Frequently Asked Questions About Först ST6P Hire

Can I legally tow the Först ST6P on a standard UK driving licence?
Yes. Because the standard Först ST6P weighs under 750kg, it can be legally towed behind almost any car on a standard UK driving licence without needing a B+E trailer entitlement.

What is the maximum timber diameter this chipper can handle?
The Först ST6P has a maximum chipping capacity of 150mm (6 inches). Its unique 150mm x 200mm infeed opening allows it to easily swallow awkwardly shaped branches and heavy brash without the need for prior chainsaw trimming.

What fuel does the Först ST6P use?
This machine runs on standard unleaded petrol. It features an advanced electronic fuel injection (EFI) engine, which makes it incredibly fuel-efficient and easy to start in all weather conditions. It is supplied with a full 30-litre tank, and we ask that it is refilled before return.

Do you provide safety gear (PPE) with the wood chipper hire?
While we do not automatically include personal protective equipment with the machine rental, we highly recommend wearing heavy-duty gloves, safety goggles, ear defenders, and steel-toe boots. We stock a full range of safety gear at our depot available for purchase or hire upon request.

What happens if the wood chipper gets blocked or jams during operation?
The ST6P is equipped with an AutoIntelligence stress control system that automatically manages the feed rollers to prevent engine stalls. However, if a major blockage occurs, you can easily reverse the feed rollers using the safe-touch buttons on the infeed hopper. Never reach into the hopper while the flywheel is turning.

Are the chipper blades sharp when I hire the machine?
Absolutely. Every single wood chipper in our fleet undergoes a rigorous multi-point safety inspection and has its blades thoroughly checked or replaced before it leaves our yard to ensure maximum cutting performance.
