ARBMAX D45X 18-Inch Tracked Drum Chipper

Built Around Real-World Performance

The D45X tracked wood chipper has been engineered to handle substantial volumes of material with ease. Its 450 mm × 610 mm (18″ × 24″) infeed opening enables operators to process challenging material and larger grabs efficiently, reducing preparation time and increasing overall productivity.

Customers can choose between two power units:

• DEUTZ 170 kW (230 hp) for maximum performance, or

• CAT C3.6 100 kW (134 hp) for a fuel-efficient, lower-cost configuration.

This flexibility ensures that the D45X can be tailored precisely to the operational requirements of contractors across forestry, arboriculture and land-clearance sectors.

Designed for Challenging Terrain

Mobility is central to the D45X. Its heavy-duty 8,000 kg-rated tracked undercarriage provides excellent traction and stability on uneven or wet ground—conditions routinely encountered on many sites. High ground clearance and a compact footprint ensure the machine can navigate tight or heavily obstructed sites with confidence.

Transport Efficiency

The ARBMAX D45X is designed with transport efficiency in mind. Its compact footprint and operational weight of ranging from 4,600–5,400 kg make it significantly easier to move between sites than many machines of comparable capacity.  With a transport width of 2.14m, operators can transport the D45X in hook-lift containers or alongside their excavators. This streamlined transportability reduces the need for specialised haulage, shortens mobilisation times and lowers overall logistics costs. For operators working across multiple locations, the D45X helps keep projects moving efficiently—saving both time and money on every deployment.

Efficient Material Flow and Reduced Downtime

The D45X incorporates an optional full-length Hardox® infeed conveyor, vertical hydraulic side rollers and a robust drum design to ensure consistent, reliable feeding of even awkward or irregular material. This heavy-duty approach minimises downtime and reduces blockages, allowing operators to maintain a steady work pace.

With quick-access maintenance points, a radio-remote control system, and quick-change blade system, day-to-day operation is straightforward and efficient, reducing maintenance time and improving overall utilisation.

Productivity You Can Depend On

The D45X delivers the throughput, reliability and durability expected from a premium ARBMAX machine. Whether processing biomass, handling land-clearance projects, or managing large-scale forestry work, it is built to provide dependable performance hour after hour.

Its transport-friendly design—typically 4,600–5,400 kg depending on configuration—ensures it can be moved easily between sites, helping operators reduce logistics costs and keep projects moving.

Engineered for Professional Applications

The D45X is ideally suited to:

• Tree contractors requiring high-volume chipping capability.

• Land-clearance teams working on demanding terrain.

• Arborists needing a powerful yet compact tracked chipper.

• Hire fleets seeking a durable, versatile machine suitable for a wide range of heavy-duty tasks.
