Air Setwork Carriages – Model AS420

The AS420 is the original hybrid. Designed with your future in mind, this carriage is built as an economical air-set carriage, but with the ability to convert to hydraulic proportional or even linear positioning at a later date. Perfect for start up operations working within tight budgets, it also adds value if sold used, allowing potential buyers to easily get the exact style of carriage desired.

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

Other Air Setwork Carriages

  • Built from heavy-duty, thick-wall structural steel components – 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 360 and 380 Series – 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
  • Adjustable rack and pinion knee positioning – Precise, eliminates excessive maintenance of chain drives
  • 1” Thick T1 alloy steel tong-dogs are center mounted within the knees – Increased accuracy from exceptional positioning and security.
  • Standard 5 ½ HP air motor is precise and faster than the standard motor – Accurate lumber, higher production.
  • 15 to 1 reducer and air brake transmission system – fast and accurate positioning, high production, straight lumber
  • 5 easily adjusted automatic lumber thickness set points – Product flexibility, easy to use
  • Large, easy-to-read dial – Clearly indicates knee position for quick cutting decisions
