Scheppach Compact 15t 400V Three-Phase 3500W 15-Ton Vertical Electric Log Splitter - Part Number: 429.5905422902

The Scheppach Compact 15t vertical three-phase electric log splitter (part number 429.5905422902) is a heavy-duty, GS-certified industrial-grade hydraulic machine engineered for intensive firewood processing across agricultural, forestry, and workshop applications. Driven by a powerful 3500 W 400 V three-phase electric motor running at 267 bar of hydraulic pressure, it delivers a massive continuous splitting force of 15 tons. Fitted with an extra-large 190 x 85 mm splitting wedge, it effortlessly tackles knotty, seasoned, dry, and green hardwoods and softwoods up to 1070 mm in length (meter-wood) and 120 to 450 mm in diameter. Featuring Scheppach's patented splitting technology with a swiveling dual-height table, integrated mechanical log lifter, and a retracted height of just 108 cm, it combines heavy tonnage power with superior ergonomics and compact storage.

Key Features & Engineering Benefits

• Continuous 15-Ton Hydraulic Power (267 bar): Heavy-duty industrial hydraulic system with a 7-liter oil reservoir driven by 400 V three-phase current; shears through dense, resinous, fibrous, or heavily knotted timber (oak, beech, ash, olive) without stalling.
• Patented Dual Working Height Technology: The only 15-ton class log splitter in Europe with an integrated swiveling table offering two distinct working heights: ground level on the baseplate for meter-long logs (up to 1070 mm), or on the elevated table for shorter logs to optimize cycle speed.
• Integrated Mechanical Log Lifter (Stammheber): Synchronized lifting arm linked to the splitting ram automatically raises heavy, thick logs up to 450 mm in diameter from the ground onto the baseplate, eliminating back-breaking manual lifting.
• Extra-Large 190 x 85 mm Forged Splitting Wedge: Heavy-duty wide-wedge profile forces wood fibers apart on first impact, preventing wedging and minimizing hydraulic cycle stress.
• Infinitely Adjustable Vario Stroke System: Allows precise limitation of the cylinder return travel (550 mm max stroke) to match shorter log batches, eliminating idle strokes and maximizing output.
• Ultra-Compact Low-Profile Storage (108 cm): When fully retracted, the machine height drops to just 1080 mm, allowing convenient off-season storage under shelving, workbenches, or in low-ceiling garages.
• GS-Certified Two-Hand Safety Controls: Synchronized dual control levers with bilateral holding claws firmly grip logs on both sides, ensuring hands remain completely outside the pinch zone.
• Anti-Tilt Heavy Steel Chassis on 3 Transport Wheels: Heavy-gauge torsion-free welded steel frame (185.5 kg net weight) with low center of gravity, supported by 3 large wheels for stable yard positioning and transit.

Technical Specifications

Standard Equipment & Safety Features

Standard Equipment	Operational Benefit
Mechanical Log Lifter (Stammheber)	Lifts heavy logs up to Ø 450 mm from the ground onto the splitting baseplate without manual back strain
Integrated Swivel / Tilt Table	Provides two convenient working heights for meter-long wood (floor base) and shorter firewood (elevated table)
Two-Hand Safety Levers with Bilateral Claws	Securely holds logs during splitting while isolating operator hands from hydraulic pinch points
Vario Stroke Return Limiter	Continuous return stop adjustment eliminates idle travel when working on shorter log lengths
3 Heavy-Duty Transport Wheels	Three-point wheel chassis enables balanced maneuvering and tilt-and-roll positioning of the 185.5 kg unit

Operating Guidelines, 400V Three-Phase Connection & Maintenance:

• 400V Three-Phase Mains Connection: Requires a CEE 400 V three-phase industrial electrical supply. Upon initial startup, confirm the correct motor rotation direction; if running in reverse, switch two phases using the integrated phase inverter in the plug.
• Hydraulic Bleed Screw: Always loosen the hydraulic reservoir vent screw by several turns before operation to allow air breathing and avoid seal damage from overpressure; retighten it securely prior to transporting or tilting the unit.
• Stability & PPE: Always operate the machine on a level, solid, and dry floor. Certified PPE is mandatory: safety boots with steel toes, heavy cut-resistant work gloves, and protective eye goggles or a face shield.
