When severe weather strikes, the aftermath leaves communities with a daunting challenge: mountains of storm debris that need to be cleared quickly and safely. Fallen trees block roads, downed timber threatens power restoration, and waste piles up faster than local resources can manage. For government agencies tasked with leading recovery efforts, having the right equipment on hand makes all the difference.
That’s where CBI® grinders and chippers step in. Built for high production in the toughest conditions, CBI machines are trusted nationwide to turn storm debris into manageable, usable material. Whether it’s processing whole trees, mixed debris, or storm-damaged timber, CBI equipment delivers the throughput, consistency, and reliability needed to keep recovery moving.
CBI machines like the 6800 Horizontal Grinder and the 6400CT Horizontal Grinder have already proven themselves in disaster recovery. After Hurricane Milton in Florida, for example, a CBI 6800BT deployed by Powerscreen Florida helped process thousands of tons of wood debris, allowing crews to reopen roads and restore normal operations in record time.
