Jensen – other models: the collective page of the towed wood chippers outside the named ranges, types A141 to A550, 640 to 3,480 kg unladen weight, up to 3,500 kg gross weight
Jensen of Maasbüll near Flensburg, founded in 1884 by Peter Jensen, has built wood chippers for municipalities, forestry and green-space maintenance for well over a hundred years and is regarded as the market leader in the field in Germany. The A type range covers the road-legal, towable chippers with their own trailer chassis, where the attached number denotes the build size (A141 as a small model, A550 as a large one) and the DI suffix marks the diesel-engine version; this page gathers the versions the register could not assign to a named range.

The register lists here 58 versions with unladen weights from 640 to 3,480 kg, gross weights from 800 to 3,500 kg, lengths from 3,580 to 5,060 mm and widths from 1,340 to 2,450 mm.
Towed wood chippers of this size are standard equipment for municipalities, landscaping firms and tree surgeons for processing branch cuttings and green waste on site; they are towed by a tractor or van and can be moved without an extra licence category in the class up to 3.5 tonnes.
When buying a used chipper, check the condition of the blades, anvil and feed rollers, the operating hours and condition of the drive engine, the function of the feed and discharge-chute hydraulics, and the axle, brakes and lighting of the chassis; spare parts such as blade sets and wear parts run through Jensen and the specialist trade for forestry and municipal equipment.

What to check before buying
- Search the frame and welds at the axle mounts — that is where cracks start.
- Check the brakes and the last inspection in the papers.
- Work the gross weight against the towing vehicle before buying.
- Compare the chassis number with the papers.
- Look at the floor, cover or body from the inside — rust does not show from outside.
