Rates, walking floor trailers, particle sizes and price tables<\/h2>\n<p>In 2026, transporting wood chips within Poland costs on average <strong>5-10 PLN net per km<\/strong> on domestic routes with a walking floor semi-trailer, or <strong>100-180 PLN net per tonne<\/strong> for dry W20 chips. What you pay depends heavily on moisture content: dry chips (W20-W30) are lighter, which means a lower cost per tonne but a higher cost per MWh of energy delivered. Wet chips (W45-W55) are heavier, so they are cheaper per tonne, but they need more trips to deliver the same amount of energy.<\/p>\n<p>In this article you will find rate tables by route and moisture content, an overview of vehicle types (walking floor vs tipper), the particle size classes of EN ISO 17225-4 and what they mean for logistics, 7 factors that affect the price, a calculation formula with three worked examples, and a comparison of transport costs for wood chips, pellets and sawdust.<\/p>\n<h2>How much does wood chip transport cost in 2026? Rates per km and per tonne<\/h2>\n<p>The two tables below show current price ranges. The cost of moving wood chips depends on both the length of the route and the moisture content of the material, because moisture directly determines how many tonnes the vehicle can actually carry.<\/p>\n<p><!-- TABELA 1: Stawki za km --><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-weight: bold; color: #1e3a8a; margin-bottom: 8px;\">Table 1: Wood chip transport cost per km by route length (2026, PLN net)<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 0.96em; margin-bottom: 6px;\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"background-color: #1e3a8a; color: #ffffff; padding: 10px 14px; text-align: left; font-weight: 600; border: 1px solid #bfdbfe;\">Route length<\/th>\n<th style=\"background-color: #1e3a8a; color: #ffffff; padding: 10px 14px; text-align: left; font-weight: 600; border: 1px solid #bfdbfe;\">Vehicle type<\/th>\n<th style=\"background-color: #1e3a8a; color: #ffffff; padding: 10px 14px; text-align: left; font-weight: 600; border: 1px solid #bfdbfe;\">Rate per km<\/th>\n<th style=\"background-color: #1e3a8a; color: #ffffff; padding: 10px 14px; text-align: left; font-weight: 600; border: 1px solid #bfdbfe;\">Notes<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"background-color: #dbeafe; padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #bfdbfe; vertical-align: top;\">under 50 km<\/td>\n<td style=\"background-color: #dbeafe; padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #bfdbfe; vertical-align: top;\">tipper or walking floor<\/td>\n<td style=\"background-color: #dbeafe; padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #bfdbfe; vertical-align: top;\"><strong>8-10 PLN\/km<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"background-color: #dbeafe; padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #bfdbfe; vertical-align: top;\">minimum charge per trip: 600-1,000 PLN<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"background-color: #eff6ff; padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #bfdbfe; vertical-align: top;\">50-150 km<\/td>\n<td style=\"background-color: #eff6ff; padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #bfdbfe; vertical-align: top;\">walking floor (moving floor)<\/td>\n<td style=\"background-color: #eff6ff; padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #bfdbfe; vertical-align: top;\"><strong>6-8 PLN\/km<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"background-color: #eff6ff; padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #bfdbfe; vertical-align: top;\">optimal range for biomass<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"background-color: #dbeafe; padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #bfdbfe; vertical-align: top;\">150-300 km<\/td>\n<td style=\"background-color: #dbeafe; padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #bfdbfe; vertical-align: top;\">walking floor or half-pipe tipper<\/td>\n<td style=\"background-color: #dbeafe; padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #bfdbfe; vertical-align: top;\"><strong>5-7 PLN\/km<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"background-color: #dbeafe; padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #bfdbfe; vertical-align: top;\">full semi-trailer of 80-90 m\u00b3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"background-color: #eff6ff; padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #bfdbfe; vertical-align: top;\">over 300 km<\/td>\n<td style=\"background-color: #eff6ff; padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #bfdbfe; vertical-align: top;\">walking floor<\/td>\n<td style=\"background-color: #eff6ff; padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #bfdbfe; vertical-align: top;\"><strong>4.50-6 PLN\/km<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"background-color: #eff6ff; padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #bfdbfe; vertical-align: top;\">economies of scale<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 0.85em; color: #555; font-style: italic; margin-top: 4px; margin-bottom: 2em;\">* Net rates for 2026.

