Aussie Chopper Hire Specs (2572 KB)
In April 2009 NSW Workcover introduced a new safety standard in regard to the operation of wood splitters. These new guidelines increase the liability of hire and rental companies & manufacturers if a customer is injured while using a non-compliant wood splitter.
Whitlands Engineering have been developing the user-friendly Aussie Chopper WS150 and WS3150 Wood Splitter with an all new control system, designed to match and exceed all current and proposed Work Cover safety standards. These machines are designed for the Hire and Rental market to be incredibly safe and easy to operate. The new two-handed control system puts these machines into the category of no-risk, meaning that for hire companies - potential liability is virtually eliminated.

Wood Splitter Workcover Safety Standard (2541 KB)
Are the wood splitters in your hire and rental fleet compliant to the new regulations? See the details on page 11 of the document above, and page 16 for the checklist, to see if your current wood splitter inventory is compliant.
If one of your customers injures themselves on a non compliant machine, your company will be liable for their injury - costing your organisation enormous amounts of money - not to mention the negative publicity.
Whitlands Engineering worked alongside Workcover to design a machine that is compliant to the new regualtions, therefore eliminating potential liability problems. The Aussie Chopper Hire Range (WS150 & WS3150 models) has been specifically designed to be not only compliant, but productive, easy to use and affordable also. The Aussie Chopper is currently one of the only machines on the market that meets & exceeds the new guidelines. For your hire company, this means that not only are your customers safe, but your company is safe - why would you choose anything else!
