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.
3 Year Warranty
