manufacturing facility in Leeds,
Alabama.
“Our president Scott Smith is a
second-generation innovator like
his father, company founder and

Bruks has manufactured
professional chippers for more
than 50 years, accumulating
experience in designing efficient
wood chippers.
“Demands from customers and
from the industries are changing,
and mobile chippers are used in
a much wider range today; either
they are chipping in the forest,
along the road or in big biomass
terminal,” the manufacturer
stated. “Bruks covers all demands
contractors might have today.”
Bruks’ mobile chippers are a
time-tested concept combined
with new innovative solution for
the production of biofuels from
renewable forest resources. Bruks
mobile chippers and chipping
systems “revolutionize” the energy
harvesting process either in the
forest or close by.
“Here we produce chips with
high density and a perfectly
adapted size and high energy
content,” the manufacturer said.
“Today, Bruks is one of the
world’s leading manufacturers of
mobile chippers. Our leadership is
based not only on our renowned
products but also on our service
such as operator training, start-up
assistance and extraordinary
technical support.
“We offer three different size of
chipper today: our tractor driven
605, our flexible and efficient 806
and our newest member in the
chipper family, the powerful 1006.”
Bruks mobile chippers are
either driven from its own diesel
engine, directly from the truck
engine or from an agriculture
tractor. Our goal is to have a
chipper for every need, with many
opportunities and to be able to
adapt it on any suitable carrier
vehicle so it fits your requirements
and makes you a more successful
chip contractor.”
One of the company’s latest
projects is a complete chipper unit,
with its own engine, hydraulics and

The chipper is mounted on
swivel and allows therefor chipping
from both sides. The long chip tube
is adjustable in both height and
sideways. A powerful crane with
height adjustable cabin is installed.
The trailer can be disconnected
from the truck; a robust support
wheel allows it to stand on its own.
The whole unit is self-sufficient.
As optional equipment, a hydraulic
drive that makes it possible to
move the whole unit is offered.
The link trailer allows further
and it is possible to connect a
trailer.
All this, combined with the
proven high capacity of the 1006 ST
provides a very versatile chipper.
