Trailers for tough tasks
Masterton's Daytech Engineering has developed a loyal following for its products – particularly its flat-deck trailers.
Hefty splitters – vertical or horizontal – from Daytech Engineering, Masterton, lean towards the breeze outcome.
At the heart of the machine a double-skinned main beam ensures strength and durability, while the business-end brandishes a unique, fabricated, dish-shaped splitting wedge with a sharpened BIS alloy leading edge.
The wedge also uses extra thick wear strips and bears down on a 50mm thick anvil for fast, jam-free splitting
Mounted on an integral chassis and running 12 inch wheel equipment mounted on 1500kg rated hubs, the units are easy to tow and position for splitting, the drawbar including a jockey wheel set-up.
The standard hydraulics are powered by a quality 9hp 4-stroke engine driving a two stage Barnes hydraulic pump for fast cycling. The pump acts on a 4 x 24 inch hydraulic cylinder to drive the wedge.
An oversize hydraulic reservoir and large bore hydraulic pipework combine to keep temperatures under control, and integral filtration protects all hydraulic components.
