Log splitter Scheppach Compact 15T 400V — 15 ton splitting force

Electric log splitter Scheppach Compact 15T 400V delivers a rated splitting force of 15 tons in a vertically oriented, compact design. Intended for processing firewood and timber, this model connects to a 400V three‑phase supply and occupies a small footprint suited to garages, workshops and small outdoor storage areas. The unit aims to reduce manual effort and increase throughput compared with manual splitting, while offering a stable working position and integrated safety features typical for Scheppach machinery.

Advantages

The Scheppach Compact 15T 400V combines a high splitting force with a compact chassis that eases storage and handling. Electric 400V drive provides steady, reliable power for continuous work cycles and reduced maintenance compared with combustion alternatives. Vertical operation keeps logs stable during splitting and reduces the need for repositioning. The design emphasizes operator safety and consistent splitting results for a wide range of hardwoods and softwoods.

Suitable for

• Homeowners preparing firewood for domestic heating
• Small professional workshops or cottages needing regular log processing
• Gardeners and property managers maintaining fuelwood stocks
• Users replacing manual splitting to reduce physical strain and increase productivity

Key specifications

• Splitting force: 15 tons
• Operation mode: vertical splitting
• Power supply: 400V three‑phase electric
• Suitable material: firewood and timber (hardwood and softwood)
• Compact footprint designed for garage or workshop use

How to use

Place the log splitter on a level, stable surface and connect it to a compliant 400V three‑phase electrical supply by a qualified electrician. Position logs vertically on the cradle against the splitting wedge, observe safe distance for hands and body, and operate the control lever to initiate the splitting stroke. Allow the cycle to complete before removing split pieces and repositioning the next log. Follow the manufacturer's safety instructions and maintenance intervals for hydraulic fluid and mechanical inspection.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriately sized logs for the rated 15 ton force; oversized or irregularly shaped timber may require pre‑cutting to avoid jamming. Wear PPE including safety glasses and gloves, and keep bystanders clear. For sustained or heavy use, monitor hydraulic fluid level and cooling intervals to maintain performance and extend service life.
