For reliable wood chipper hire in Melbourne, Hiredepot has you covered.

What is a Wood Chipper?

A wood chipper is a heavy-duty machine that turns branches, sticks, and other woody debris into mulch or small chips.
You feed it through a chute, and it uses sharp internal blades and high-speed force to chew everything up into manageable bits. It’s perfect for landscaping, garden maintenance or clearing overgrowth..

Who It’s For?

Tradies, landscapers, local councils, homeowners, and just anyone tackling big jobs can benefit from a wood chipper. If you are pruning trees, removing branches, or clearing a vacant block, a chipper can save you hours of hard work.

Hiredepot’s models are designed for ease of use and efficiency, whether you are a professional on a tight schedule or simply reclaiming your backyard over the weekend. With basic safety awareness and by following the provided instructions, you will find the tool straightforward to operate.
Our team will also guide you through the start‑up process when you collect your hire.

FAQs

What size branches can this wood chipper handle?

Our wood chipper handles up to 100mm in branches. It’s suitable for green waste, shrub trimmings, and smaller limbs. Anything bigger and you’ll probably need to chainsaw it down first, so please speak to our team and be sure to let them know your job logistics and they can advise.

Is the chipper towable?

Yes. The unit is fully towable with a standard towball hitch. Just check your vehicle’s towing capacity, make sure you’ve got working trailer lights, and you’re good to go. Easy to hook up, with no special licence required.

Do you provide safety equipment?

You’ll be able to purchase basic PPE kit from us at an additional cost (including ear muffs, eye protection, gloves). Chippers are loud and fast, so we always recommend taking safety seriously. Covered shoes, long pants, and no loose clothing are a must. Please refer to our hazard assessment sheet for correct and up-do-date information.

How much does a wood chipper hire cost?

Pricing varies according to the hire period, whether for a single day, a weekend, or a full week. As a general guide, a one‑day hire is cost‑effective and often less expensive than a single green waste disposal trip. For an exact quote, please contact our team directly.

Can I hire for just one day or weekend?

Absolutely. We understand that many projects are undertaken over the weekend. We provide flexible hire periods, including same‑day collection and return options. As our branches are closed on Sunday, a Saturday hire gives you the benefit of a bonus day with only a Saturday hire rate (providing equipment is returned first thing Monday morning). Simply let us know the scope of your work, and we will arrange a hire schedule that suits your needs.
