in the yard, you'll find the right wood cutter for efficient, stress-free log splitting. 

Horizontal log splitters vs Vertical Log splitters? 

In short, the main difference between horizontal and vertical log splitters lies in how and where they’re used. Horizontal log splitters are best suited to domestic jobs, offering lower splitting force but running easily on standard 230V power — ideal for home users. Vertical log splitters, on the other hand, are built for more demanding tasks and are better suited to professional or high-volume use, often requiring a stronger power supply. 

While both types offer similar splitting speeds, each has its strengths depending on the workload. Both versions are equipped with transport wheels, making them easy to move and position as needed.
