Winch Production Frame (WPF)


Fast product, accurate timber
The WPF was designed for fast production of high quality, extremely accurate timber, without having to invest in a commercial operation. If you’ve got a pile of logs at one site ready to be milled, then this mill is ideal for you. It is much the same mill as our fully automated mill, the ASM, but in manual mode. It has the capability to cut up to 8 cubic meters (3500bft) a day.**

Have extra big logs to mill? The WPF is also available with a Giant Frame upgrade for those large diameter logs, making it a customer favourite for versatility.

Easy Set-up

Setting up the WPF is a simple process that usually takes one person about 10 – 25 minutes and around 5 – 10 minutes for two people. The mill can be packed up within about 7 minutes.

1. Set up your skids at each end of the log.2. Place the track and levelers onto the skids. Ensure the tracks are parallel by looking along them at eye level.3. Wheel the carriage and place onto the tracks. Remove the jockey wheels. The sawing process can now begin. Diagram of the steps involved in setting up an WPF
