Post & Pole Peelers

 

Post and small Pole Peelers

Originally designed for peeling small-lot farm fence posts, Morbark NZ’s post and small pole peelers have evolved through continuous development to deliver improved finishing quality, increased efficiency, and consistent performance.

Now widely utilised across multiple industries, these machines are well-suited to applications including fencing, landscaping, and marine use—providing reliable peeling of small-diameter roundwood with reduced fibre damage and high-quality surface finish.

Pole Peelers

Morbark NZ’s specialised range of pole peelers is engineered for the efficient processing of large-diameter, long-length roundwood. Designed for smooth, consistent peeling, these machines are ideal for producing power poles, retaining wall timbers, and marine piles.

Built for durability and high production environments, Morbark NZ pole peelers deliver reliable performance, precise material handling, and superior surface finish across demanding industrial applications.

Auxiliary Equipment

Morbark NZ offers a comprehensive range of auxiliary equipment to support efficient, end-to-end roundwood processing. Designed for seamless integration with post and pole peeling systems, these components improve material flow, reduce manual handling, and enhance overall production efficiency.

Available options include:

  • Infeed and outfeed decks – Engineered for controlled log presentation and smooth material transfer
  • Cut-to-length systems – Deliver accurate, consistent log sizing to meet production requirements
  • Pole step feeders – Provide controlled, step-by-step feeding for improved processing accuracy and operator safety
  • Waste conveyors – Efficiently remove bark and debris to maintain a clean and continuous operation

 

Each component is built for durability and reliability in demanding environments, enabling flexible system configurations from standalone units to fully integrated processing lines.
