A choice of chainsaws
When it comes to tree cutting, it’s essential to choose the right chainsaw for the job. At Smiths Hire, we offer a range of chainsaws, each designed to meet specific needs. Whether you’re trimming branches, tackling larger logs, or reaching those high branches without a ladder, we have the perfect tool for you. Let’s take a look at each one and find the ideal fit for your next project.
Electric chainsaws
Expertly engineered by STIHL, one of the industry’s leading manufacturers, this electric chainsaw blends strength, performance, and safety, making it an excellent choice for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts. One of its standout features is the comprehensive safety kit that is included in the hire price! This kit provides essential protective gear, including gaiters, a helmet (with visor), ear defenders, gloves, and chaps, ensuring you stay safe while tackling your projects. Built for durability and reliability, this electric chainsaw is versatile enough to handle a range of tasks. Whether you’re chopping wood for your fireplace, clearing overgrown land, or pruning trees in your yard, you can work confidently without the worry of fuel costs, mixing, or regular engine maintenance.
Petrol chainsaws
If you’re looking for something a bit more heavy-duty, the STIHL Heavy Duty Petrol Chainsaw is designed to tackle everything from firewood cutting to more demanding timber construction. This chainsaw offers high-cutting performance combined with advanced features like reduced emissions, efficient combustion, and easy side-mounted chain tensioning for smooth adjustments. Plus, it minimises vibrations, allowing for safer, extended use without the fatigue or risk associated with a big job.
Telescopic chainsaws
The STIHL Petrol Telescopic Chainsaw is ideal for high-reaching tree maintenance, allowing you to prune branches safely from the ground. Its lightweight design and 1/4″ PM3 saw chain ensure excellent cutting performance, while low vibration and quiet operation make it suitable for urban areas. The side-mounted chain tensioning allows for quick adjustments. With the efficiency of a 2-stroke engine and the power of a 4-stroke engine, it offers better fuel economy and reduced noise. At 240 cm long and weighing just 3.8 kg, it’s easy to handle and perfect for various tree maintenance tasks.
Wood chippers and shredders
At Smiths Hire, we offer a selection of wood chippers to suit a variety of needs, whether you’re a DIY enthusiast clearing up after a tree pruning or a professional landscaper tackling large-scale projects.
Towable wood chipper/shredder
For heavy-duty tasks, our Towable Wood Chipper/Shredder is an ideal choice. Powered by a four-cylinder Kubota diesel engine, this machine is built for performance and reliability. The Auto Intelligence control system ensures ease of use, while the FÖRSTGRIP feed roller system offers exceptional crushing power, capable of handling even the toughest timber. Whether you’re clearing large branches or dealing with tough tree limbs, this chipper is built to withstand the test of time.
Heavy duty petrol wood chipper/shredder
If you’re after something a little more compact yet still highly capable, the Timberwolf 75mm Heavy Duty Petrol Wood Chipper Shredder is an excellent option. Powered by a 13hp Honda petrol engine, this machine is perfect for smaller-scale tasks. Don’t be fooled by its compact size though, the Timberwolf offers impressive wood chipping capabilities. It handles garden waste efficiently with its gravity-fed design, and it’s ideal for shredding branches, prunings, and other garden waste.
Petrol Tree Stump Grinder Hire
If you’ve got a tree stump or two you’d like to remove, the Camon Petrol Tree Stump Grinder is the go-to tool. Ideal for both DIY enthusiasts and professional contractors and a favourite amongst our customers, this grinder can tackle stumps down to 300mm (12 inches) below ground level! Its unique Greenteeth-cutting action guarantees great performance with lower running costs. At the same time, its compact design (just 63cm wide) allows it to fit through garden gates and easily navigate tight spaces.
Key features include the reliable Honda GX390 engine, a heavy-duty wheel brake for stability, and folding handlebars for easy transportation and storage. This well-balanced, manoeuvrable machine makes tree stump removal simpler, safer, and more efficient, offering excellent value for any tree-clearing or landscaping project!
Take a traditional approach
If you’re someone who appreciates a more traditional approach to cutting down trees or if your job doesn’t require a chainsaw, we also offer classic felling axes here at Smiths Hire. Perfect for hands-on work, these well-crafted tools provide control and precision for your tree-felling project.
If you’re interested in taking a look at the rest of our tree-cutting range, you can find everything we have right here on our website, or you could pay us a visit at one of our 18 tool hire depots! You can find us in (or close to) a range of major cities, including Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds. Or, if you have any questions, you can give our friendly teams a call on 0333 323 2100. We’re here to assist you in making your tree felling and garden maintenance projects efficient and safe!
