Portable Sawmills? It’s literally our middle name. Our history began as necessity – a young family surrounded by trees in a remote jungle, with no way to convert those into a home. Since 1989, when we introduced the world’s first portable sawmill, Peterson’s has been leading the way in portable sawmill innovation. Over the past 30 years, our portable sawmill range has become more versatile and efficient than ever.
Peterson Portable sawmills are easy to transport, set up, and can be operated by just one person. Yes, we have models operating in remote jungles around the world. This sets Peterson apart from the competition. Only the highest quality materials are used, and the mills are made to be compact yet powerful.
Peterson’s portable sawmill range is designed to be user-friendly and versatile. They can be transported in small trailers, on pickup trucks, or even in tiny boats. We’ve even heard of them being moved with donkeys and horses in remote areas.
Once at the site, the lightweight design and innovative jockey wheel system makes positioning the mill easy.
The main benefit of a portable sawmill is that it allows you to take the mill to the logs. This avoids the hassle of extracting and moving large logs and reduces transportation and heavy machinery costs. This Portability offers convenience and efficiency.
For hobbyists and property owners, a portable sawmill turns fallen trees into valuable timber for projects or sale. This saves on removal costs and provides a valuable end product.
For professionals, having a portable sawmill means you can easily move between jobs, operate independently, and produce large amounts of timber. This increases your customer base and potential profits.
Portable Sawmills are also far more environmentally friendly than fixed site milling solutions.
With a portable sawmill, the mill can be carried to the milling site by hand where logs can be felled selectively. Roads do not need to be constructed to haul a mass amount of logs out, and the undergrowth is largely left intact with no erosion created.
Mature trees within set plots can be earmarked for harvesting, allowing smaller trees to continue growing sustainably. Windblown trees can be turned into lumber without damaging those still growing around them.
A Forest-Friendly Portable Sawmill such as the Peterson ATS has the capability of milling a production amount of timber while remaining environmentally friendly.
With its portability, efficiency, and versatility, Peterson’s selection is easily the best portable sawmill range available on the market. If you want to own a portable sawmill, contact us today!
