VORTEX V18-32 Wood Chipper
The VORTEX V18-32 is a serious 18" commercial wood chipper built for crews who live in high-volume, high-demand work, such as forestry, land clearing, and storm cleanup. A wide 18" x 32" intake, high-velocity throwing disc, and the patented Anti-Clog Vortex Chamber work together to keep material flowing, chips moving, and downtime to a minimum.
With a heavy 12,000 lb Torflex axle, large 32" x 18" throat opening, and dedicated diesel power up to 173 HP, the V18-32 delivers class-leading chipping capacity at 13–46% more throughput than many comparable 18"–19" machines, while staying towable and manageable on real-world jobsites.
Under the skin, the V18-32 is all about efficient, reliable performance for professional operators. The VORTEX system separates cutting and throwing so the 30" x 30.5" pocketless drum can focus on pure chipping torque while the 52.6" impeller handles discharge, helping the engine recover faster and reducing plug-ups, even in heavy, green, or fibrous material.
A single 24" x 31" reverse-pivot feed wheel climbs onto limbs and logs, compressing bulky material and naturally pushing it into the drum, so there’s less trimming, fewer hang-ups, and more steady production hour after hour.
Options available can include a hydraulic winch, bump bar tailgate, Brush Buddy pusher, infeed curtain, or spare tire kit so you can outfit the V18 -32 for your exact workflow.
The V18-32 wood chipper showcases heavy-duty construction, smart engineering, and is backed up by a 3 Year / 3000 Hour Limited Warranty, making it a dependable and durable diesel-powered solution for contractors who need a machine that simply gets more done.