Always price wood chip transport in PLN\/MWh, not just in PLN\/t.<\/p>\n<h2>What are wood chips and when do you need specialist transport?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Wood chips are small pieces of wood produced by chipping branches, sawmill residues, energy wood or logging residues.<\/strong> As a solid biofuel they fall under the PN-EN ISO 17225-4 standard, which classifies them by particle size, moisture content and purity.<\/p>\n<p>The main uses of wood chips are <strong>municipal and industrial heating plants and combined heat and power (CHP) plants (the largest bulk buyers), biomass boilers in homes, schools and hospitals (G30\/G50 particle size), pellet and briquette production as a raw material for pelletising, animal bedding (bark chips), as well as composting facilities and land reclamation.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Because wood chips are bulky and free-flowing, the cost of transporting them depends largely on the choice of vehicle. A standard tarpaulin trailer or reefer is out of the question. You need a walking floor semi-trailer or a tipper, and the choice between the two has a direct impact on the number of trips and the price per tonne.<\/p>\n<p style=\"background-color: #eff6ff; border-left: 4px solid #3b82f6; padding: 14px 18px; margin: 1.5em 0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 0.97em;\"><strong>BDO (Polish waste register) and wood chip transport:<\/strong> Chips made from commercial timber (sawmill, forest, energy plantation) are a product, not waste, so BDO registration is not required. Chips from urban green-space maintenance or from scrapped furniture and pallets may count as waste (code 20 02 01 or 03 01 05) and require a waste transfer note (KPO) issued in the <a href=\"https:\/\/bdo.mos.gov.pl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BDO system (bdo.mos.gov.pl)<\/a>.

Large CHP plants can accept M55, while small boiler houses usually require M30 or lower.<\/p>\n<p>Why do particle size and moisture matter when planning transport? Dry G30\/G50 chips (W20-W30) from sawmills are lighter, so a walking floor trailer carries 12-18 t. Wet G100 chips (W40-W55) from the forest are heavier and the vehicle carries 22-28 t. Under contracts with CHP plants, the driver may be required to hand over a quality certificate (moisture, particle size) together with the WZ (Polish goods dispatch note) or the CMR consignment note. Chips that do not meet the particle size specification can be rejected at unloading, which means the whole load goes back to the shipper at the shipper&#8217;s expense.<\/p>\n<h2>Which vehicle is used to transport wood chips?

Tipper: 5-10 minutes. With hundreds of trips a month, unloading time has a significant effect on vehicle turnaround.<\/p>\n<p>Why does the walking floor dominate wood chip transport? Dry chips (W20) have a density of approx. 0.20-0.25 t\/m\u00b3. A 90 m\u00b3 walking floor trailer carries approx. 18-22 t and is full by volume. A 55 m\u00b3 half-pipe tipper carries approx. 12 t of the same chips. One walking floor trip therefore replaces approx. 1.5-1.6 tipper trips, which directly lowers the cost per tonne. CHP plants often have silos and bunkers that a tipper cannot reach, while a walking floor discharges the material horizontally straight into the reception hall.<\/p>\n<h2>What affects the price of wood chip transport in 2026? 7 key factors<\/h2>\n<p>The cost of wood chip transport depends on several variables, each of which can raise or lower the final price by 15-40%.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>1. Moisture content.<\/strong> This is the most important factor when pricing wood chip transport per tonne. W50 chips have a density of approx. 0.40 t\/m\u00b3, so a 90 m\u00b3 trailer quickly hits the weight limit set by GVW (24 t) before it is full. W20 chips have a density of approx. 0.22 t\/m\u00b3 and the trailer is full by volume at just 20 t. With dry chips you pay more per trip and more per tonne, but you deliver more energy. With wet chips it is the other way round.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Vehicle type.<\/strong> A walking floor trailer costs more to buy and lease than a tipper, so its base rate is 10-20% higher. However, its larger capacity (90 m\u00b3 vs 55 m\u00b3) means that with light, dry chips one walking floor trip replaces 1.5-1.6 tipper trips. The cost per tonne is then lower despite the higher rate per km.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Route length and vehicle availability in the region.<\/strong> Below 50 km, a minimum charge of 600-1,000 PLN applies. On 50-200 km routes the rate is 6-8 PLN\/km. Above 200 km it levels off at 5-6 PLN\/km. Walking floor trailers are harder to find in any given region than tippers, which pushes rates up in areas with a small biomass fleet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. e-TOLL charges in 2026.<\/strong> From 1 February 2026, e-TOLL rates rose by 40-42% and the tolled road network in Poland grew by 645 km. A walking floor trailer with a tractor unit at a GVW of approx. 