What are the different types of Venom log splitters?

There are several models of Venom log splitters, here we’ll break it down.

22-ton Venom Log Splitter with table

The 22-ton Venom Log Splitter is a great allrounder for both professional and domestic users. It has a 10-second cycle time and can be used horizontally for splitting standard diameter logs or vertically for larger tree rounds if you are unable to lift it to the horizontal splitting height. This log splitter is powered by the new 6.5 hp Briggs and Stratton Vanguard engine with the new Cyclonic Air Cleaner and travel guard. It is fully towable on UK roads up to the speed of 45 mph.

15-ton Venom Compact Series Petrol Log Splitter

A smaller option is the 15-ton Venom C-Series which utilises a 2-stage pump and a larger redesigned oil tank to reduce the cycle time down to 10 seconds. It is a robust and practical log splitter while still being easy to store and manoeuvre and has its engine. With 15 tons of splitting power, this model can be used horizontally and vertically. Also operating with a Briggs and Stratton Vanguard engine, it makes splitting easy.

12-ton Venom Compact MK2 Series Electric Log Splitter

A great compact option, the 12-ton electric log splitter is also easy to store and manoeuvre, while simply plugging into your mains power. It is designed solely for domestic use providing 12 tons of splitting power that can be used either horizontally or vertically. The splitter is powered by a 230V electric motor, so it doesn't provide as much power as some engine-driven models, it is still perfect for light use and boasts a lower noise level of 88dB(A)

14-ton Venom Tractor Mounted log splitter

The 14-ton tractor-mounted option is a great choice for strength, reliability and quality from the Venom range. It is a compact vertical splitter with an easy hitch mount which can be connected to your tractor in a matter of seconds. This is considered the go-to tractor-mounted log splitter in the UK as it allows you to tackle logs with ease as well as offering two-handle safety control, automatic run return and the ability to stop the ram anywhere on the cycle to save time.

12-ton VENOM Log Splitter

Another smaller log splitter is best for domestic use or light commercial users who are in need of a portable, value-for-money log splitter. You can fit this compact log splitter on a small trailer or into a van for transportation from site to site. It also features a pull-along handle for ease of moving around the site. It operates with a 6.5hp Briggs and Stratton Vanguard engine.

Venom 25 ton Heavy Duty Tractor mounted log splitter with table

This tractor-mounted option provides 25 tons of splitting power and is a great heavy-duty option. It comes with a robust frame complete with three-point linkage with easy hitch mounts - so you can quickly and easily mount it to your tractor in a matter of seconds. This log splitter can also be used vertically or horizontally and has a small working table to help keep split logs at working height.

35-ton Venom SE-Series Log Splitter

The latest addition to the Venom range, the SE-Series 35-ton offers a brand new design in line with new EU and UK safety guidelines. With the new handle system, this log splitter can only be used vertically. It has a 10-second cycle time and provides 35 tons of splitting force powered by the new 9.5 hp Briggs and Stratton engine.

Benefits of Venom log splitters

There are many reasons why Venom log splitters are a great choice. Here are the benefits of these machines.

    • Venom log splitters are built to last. They are made from heavy-duty construction which is able to withstand rigorous use. This makes it an ideal long-term investment because it is sure to outlast other, cheaper alternatives. Particularly, the heavy-duty Venom log splitters such as the 25-ton model.
    • Switch between horizontal and vertical log splitting. Most Venom models are able to offer both splitting options making it easy to tackle logs of all different sizes. They cater to a variety of log sizes and user preferences, making it a versatile and worthwhile investment.
    • Compliance with EU health and safety regulations. Many of the Venom models have optimised safety features such as a two-handled valve operation so that users can operate the machine with the assurance that safety is a top priority.
  • Added design features. Some models have design features that make the log splitter easier to use. For example, the 25-ton has a small working table for split logs and an auto-return valve to significantly reduce the time and effort in log-splitting.
  • A range of splitting forces.  No matter what your needs are, the Venom range has a splitting force that is right for you. Starting at 12 tons and going all the way up to 25 tons, Venom can provide all domestic and commercial users with the right splitting force for their needs.
