Dual Lift Cylinders provide crushing power when necessary and allow easy access to the anvil. Mounting these dual lift cylinders low on the sides allows for a full 360 discharge chute rotation.


16" Diameter Top Feed Roller aggressively pulls in the material to be chipped. This extra large diameter feed roller climbs over material easily, pulling it into the chipper with no assistance.


Hydraulic Control Valves are mounted in a heavy duty enclosure to protect them from damage.


Digitally Controlled Reversing Autofeed Plus monitors engine rpm and adjusts the feed automatically. This system has the ability to start, stop, and reverse the feed of material into the chipper based on
parameters set by the operator.


Super High-Torque Feed Motors provide the most infeed power of any 18" capacity chipper.



Precision Ground High Speed Balanced Chipping Disk. Carlton’s chipper disks are perfectly round (no flat spots like competitive chippers) they are also high speed balanced – this combination provides for an extremely smooth chipping action that prolongs bearing and machine life.


Two 9000 Pound Capacity Dexter Axles with electric brakes on both axles make the 2018HD tow great while minimizing tire wear.


Kevlar Construction Belts carry more horsepower with less stretch, lowering maintenance costs and prolonging belt life.
