Linear Positioning Carriage – Model LP420

The Model LP420 sawmill carriage is designed for operations that require heavy-duty equipment, but don’t want to pull extra weight. This energy efficient workhorse is engineered to stand up to the punishment of a high production mill.

Several options are available to meet your requirements for layout, production, log and cant turning, and maintenance.

Other Linear Positioning Carriages

  • Built from heavy-duty, thick-wall structural steel components, precision welded and machined — Rigid, accurate
  • Horizontal or Tilt Frame – Meets customer needs, easily integrated into existing systems
  • Two to five headblocks set at customer specified spacing – Meets customer needs for log lengths and mixes
  • Larger/heavier than the LP380 – Longer life, less maintenance, higher production
  • Heavy-duty fabricated 3/4” bunks utilize long lasting 5/8” alloy steel wear plates – can be replaced to extend overall carriage life
  • Knees are precision fabricated from 1” solid steel bases and two 1/2” side plates – longer lasting, more durable
  • Knees attach to bunks with a wrap-around mount for stability – extremely accurate lumber, high durability, less maintenance
  • Adjustable, replaceable synthetic wear strips on the top, bottom, and sides of knee mounts – maintains perfect fit, easy maintenance, long life
  • 5” stroke on dogs in and out position.
  • 1” thick T1 center-mounted alloy steel tong-dogs – Locks log firmly in place for sure positioning and cuts down to a 1” backing board.
  • Setworks Ready – Use the standard included PTJ setworks, or integrate it with any other setworks or optimization programs.
  • Premium quality components – Hold up in extreme sawmill environments for precise, trouble free operation.
  • 30 HP hydraulic power unit with 5 gallon accumulator, low and high pressure filters – smooth performance and recovery, increased production, low maintenance.
  • Engineered to be simple and efficient – Minimal training time, easy and comfortable to control.
