Vermeer – other models: the collective page of chippers and drilling rigs on trailer chassis outside the named ranges, BC and HG range, gross weight up to 33 tonnes
This page bundles the Vermeer trailers outside the named ranges – chippers and drilling rigs on their own trailer chassis from the US manufacturer based in Pella, Iowa. The BC range (Brush Chipper) runs from compact green-waste chippers to the XL version, while the HG range (Horizontal Grinder) denotes large grinding units for wood and green waste; the added letters I, A and T mark the engine and drive type, and G2 indicates an updated design generation.

With gross weights from under one to 33 tonnes, the page covers the whole Vermeer line-up, from the small chipper towable by car to the large grinding unit for composting and wood processing; Vermeer, alongside Bandit and Doppstadt, is one of the leading brands worldwide in this segment, sold through a worldwide dealer network.
On a used machine, check the condition of the blades or hammers and their mountings, wear on the infeed rollers and drum, the operating hours and condition of the engine and hydraulic pump, the operation of the safety cut-out at the infeed chute, and the condition of the chassis axle, brakes and tyres; on the large HG units, also check the tracked undercarriage or tow drawbar and the remote control. Parts run through the Vermeer dealer network.

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.
