Pruning trees and clearing overgrown areas can leave you with a lot of material to deal with.
A good chipper gives you a practical way to reduce branches, prunings and other suitable garden material into compact wood chip that can be reused around the property.
Hansa builds chippers around a simple idea: strong construction, straightforward operation and enough cutting capacity to match the job.
The range starts with the compact electric C3e for suburban gardens and steps through petrol-powered machines capable of handling progressively larger branches and heavier workloads.
At STIHL SHOP Te Awamutu, we’ll help you choose based on what you’re actually chipping.
Tell us the size of the branches, how often you’ll use the machine and the type of property you’re maintaining, and we’ll help you narrow down the options.
Hansa chippers are engineered and manufactured in New Zealand using robust steel construction designed for long-term property use.
The cutting action helps draw suitable branches and prunings through the machine, reducing the amount of manual feeding required.
Turn suitable garden waste into wood chip that can be used for garden mulch, composting or reducing the volume of material you need to dispose of.
From 40 mm branches with the electric C3e through to 70 mm capacity with the C7, there is a clear progression as property size and workload increase.
These four Hansa models cover everything from routine suburban pruning through to larger lifestyle-property cleanup.
The right model comes down to the diameter and type of material you’re processing, how frequently you’ll use the chipper and whether electric or petrol power makes more sense for your property.
A compact electric chipper for suburban gardens and regular pruning work, combining convenient push-button operation with enough capacity to process branches up to 40 mm in diameter.
It’s a strong option where you want simple operation without managing petrol or engine servicing.
A compact petrol chipper for homeowners who need more cutting capacity and the freedom to work away from a power outlet.
With up to 50 mm branch capacity, it is well suited to regular garden maintenance, pruning and general property cleanup.
A step up for larger gardens and more demanding property maintenance, with increased chipping capacity and enough power to process branches up to 60 mm.
The C5 remains compact enough to move around the property while giving you noticeably more capability than the smaller garden models.
The heavier-duty option for large gardens and lifestyle blocks, with a larger inlet, twin-knife cutting system and capacity for branches up to 70 mm.
Pneumatic wheels and optional towing equipment also make it better suited to moving around larger properties.
Specifications shown are indicative of current New Zealand models and may change. We’ll confirm current specifications, availability and pricing when you enquire — and if another model better suits the material you’re processing, we’ll tell you.
What customers commonly want to know before choosing a Hansa chipper.
Start with the branch diameter you regularly need to process and how much material you generate.
The C3e handles up to 40 mm, the C4 up to 50 mm, the C5 up to 60 mm and the C7 up to 70 mm.
From there, consider power source, property size and how often you’ll use the chipper.
For many suburban gardens, yes.
The C3e is designed for garden pruning and branches up to 40 mm, making it a practical option if most of your material comes from routine tree and shrub maintenance.
The C5 gives you more power and a higher maximum branch capacity.
The C4 handles branches up to 50 mm, while the C5 steps up to 60 mm.
If your pruning regularly includes heavier branches or larger volumes of material, the C5 gives you more headroom.
The C7 makes sense when the workload moves beyond ordinary garden pruning.
Its 70 mm capacity, larger inlet, twin-knife cutting system and more substantial construction make it particularly suitable for larger gardens and lifestyle properties.
Hansa’s rotor and cutting-system design is intended to handle a range of garden material, including some fibrous material.
Performance will vary depending on the type, moisture content and quantity of material, so talk to us if you have a particular type of waste you regularly need to process.
Yes.
These models use a self-feeding cutting action that helps pull suitable material through the machine once the knife engages.
Optional tow-bar configurations are available for the C7, including options designed for connection to suitable ride-on mowers or other property vehicles.
Talk to us about how you intend to move the chipper and we’ll help identify the appropriate setup.
Accessories are available for selected models.
For example, Hansa offers a collection bag for the C3e and C4, while the C7 can be used with additional material-handling options.
Ask us what is available for the model you’re considering.
Hansa is a New Zealand company and manufactures its chippers in New Zealand, with its headquarters based in Hamilton.
Like any cutting equipment, chipper knives wear over time and require maintenance.
Hansa uses replaceable and sharpenable tool-steel knives, and keeping the cutting edge in good condition is important for effective chipping.
Yes.
