Scheppach HL460 230V 1500W 4-Ton Benchtop Horizontal Electric Log Splitter - Part Number: 429.5905209901
The Scheppach HL460 benchtop horizontal electric log splitter (part number 429.5905209901) is an indispensable, compact, and low-noise hydraulic tool engineered for effortless and rapid firewood preparation for fireplaces, wood stoves, and domestic ovens. Driven by an efficient 1500-watt (2.0 HP) single-phase 230 V motor running at 2850 RPM, it generates a steady 4 tons of hydraulic splitting force, accommodating logs up to 370 mm in length and 55 to 250 mm in diameter at an output of up to 100 logs per hour. Built to stringent European safety standards, it combines synchronized two-hand safety controls, a full-coverage protective steel enclosure cage, a side log support tray, and an automatic hydraulic return cylinder.
Key Features & Engineering Benefits
- Continuous 4-Ton Hydraulic Splitting Force: Reliable high-pressure closed circuit easily splits dry, seasoned, and green firewood blocks for home heating at speeds up to 100 pieces per hour.
- Energy-Efficient 1500 W (2.0 HP) Motor: 230 V single-phase electric drive (2850 RPM) delivers quiet, fume-free operation and low electrical consumption from standard domestic power sockets.
- Compact Benchtop Format (45 kg): Low-profile space-saving design allows convenient placement on workbenches, workshop tables, or utility surfaces with minimal storage footprint.
- Full Protective Wire-Mesh Enclosure: Heavy-gauge safety cage fully encloses the active splitting travel area, safely trapping deflected chips and bark in full compliance with modern safety directives.
- Two-Hand Safety Interlock: Requires simultaneous actuation of the hydraulic hand lever and electric push button, keeping hands safely away from moving mechanical parts during stroke advance.
- 290 mm Cylinder Stroke with Auto-Return: Perfectly dimensioned for stove-ready firewood up to 37 cm; releasing control levers automatically resets the hydraulic ram for fast cycle times.
- Rigid Powder-Coated Steel Frame: Heavy-gauge welded steel chassis finished with durable powder coating, supported by a side log shelf that catches split wood off the floor.

Operating & Maintenance Guidelines: Place the HL460 firmly on a level, solid workbench or floor surface before starting. Prior to operation, loosen the hydraulic reservoir breather screw by several turns to allow proper venting and prevent internal seal blowouts; retighten it securely before moving or transporting the machine. Check hydraulic fluid levels periodically. Always wear suitable personal protective equipment: safety glasses, cut-resistant gloves, and steel-toed footwear.
