When the demands for sawing require high production, productivity and heavy log handling, the new LT50 conquers the challenge. Featuring full hydraulic log handling controls and plenty of power, this industrious sawmill is the newest addition in the Wood-Mizer hydraulic mill line up.

The LT50 is powered by a diesel engine and can cut up to 650 board feet per hour. Combined with a heavy-duty monorail bed, the LT50 includes hydraulic loading arms, a pair of hydraulic roller toeboards, a hydraulic log clamp, and a hydraulic vertical side supports and a bi-directional chain turner. This chain turner works twice as fast as the standard steel claw turners and moves in both directions for added convenience.

Bringing even more controls to your fingertips, the Optional Command Control operator station gives professional sawyers easy access to all hydraulic controls and cutting functions such as board thickness and head movement speed. Accuset 2 and AutoClutch are included in the optional Command Control system for a package that has it all.

So, if you are focused on converting logs to lumber, the LT50 stands ready to saw.
