As part of an exclusive
deal with Henton & Chattell, Hansa Chippers are now available in the UK for
the first time.
Established in the
1980s, Hansa specialises in the design and manufacture of high-quality brush
chipping and shredding equipment.
The family run company,
based in New Zealand, has a strong heritage combined with constant evolution
and innovation - taking on customer feedback when designing new products so
that each generation adds something new.
Hansa prides itself on
the ethos of “providing the best chipping experience”. Whether being used in a
garden at home, by a landscaper, professional arborist or other commercial
user, Hansa chippers are all designed to make tough work enjoyable. It’s not
just about getting the job done, but the experience of doing it well, and doing
it better – using less time, less people, and having less down-time to make the
whole process more efficient.
Products are made using
the latest manufacturing technology such as 3D design, CNC machining, folding
and laser cutting to ensure a high-quality finish that delivers durability,
efficiency and a solid build.
Discussing the new
acquisition, Peter Chaloner, managing director of Henton & Chattell,
commented: “As ever, we’ve used our unique insight that we’ve gained from our
extensive network of dealers across the country to find out what the demand is.
Hansa products absolutely fit the bill for what people are looking for. We
believe there is nothing else on the UK market that is this powerful and
efficient, and the feedback we gained when we have introduced and demonstrated
them to dealers backs that up”.
The chippers are built
to be as efficient as possible, using less fuel, top quality motors and
finished with a non-toxic surface, allowing users to re-use woodchip to enhance
the environment too. They feature quality engines, are easy to start and have a
wide feed for large debris. They are also compact and manoeuvrable, with a low
weight to capacity ratio that gives them balance for ease of use and
transportation.
The domestic gardener
can choose between electric and petrol options with the C3E and the C4, both
weighing up 70kg so are perfect for home usage and storage. The C7 is the most
popular model and, with a 6.5hp petrol engine, is ideal for those with larger
gardens. For landscapers the C13, with a 13hp engine, easy engagement system
and efficient self-feeding action, removes all the hard work.
For large-scale,
commercial applications there is the C21 and the C27. Both are extremely robust
and have heavy-duty cutting disks that meet the rigorous requirements of heavy
branches and bushy foliage. The C27 has a 360-degree turntable that allows
feeding from any direction.
