Bandit offers more track chippers

Bandit Industries' model 2400 Track disc-style chipper.

Nov. 25, 2010, Remus, MI – Track-equipped
whole-tree chippers bring a tremendous level of versatility to the job site. In
cases of arduous terrain, track units are often the only option for processing
material. Even on more accessible sites, having the broad flexibility of a
track chipper can pay dividends for companies large or small, and that’s why
Bandit Industries now offers three drum-style models to compliment three
disc-style track chippers already in production. Each chipper offers several
factory options or can be custom built to suit the needs of nearly any
situation, providing exceptional levels of accessibility and convenience.

Accessibility: The obvious advantage to a
self-propelled track chipper is that it can go places a towable unit can’t
reach. This holds especially true for companies and contractors involved in
land clearing and right-of-way operations, where the terrain can range from
swampland to mountains, with roads few and far between. Even the largest Bandit
track chippers possess outstanding flotation and manoeuvrability, allowing them
to work the front lines with surprising accessibility.

Convenience: Equipped with an optional
built-in loader, Bandit track chippers can drive to the trees, feed the
material, and process it, all with a single machine. This convenience is
rivalled only by the cost savings achieved from eliminating other equipment
like loaders and skidders. Track models can also be operated by remote control,
making them an extremely convenient tool to have on the job site.

Reputation: Bandit self-propelled
whole-tree chippers use only Caterpillar undercarriages. These whole-tree
chippers also carry a five-year “GUTS” warranty covering the disc/drum and
other internal components. Bandit’s whole-tree chippers are hand-built using
top-grade materials and meticulous attention to detail and they’re backed by
excellent customer service. These elements—exceptional quality, durability, and
service—form the foundation for Bandit’s exemplary reputation.
