Scheppach Compact 10T 400V — 10 ton hydraulic log splitter is a stationary, electrically powered wood splitter designed to apply a consistent 10-ton splitting force for processing medium to large logs into firewood. Built for use with a 400 V supply, the unit features a vertical splitting configuration and a hydraulic system that delivers controlled, repeatable strokes. The design focuses on reducing manual effort and improving safety compared with manual splitting methods, making it suitable for garden tasks and small professional settings.

Advantages

The Scheppach Compact 10T 400V provides steady hydraulic force that ensures even splitting performance across a variety of hardwoods and softwoods. Its electric 400 V drive offers continuous operation without the need for fuel, enabling quieter and cleaner use. The compact footprint and vertical orientation make it practical to position in workshops or on paved outdoor areas, while the hydraulic control gives precise movement and reduces the physical exertion required from the operator.

Suitable for

• Splitting firewood for domestic heating
• Preparing logs for small-scale commercial or farm use
• Garden and property maintenance tasks involving wood processing
• Users seeking a safer alternative to manual axe splitting

Key specifications

• Splitting force: 10 tonnes
• Power supply: 400 V electric connection
• Operation type: hydraulic vertical log splitter
• Intended log size: suitable for medium to large diameter logs (refer to user manual for exact limits)
• Construction: steel frame with hydraulic ram and splitting wedge

How to use

Position the splitter on a level, stable surface and connect to a compatible 400 V power supply according to local electrical regulations. Secure the log upright on the splitter’s cradle, ensuring it is stable and centered beneath the splitting wedge. Activate the hydraulic cycle using the control lever or switch; the ram will advance and apply the 10-ton force to split the log. After splitting, retract the ram, remove split pieces, and repeat the process. Always consult the supplied user manual for specific setup, safe connection, and maintenance instructions before first use.

Usage recommendations

Use personal protective equipment such as safety goggles, gloves, and steel-toe footwear. Only operate the splitter on logs free of large embedded metal, dirt, or excessive knots to avoid damage. Follow service intervals recommended by the manufacturer and ensure electrical installation is performed by a qualified electrician for 400 V operation.
