If you're a fan of finest top quality German engineering, but don't wish to spend excessively to benefit from it, then the highly-versatile Al-Ko LHS5500 could well be log-splitter for you. Its versatility is down to its adjustable base plate, which can be set to any of three-stages, depending on the size of the log to be split, in turn reducing energy consumption & saving you a significant amount of time. The three settings are for maximum log-lengths of 570; 810; & 1050mm. The Al-Ko LHS5500 Electric Powered Hydraulic Log-Splitter has been fitted with a beefy 3000w motor that offers the sort of powerful performance you'd expect from a petrol engine, but with none of the associated headaches (maintenance, starting, etc). It develops a massive 5.5-tonne splitting-force, so all manner of wood types can be split with no fuss; & it's equipped with four tubular base supports for rock-solid stability during operation. This model's all-steel construction confers outstanding strength & durability, with Al-Ko offering a two-year manufacturer's warranty.
