Demand in the forestry and energy wood sector continues to grow. The key question is how to accomplish more work in the same amount of time while meeting ever-increasing expectations for efficiency. This has been the guiding principle throughout our 17 years of operation: continuously seeking solutions and equipment that meet our customers' needs and enable professionals to work without interruptions, writes Pille-Riin Raudsepp, CEO of Balmax OÜ.
We believe we have come very close to the right answer in wood chip production. We offer Europe's leading equipment for this sector: high-capacity, powerful MUS-MAX wood chippers, complemented by durable KESLA forestry cranes with high-visibility cabins, as well as HSP Gripen grapples—our large customers' preferred choice.

Busting the Myth!
Although MUS-MAX is best known for its high-quality tractor-mounted and compact wood chippers, this Austrian manufacturer also offers far more powerful solutions for professional wood chip producers, energy wood contractors, and large-scale forestry operators. The MUS-MAX product range includes both truck-mounted and custom-built high-capacity wood chippers designed to process exceptionally large volumes of timber. The MUS-MAX WT 11 series, for example, is built for operations where there is no room for compromise. Its large infeed opening, powerful chipping drum, and well-engineered design make it possible to process even large-diameter timber with ease.
Every Chip Size You Need
MUS-MAX wood chippers are capable of producing all required chip sizes for pellet mills, biomass heating plants, and power generation facilities. Based on customer feedback, MUS-MAX machines efficiently process logging residues, energy wood, and large tree stems while consistently delivering uniform, high-quality wood chips.
MUS-MAX engineers have also placed great emphasis on ease of operation and long-term reliability. A robust frame, premium-quality components, and easy access to service points help minimise downtime and maximise machine lifespan. The straightforward machine design also reduces maintenance costs and keeps future repair and spare parts expenses to a minimum.
We believe we have found the ideal combination for the Baltic market: truck, chipper, crane, and grapple working together as a complete solution. Evidence of this can be seen in the fact that other wood chipper manufacturers have also started using HSP Gripen grapples and TYRI Lights premium work lights—components that we have been fitting to our machines for many years.
