Wood-Mizer Adds WIDE Option to Popular LT15CLASSIC Mobile Sawmill

The popular, versatile, and compact LT15 sawmill series expands with the introduction of the LT15CLASSIC WIDE Mobile, which combines the features of the mobile LT15 sawmill with a wider sawhead. “It makes an interesting offer for companies and individuals who need to cut larger logs away from their sawmilling workshops. The LT15CLASSIC WIDE Mobile sawmill has been built based on proven and reliable engineering designs from the proven LT15 models, which have earned worldwide recognition among users,” says Hubert Powietrzyński, Sales Manager at Wood-Mizer.  
 
The LT15CLASSIC WIDE Mobile features a portable chassis for transporting to any place, allowing you to start sawmilling immediately. To start sawmilling, the user only needs to remove the fenders, unlock the protection securing the sawhead during transportation, and level the bed against the ground. 

The chassis design is based on the S3 type bed, consisting of 3 segments, each 1,95 m long. The sawmill bed is fitted with six standard side supports and three manual log clamps for securing the log. The standard bed configuration of the LT15CLASSIC WIDE Mobile sawmill allows you to cut logs up to a maximum of 5,2 m. For more efficient log loading, the sawmill can be equipped with a set of loading ramps with a manual winch. A standard log wedge allows for efficient leveling and positioning of any tapered logs. 
 
The LT15CLASSIC WIDE Mobile comes with a trailer package (up to 1500 kg), including an axle with wheels, a hitch with a support wheel, eight adjustable outriggers, a light bar, side positioning lights, and fences. The sawmill bed sections have been redesigned and strengthened for increased integration with the chassis, while the electrical wires are secured under special covers. 

Another essential feature of the LT15CLASSIC WIDE Mobile is a wider sawhead which allows for sawing logs with a maximum diameter of 90 cm, making this model the largest capacity sawmill in the entire LT15 sawmill range. The clearance between blade rollers increased to 88 cm, allowing for sawing cants with a maximum width of 82 cm and the maximum thickness of the board at 27 cm. A redesigned sawhead to cut wider logs requires 4470 mm long sawmill blades fed on the standard 483 mm band wheels. The original Wood-Mizer 32-35 mm wide sawmill blades allow productive and economical sawmilling. With the thin-kerf technology, the operator can produce much more timber from every log while generating a reduced amount of sawdust.   

Smarter and faster sawmilling is possible with efficient and compact main power units – either the 11 kW electric motor or the 25 HP gasoline engine. 

In the standard configuration, the LT15CLASSIC WIDE Mobile sawmill features the electric up/down feed system and manual forward/reverse, which can be upgraded to the electric power feed version. The blade guide arm is operated manually, while the blade cleaning system keeps it in a better condition for longer, allowing for higher precision and efficiency. The sawhead can be equipped with operator controls for automatic thickness calculation (Setwork SW10), adding more comfort and precision to the sawmilling process. A highly recommended accessory is also a debarker for extended blade life, particularly when the user often mills dirty logs.   

The LT15CLASSIC WIDE Mobile sawmill is now available in select markets and offered with a 2-year Wood-Mizer warranty. Contact your local Wood-Mizer representative for more information and to order.
