FörstGrip Feedroller System

Twin hydraulic horizontal feed roller system offering exceptional grip on timber. The large top feed lifts on an arc, climbing toward the timber rather than lifting straight up and down, this makes climbing butt ends exceptional. High tension due to twin heavy duty springs and large bearings supporting either side of the top feed roller ensures strength and durability.

Built for the Mountain West

Your Trees Don't Fall
on Flat Ground.

Professionals across California, Oregon, Nevada, and the western mountain states deal with terrain that defeats conventional equipment every day. Forst tracked chippers are engineered for exactly this — they go to the debris, so you stop dragging brush downhill and start chipping where it falls. Less time hauling. Less crew exposure. More volume per shift.

35°

Max Bank Angle

The XR8D traverses grades that stop every other chipper. Work the steepest hillsides in your territory — safely.

27"

Ground Clearance

Clear roots, rocks, and rough terrain without getting hung up. Built to move through forest floors, not around them.

Independent Traxion Legs

Scissor-action tracks adjust independently, self-leveling on uneven terrain so you chip safely on any bank — no tipping, no guesswork.

Remote Control Option

Operate the XR8D from a safe distance on extreme terrain. When slopes demand it, keep your crew out of harm's way.

Most chippers stop at the road. The XR8D doesn't. Whether you're managing a fuel load on a steep Sierra Nevada hillside, clearing storm debris off an Oregon embankment, or doing fire mitigation work in terrain where conventional equipment turns around — this machine goes where the work is. Two configurations to match your operation and risk profile.

Traxion Side Angle System

Scissor-action parallel legs expand and retract independently — safe tracking on banksides, stable chipping on terrain that defeats every standard tracked machine, and the ability to negotiate over obstacles with ease.

Description

The XR8D Embankment track woodchipper gets the chipping performance of a Forst right to the trickiest locations. With its Traxion embankment system the machine will climb banks up to 35 degrees and offers huge ground clearance when you need it. The Tough and robust scissor action parallel leg system gives this machine exceptional versatility allowing you to expand and retract the legs independently to make for safe tracking on the bank side or simply to negotiate over obstacles. This machine will get rid of chip incredibly fast and hard even if it is wet and green. A massive benefit when throwing chips up the bankside thanks to the huge flywheel system with twin 10” blades.

The Forstgrip twin hydraulic horizontal feed roller system offering exceptional grip on timber. The large top feed lifts on an arc, climbing toward the timber rather than lifting straight up and down, this makes climbing butt ends exceptional.
