Schliesing – further models: the collection page for towed wood chippers on a trailer chassis, sizes from 200 to 550, 960 kg to 3.45 t unladen weight, up to 3.5 t gross weight
Schliesing builds wood chippers on its own trailer chassis; this collection page lists the versions the register could not assign to a named series. Model names run from the smaller 200 and 220 sizes up to the heavy 495 and 550 types, with suffixes such as MX, EX and TX marking equipment and drive variants within a given size.

The register lists 65 versions with an unladen weight from 960 kg to 3.45 t and a gross weight from 1 to 3.5 t. Lengths range from 3.12 to 4.3 m, widths from 1.5 to 2.36 m.
This spans the full range of towed chippers for green-space maintenance, landscaping and forestry, from the light trailer for a municipal depot to the heavy chipper for professional service providers. Their compact dimensions also allow use in tight courtyards and at roadsides where larger self-propelled chippers cannot turn.
When buying a used chipper, key checks include the condition of the cutting unit and knives, the tightness of the infeed and discharge hydraulics, and wear on the belts or drive shaft. The trailer chassis's frame, axle and brakes should be checked for corrosion and play, along with the overrun brake and lights. A clogged infeed chute or a worn flywheel bearing are common wear points worth checking as well. Spare parts for knives, counter-blades and drive components are available from chipper specialists.

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.
