15T Horizontal Vertical Hydraulic Log Splitter

The 15T Horizontal Vertical Hydraulic Log Splitter is designed for buyers who need a compact machine with two practical operating positions. In horizontal mode, it provides a familiar work surface for routine splitting. When a log is too heavy to lift comfortably, the beam can be rotated through 90 degrees for vertical operation, allowing the log to remain close to the ground. This arrangement reduces unnecessary lifting while keeping the hydraulic splitting force available for ordinary firewood preparation, farm maintenance, timber yards, and seasonal wood processing.

This configuration uses a Runtong 180cc air-cooled four-stroke gasoline engine with an OHV layout and cast-iron cylinder sleeve. Electric starting and manual recoil starting are both available on the specified engine configuration. The 3.6 L fuel tank supports mobile work where a fixed electrical supply is unavailable. The machine uses a 520 mm splitting stroke, a 70 mm cylinder bore, 16–22 MPa working pressure, a CBT1/4.2 hydraulic pump, and a 40 L three-position manual control valve. The hydraulic system uses No. 46 hydraulic oil with a stated capacity of 5–6.5 L.

15T Hydraulic Log Splitter Specifications

Horizontal and Vertical Working Positions

The main operating feature is the ability to use the splitter in either a horizontal or vertical position. Horizontal operation is suitable for logs that can be placed on the beam without excessive effort. It gives the operator a conventional working height and a clear view of the wedge and push plate. Vertical operation is intended for heavier pieces that are inconvenient to lift. By changing the working position through 90 degrees, the operator can keep the log near ground level and align it with the wedge. The change of position does not alter the stated 15-ton splitting-force configuration.

The dual-position design is useful when a work batch contains mixed log sizes. Smaller pieces can be processed horizontally, while larger pieces can be handled vertically without requiring a separate machine.

Runtong 180cc Gasoline Engine

The specified power unit is a Runtong 180cc air-cooled four-stroke gasoline engine. Its OHV arrangement and cast-iron cylinder sleeve are selected for practical outdoor machinery use. The engine configuration supports both electric starting and manual recoil starting, giving the operator two starting methods.

Engine selection can be discussed before production when a destination market or customer preference requires a different configuration.

Hydraulic Splitting System

The hydraulic circuit is built around a CBT1/4.2 pump and a 40 L three-position manual control valve. The stated working-pressure range is 16–22 MPa, and the cylinder bore is 70 mm. The system uses No. 46 hydraulic oil with a stated capacity of 5–6.5 L.

The three-position manual valve gives the operator direct control of the hydraulic movement. Before operation, the hydraulic oil level, hose condition, fittings, and control response should be checked.

520 mm Splitting Stroke and 15-Second Cycle

The standard splitting stroke is 520 mm, and the stated cycle time is 15 seconds. A customized stroke can be discussed when the buyer has a defined firewood length or special production requirement.

The 520 mm stroke is intended to cover common firewood preparation needs while keeping the machine compact.

2-Way and 4-Way Wedge Options

A 2-way or 4-way wedge can be selected. The 2-way wedge divides a log into two sections. The 4-way wedge divides suitable logs into four sections in one pass.

Wedge selection should match log diameter, wood hardness, knot frequency, and target finished size.

Heavy-Duty Steel Frame and Mobile Layout

The machine uses a heavy-duty steel frame intended to support the hydraulic cylinder, beam, engine, valve, and working loads. The listed net weight is 125 kg and the gross weight is 145 kg. The machine dimensions are 1430 × 520 × 1160 mm.

The 4.1-3.5-4 tires and transport handle make short-distance repositioning more convenient.

Operating Preparation

Place the machine on firm, level ground before use. Check the engine oil, fuel, hydraulic oil, hoses, fittings, fasteners, wedge area, tires, and control valve. Keep people away from the splitting zone.

Logs should be inspected before splitting. A stable log position helps the wedge enter the wood more predictably.

Routine Maintenance

Regular maintenance supports stable hydraulic performance and machine life. Check the hydraulic oil level and look for leaks around hoses, fittings, the pump, valve, and cylinder.

Fasteners should be inspected after initial operation and at routine intervals. Stop the engine and release hydraulic pressure before service.

Application Guidance

This 15T model is intended for general firewood preparation and mobile work where a compact horizontal/vertical splitter is preferred.

For an accurate recommendation, provide the maximum log diameter and length, wood species, required daily output, preferred wedge, and destination country.

Factory-Direct Customization

Factory-direct OEM/ODM service is available for the logo, color, engine choice, splitting stroke, and other project-specific requirements.

Certification and destination-market documentation can be supplied for the applicable ordered configuration.
