The Bandit Intimidator™ 12X leads the way as the most compact drum-style chipper in the Bandit line-up. Specifically engineered for tree care professionals who require a 12-inch capacity machine that is easy to tow and manoeuvre on tight Irish residential sites, the 12X does not compromise on performance. Featuring a large 24-inch diameter drum and a powerful feed system, this machine provides the aggressive pulling power needed to process forked limbs and brush, making it a highly productive and cost-effective addition to any fleet in Belfast, Dublin, or beyond.
The Bandit Intimidator™ 12X is the definitive choice for arborists across Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland seeking a lightweight yet rugged 12-inch capacity chipper. Weighing significantly less than other machines in its class (approx. 4,400–4,800 lbs), the 12X is easily towable by standard utility vehicles, reducing fuel costs and improving site access. At its heart is a 24-inch diameter chipping drum, which creates higher centrifugal force than smaller drums, ensuring material is processed rapidly and discharged with high velocity to pack chip trailers tight.
