Shipping
Our horizontal splitters can ship on a pallet, or via partial flatbed / hotshot trucking. If you have a freight terminal near you we can arrange freight to that location. Or, if a semi truck can get to your address, we can arrange a shipment with liftgate service. You could also pick up your new machine from the closest Wolfe Ridge dealer. Check out our dealer locator.
Please note:
- If you have a machine shipped via partial flatbed or hotshot, you will need a piece of equipment for unloading. Such as a forklift, tractor or skid steer with pallet forks and sufficient lifting capacity.
- If you have your machine shipped LTL on a pallet, we can also offer optional liftgate service. Your new machine would get unloaded at the end of your driveway closest to the road – provided a semi truck can get to your address.

Super fast and fun to run. It surprised me how much power it has splitting knotty Hickory. I like how it’s not to big to push around to the log piles.