40 t falls into the high charge band. On a 200 km route with tolled sections, e-TOLL comes to approx. 250-380 PLN, which adds approx. 1.25-1.90 PLN\/km to the effective rate. You can check current rates in the calculator at <a href=\"https:\/\/etoll.gov.pl\/system-e-toll\/stawki-i-platnosci\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">etoll.gov.pl<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Loading and unloading.<\/strong> Loading with a wheel loader on the client&#8217;s side is usually included in the rate. Loading by conveyor from a storage yard or directly from a mobile forest chipper does not incur extra charges if it takes no more than 30 minutes. Beyond that, carriers charge a waiting fee of 100-200 PLN\/h. Unloading into a silo with a walking floor takes 20-35 minutes, which limits vehicle turnaround when trip volumes are high.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Seasonality.<\/strong> Winter (October-March) is peak season for biomass fuel. Higher demand with the same number of vehicles available drives rates up by 10-15%. Spring and summer bring lower demand and a chance to renegotiate contracts. Harvest time (July-August) carries a risk of higher rates, because agriculture competes for the same vehicles.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. Annual contract vs spot order.<\/strong> A long-term contract for, say, 1,000 trips a year usually gets you a rate 10-20% lower than a one-off order on a freight exchange. Municipal heating plants tender their biomass transport every year. It pays to negotiate a full-year package in summer, when rates are lower and vehicles easier to secure.

Always check the waste status of the material with the producer before ordering wood chip transport.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-287813373 > .col-inner {\n  margin: -30px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\n<style>\n#row-833306929 > .col > .col-inner {\n  padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #row-833306929 > .col > .col-inner {\n    padding: 30px 30px 30px 30px;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_1911170212 {\n  padding-top: 60px;\n  padding-bottom: 60px;\n  background-color: rgb(255,255,255);\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n\n\n\n<div class=\"kk-star-ratings kksr-auto kksr-align-center kksr-valign-bottom\"\n    data-payload='{&quot;align&quot;:&quot;center&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;9218&quot;,&quot;slug&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;valign&quot;:&quot;bottom&quot;,&quot;ignore&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;reference&quot;:&quot;auto&quot;,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;count&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;legendonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;readonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;score&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;starsonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;best&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;gap&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;greet&quot;:&quot;Customer reviews&quot;,&quot;legend&quot;:&quot;0\\\/5 - (0 votes)&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;How much does wood chip transport cost in 2026?&quot;,&quot;width&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;_legend&quot;:&quot;{score}\\\/{best} - ({count} {votes})&quot;,&quot;font_factor&quot;:&quot;1.25&quot;}'>\n            \n<div class=\"kksr-stars\">\n    \n<div class=\"kksr-stars-inactive\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"1\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 0px; height: 0px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"2\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 0px; height: 0px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"3\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 0px; height: 0px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"4\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 0px; height: 0px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"5\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 0px; height: 0px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n<div class=\"kksr-stars-active\" style=\"width: 0px;\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 0px; height: 0px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 0px; height: 0px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 0px; height: 0px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 0px; height: 0px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 0px; height: 0px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n                \n\n<div class=\"kksr-legend\" style=\"font-size: 0px;\">\n            <span class=\"kksr-muted\">Customer reviews<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Supplying biomass to a heating plant or looking for a carrier with a walking floor trailer, and not sure what wood chip transport will cost in 2026?
