La tête d'ébranchage est montée soit sur le châssis d'une machine (JD743), soit sur une flèche télescopique (Timberjack) ou coulissante (Harricana), soit sur une flèche articulée (Koehring). Son alimentation peut être produite par le déplacement de l'arbre à l'intérieur de la tête, ou encore par le déplacement de la tête d'ébranchage par rapport à l'arbre immobilisé. 2, record 3, French, - unit%C3%A9%20d%27%C3%A9branchage

Dans la pratique, on emploie presque indifféremment tête d'ébranchage et tête d'ébranchage-écimage, car l'écimage est généralement automatique et synchronisé avec le mécanisme d'ébranchage. Toutefois, il est utile de conserver les deux appellations, car il peut arriver qu'une tête d'ébranchage n'écime pas, comme il peut arriver qu'on veuille insister sur le fait que la tête d'ébranchage est aussi écimeuse. 2, record 3, French, - unit%C3%A9%20d%27%C3%A9branchage
