Product Details

Description

 

The Hyundai HYLS8000VE is a powerful 8 tonne vertical electric log splitter designed for homeowners who need fast, safe, and reliable firewood preparation.

Driven by a powerful 3000 W motor and a hydraulic ram, it splits logs up to 55 cm long and 30 cm in diameter with ease.

The dual-handle control system, solid steel frame, and low-maintenance design make it ideal for regular domestic or light-trade use - simply plug into a standard 13 A socket and start splitting.

High Performance and Powerful Vertical 8 Tonne Log Splitter

Delivering a true 8 tonnes of splitting force from a 3000 W electric motor and 21 MPa hydraulic system, the HYLS8000VE effortlessly handles logs up to 30 cm in diameter and 55 cm in length.

With its 15.6 second forward and 2.8 second return cycle, this log splitter can handle around 200 logs per hour under ideal conditions - perfect for log burners, stoves or fire pits.

Log Splitter for Domestic and Light Commercial Use

Positioned between smaller 5–7 tonne splitters and 10 tonne industrial models, the HYLS8000VE offers a strong balance of power and portability.

Its vertical format allows larger logs to be handled safely without heavy lifting, and the dual-handle control ensures both hands stay clear of the ram at all times.

Ease of Use and Transport

Despite its heavy-duty build (109 kg net weight), the machine can be easily repositioned using the solid transport wheels and rear handle.

The splitter operates from any standard 230 V / 13 A UK socket.

Maintenance and Longevity

Routine care is minimal: check hydraulic oil levels periodically and replace annually.

Keep the log table clear of debris, inspect hoses and fittings, and store the unit in a dry, sheltered location when not in use.

The durable powder-coated steel frame resists rust and wear for years of dependable operation.

Safety and Compliance

The HYLS8000VE log splitter meets CE and EMC safety standards and uses a dual-hand control system to prevent accidental activation.

It produces lower noise and vibration than petrol equivalents, making it suitable for residential environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this split green wood?
Yes, but performance is best on seasoned or semi-seasoned wood. Green logs may require more time per split or multiple passes due to higher moisture content.
Does it arrive assembled?
Partial assembly is required - mainly the log table and handles. Assembly takes around 30 minutes using basic tools.
How many logs can it split per hour?
Up to around 200 logs per hour under ideal conditions, depending on log size and hardness.
How often should I change the hydraulic oil?
Once a year or every 100 hours of use. Use standard ISO 32 or 46 hydraulic oil.
Is it easy to move?
Yes — it includes large solid wheels and a rear handle. Due to its 109 kg weight, we recommend two people for lifting or loading.
What power supply does it need?
Standard UK 230 V / 13 A socket. No adapters or industrial power required.
What size logs can it handle?
Up to 30 cm in diameter and 55 cm in length - standard for most household firewood.

Just tried it out and seems to do the job it's made for. It's pretty straightforward to use and its splitting cycle is quite quick. It's deceivingly heavy so wouldn't want to be moving it about to often. All in all i believe it's worth the money.

Excellent machine

The machine operates exactly as I hoped it would. I could raise and lower the stroke length to suit the logs I was splitting and the speed of the stroke was sufficiently quick that I did not feel I was watching paint dry. Retraction after splitting was quick so I could put a new log in without any delay.

Great bit of kit

Heavy, well made with good safety features. Easy to assemble with adequate instructions. Had it splitting wood inside a half hour. Good value as cost less in actual terms than my current splitter in 2005. Delivery was first class and delivered to North Scotland in 6 days from order over Christmas.

8 tonne vertical safe log splitter

A good working height table, a steady & stable ram speed, gives a powerful safe splitting action, far safer & more comfortable to use than others used.

Direct replacement for my petrol vertical splitter.

My year old pile of oak, beech and birch presented no problems to the splitter even when knotty. Much better working next to this electric version than a petrol one. Also just plugging in and not worrying about fuel, engine maintenance and winterisation is good.

Great in use, assembly hard

The log splitter makes easy work of splitting logs and making kindling.
Assembly needs better photos and instructions. The wheels are easy but the swinging arms took a lot of thought due to small diagrams. Very heavy item.

Log Splitter

This log splitter exceeds all expectations and is capable of splitting both hard and soft wood logs of 300mm plus with ease and nothing seems to phase it.
Extremely well manufactured which as an Engineer is important to me and the three year warranty gives additional piece of mind.
If you are looking for an efficient electric log splitter then this machine is a definite choice and you will not be disappointed.

Amazing bit of kit

It was obvious from the start that this was a high quality item. It’s very solid and the paint job is beautiful.

After unpacking assembly was straightforward and within minutes I was keen to try it out.

I wasn’t disappointed. Its performance was very impressive. Very powerful with good safety features and so easy to use.

Does exactly what it should

I’ve been struggling to cut logs with my trusty axe but when the logs are full of knots then it’s almost impossible. I ordered this log splitter as I had a similar one years ago and thought I’d go with a trusted brand. The bonus was that there was no delivery charge, even to the highlands of Scotland. This was very unusual. The log splitter arrived in pristine condition and after assembling it, I was quickly tackling those logs that I would never have cut with my axe. Great product, very competitive price and great delivery. I fully recommend this in order to make your life easier.
