Ifor Williams LS256 Heavy Duty Log Splitter Trailer

The Ifor Williams LS256 is a revolutionary, towable road-going implement engineered for forestry professionals, estate managers, commercial arborists, and tree surgeons. The LS256 stays true to Ifor Williams core values of exceptional build quality, strength, value, and ease of maintenance. Bringing a massive 25-tonne hydraulic splitting force directly to your job site or yard, it handles dense hardwoods, green timber, and heavily knotted logs with total efficiency.

At the heart of the LS256 is a premium Honda GX200 commercial-grade petrol engine paired with a sophisticated two-stage Hi-Lo hydraulic pump. This intelligent system automatically switches between low and high pressure; the ram travels at a higher speed when under no load, but instantly delivers maximum splitting power at a controlled speed the moment the 250mm angled splitting head encounters resistance. For maximum on-site flexibility, the fully galvanised splitting column features a counterbalanced design, allowing a single operator to quickly and safely switch between horizontal and vertical splitting modes depending on log sizes. Built on a road-legal, hot-dipped galvanised steel chassis with signature Ifor Williams beam axles and parabolic leaf-sprung suspension, it safely processes large timber volumes up to 600mm in length.

Advanced Factory Features & Infrastructure

• Dual-Axis Operation: The counterbalanced column effortlessly shifts between vertical and horizontal splitting orientations, allowing you to roll massive logs straight onto the anvil without heavy lifting.

• Honda GX200 & Hi-Lo Pump: A certified Honda installation running an 11 Gallons Per Minute two-stage pump, offering fast cycle times under zero load and immense pressure under heavy load.

• Ergonomic Multi-Position Control Column: The 3-position rotating control column ensures the operator maintains a comfortable posture and a clear view of the workspace while staying a safe distance from the splitting head.

• Two-Handed Safety Control: To guarantee operator safety, a dual-lever system requires both hands to engage the downstroke. The system features an automatic hands-free return stroke that auto-disengages once the wedge reaches its home position.

• Integrated Log Retainers & Guards: Heavy-duty, hinged side guards securely keep logs positioned over the high-grip safety anvil, preventing log slippage and stopping split pieces from falling sideways.

• Built-in Log Stripper: A spring-loaded, mechanical log stripper is integrated as standard to make removing jammed wood from the wedge entirely effortless.
