Linear Positioning Carriage – Model LP380

The Cleereman Model LP380 linear positioning carriage has become a popular upgrade for set-shaft carriage owners. Quick, accurate knee control and smooth tapering will pay off immediately through increased production and yield.

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
  • The bunks are fabricated from 5/8” steel and utilize 5/8” alloy wear plates — Long-lasting, can be replaced to extend overall carriage life
  • Knees are precision fabricated from 1” steel bases and 3/4” solid steel uprights – 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.
  • T1 alloy steel tong-dogs — Holds log firmly in place for sure positioning – cuts down to a 1” backing board.
