Frequently Asked Questions: Forestry Equipment Hire in Brighton and West Sussex
What size chipper?
For garden brash up to 75mm, a compact chipper is usually suitable. For larger clearance work up to 200mm, choose a commercial chipper.
Can I grind a stump myself?
Yes. Stump grinders are straightforward to use. The yard team will provide a full handover, and appropriate PPE should be worn.
How fast?
Most equipment goes out the same or next day. Call 01273 596 979.
What should I consider before hiring forestry equipment?
The right forestry equipment will depend on the type and density of vegetation, tree or stump size, terrain, gradients, ground conditions and access available. Wet or sensitive ground may need lighter or tracked machinery, while steep or restricted sites can limit which machines can work safely and effectively. The Forestry Commission explains why access, ground protection and careful operational planning matter in its guidance on sustainable forestry and responsible timber harvesting. Tell Coppard’s Brighton team what needs clearing, the approximate area and any access or ground restrictions, and they can recommend suitable forestry machinery for the job.
