The FM5T-TC 5 ton log splitter is a fast, compact and lightweight 5-ton log splitter and the ideal product for beginners or when using small to medium wood burners. It is best suited to splitting soft or green wood if you are splitting hard or knotty wood, you should consider the FM10 series of Duocut log splitters.
The FM5T-TC has a quick cycle time of 9 seconds making it the fastest small log splitter. It can split logs up to 300mm / 12 inches in length.
The FM5T-TC has a 2200W motor and produces a genuine 5 ton of force, unlike other small log splitters which only have a 1500 watt motor and produce 4 ton of force.
With it’s compact size and weighing approximately 32kg, it is easy to move around and store. To comply with the latest safety regulations it has button and lever operation. It is supplied filled with hydraulic oil ready for use.
The log splitter comes with a workbench and guard to comply with all new safety regulations. Unlike the safety cages used by other manufacturers, our guard has sides with no openings so that split logs cannot catch in an opening and cause damage. It will allow you to split logs up to 300mm* in diameter, wheres the cages used by other manufacturers will only allow logs up to 250mm diameter.
Model FM5T-TC comes with our universal log splitter stand, which uses the rear wheels from the log splitter and has a simple foot at the front.
The FM5T-TC can also be fitted with our DuocutTM blade (sold separately), fitting the Duocut blade will reduce the max log length to 230mm.

Super quick delivery if not assembly (non-captive nuts in difficult to reach spots) but why didn’t I buy one years ago? Turns a wheelbarrow full of rounds into split logs in just over 30 minutes. And get the Duocut blade – pricey really for what it is and another fiddle to fit but well worth it

Very powerful machine,it will split logs more than 15cms in diameter! My only gripe is that the travel of the pneumatic arm is shorter than I expected. I should have gone for the model with a longer travel but it is more expensive. I ordered the stand with mine and it’s well worth the extra as the machine is heavy to manoeuvre especially for an 80 yr old!
