2021 CBI 5400B Horizontal Grinder

Stock #MM262508-2

This 2021 CBI 5400B is a track-mounted grinder built around field-swappable rotors, letting one machine handle everything from clean mulch production to contaminated demolition debris and railroad ties.

Who This Machine Is For

• Land clearing and forestry operations — swap in the forged drum rotor for mulch, hog fuel, and clean wood processing.
• C&D and demolition recyclers — the solid steel rotor is built specifically for contaminated debris and railroad ties with tie plates still attached.
• Biomass and fuel chip producers — the 2- and 4-pocket chipper rotors switch the machine into fuel chip production without a separate chipper.
• Operators who need one machine to cover multiple material streams — rotor changes let a single grinder replace what would otherwise take two or three dedicated machines.

What It Grinds

• Clean wood, stumps, and forestry debris — handled by the forged drum rotor.
• Contaminated C&D debris and railroad ties — the solid steel rotor is purpose-built for tramp metal exposure.
• Stem wood for fuel chips — the chipper rotor options produce consistent chip sizing.

This is not a fixed-configuration machine — output and application depend entirely on which rotor is installed, so confirm which rotor(s) come with this unit before you buy.

Specs in Plain Language

Power comes from a CAT C18 diesel, a common choice in this size class of horizontal grinder. The 5400B's defining feature is its field-swappable rotor system — up to five different rotors let the same machine grind, mulch, or chip depending on which one is installed. It also includes a metal detection system that automatically raises the feed roller and reverses infeed when the rotor contacts tramp metal, protecting the mill from damage. Being track-mounted, it repositions on job sites without a separate trailer. No hour reading was provided for this unit, so ask us for current hours before you buy.
