Whitlands Engineering is Australia's leading specialist manufacturer of Firewood Processors and Wood Splitters for all commercial, semi-commercial, farm and domestic applications. As they say, necessity is the mother of all inventions. So when David Burder - CEO of Whitlands Engineering, needed to split 12 tons of timber each year for his home heater, the handy ol' axe didn't quite cut it.
The midsize WS150 is suited to domestic, farm, hire or semi commercial operations. The WS150 features robust construction, a larger work bench and a 150kg capacity cable operated log lifter. The innovative double handed control system ensures ease of use, quick cycle times & unmatched safety. A 9hp engine is fitted as standard, but a 6hp engine is also available.
The robust WS3150 is suitable for processing larger volumes of firewood for farm, hire or commercial operations. Featuring a 200kg capacity hydraulic log lifter, larger wheels, larger workbench and a larger frame - the WS3150 is the second most powerful splitter in the range. The innovative double handed control with auto return ensures ease of use, quick cycle times & unmatched safety.
The WS4150 is fast, powerful & highly productive, making it the ideal solution for splitting large volumes of firewood. The WS4150 is the most powerful machine in the range with extra features built in to ensure large volumes of firewood can be split with ease.

Standard features include a 18hp engine, 200kg capacity hydraulic block lifter, larger bench area, offset splitting head, longer blade, more rollers for easy block manoeuvring and the innovative double handed control system for safe and easy machine operation.A 360mm straight blade is fitted as standard, with optional Tee or Cross shaped blade for three or four way splitting.
After a lot of research and discussion with participants in the Australian Firewood Industry, we identified a need for a high-volume production wood splitter built to handle all species of Australian hardwood timbers and with the specific goal of producing split firewood for bagging operations. As a result of this, the REX X Splitter prototype was developed.

Had my Superaxe WS4150 for 3 years now.
Best money I have ever spent. I actually look forward to splitting wood now.
Great company to deal with anytime I’ve needed help.

Ive dealt with this company for many years now. We are a large commercial bagging operation and the Whitlands gear is the only equipment that stands up to our Aussie hardwood without breaking. Ive only ever had very minor issues over the years which the boys were more than happy to cover costs of repairs under warranty. I will definitely continue to purchase their equipment. 5 Stars !!
