Monitor offer a wide range of auto feed wood chippers, designed by professionals for professionals. We supply arborists, hire companies and more with quality tree chippers that are light weight and boast a small footprint to ensure accessibility. Yet of course, even though they’re light and manoeuvrable, they still offer you great performance.
To meet the needs of the Australian market, Monitor are proud to distribute two different, world-class brands of wood chipper.
Designed specifically for the demanding arborist segment, Morbark drum chippers are larger machines that throw chip significantly harder – which means less chance of blockages while you’re on the job.
Morbark chippers’ larger top feed roller means they climb a lot easier. And their 12 month warranty means you can get on with the job with confidence.
If you’re looking for an entry level wood chipper that’s tough and reliable, the Forst range of chippers is ideal. These tracked brush chippers can easily get into the tightest access, and the disc chipper design means they’re practically un-blockable. In fact, Forst chippers can handle even palms and other wetter plant material with ease.
The Forst chipper’s clutchless design means you’ll get a streamlined startup every time – just turn the key and you’re ready to work.
We find the Forst range ideally suited to hire companies. They’re easy to use – even if you haven’t used a chipper before – which makes them great for first-time users and renters. And with a 3 year warranty, they offer you ultimate reliability to boot.
The answer is yes – our 6” chipper weighs just 700kg, and the 8” chipper just under a tonne. That means you can easily transport our wood chippers on a trailer or small truck.

At Monitor Lifts we’re serious about support. Having the right service and maintenance will help extend the life of your chipper, and increase your ROI by ensuring they keep working when other machines give up.
A properly maintained wood chipper will ensure safe operation for both your employees and your customers. Maintenance must be done wherever you need it, whenever you need it, to preserve your investment and operations.
Monitor’s 24-Hour Support Service can provide you with the emergency support, spare parts supply, routine maintenance and training you need – wherever you are in Australia.
The cornerstone of responsive service and support is having sufficient critical parts on hand, ready to use. That’s why Monitor have made a commitment to maintaining a $2 million parts inventory.
From our central parts storage in Tamworth (soon to be expanded into an even larger facility to further increase our parts inventory) and through our other 5 warehouses in major cities across Australia, we can supply parts wherever you operate.
