Forestor CTR 1000 H 40 Sawmill 

The CTR 1000 H40 is perfectly suited to UK hardwood species such as oak, ash and sweet chestnut, as well as high volume softwood processing. Its heavy duty hydraulic system ensures safe handling of oversized estate timber and storm damaged logs.. 

 

The Forestor CTR 1000 H 40 is a high capacity hydraulic bandsaw sawmill engineered for professional timber processors handling oversized hardwood and softwood logs. Designed and manufactured by Pilous, this industrial grade sawmill combines massive structural rigidity, full hydraulic log handling and precision digital control to deliver fast, accurate and repeatable cutting in demanding production environments. 

 

With the ability to process logs up to 1000 mm diameter, the CTR 1000 H 40 is purpose built for estate sawmills, commercial timber operations and high value slab production where performance and reliability are critical. 

 

 

The CTR 1000 H 40 is equipped with a fully integrated hydraulic system, enabling: 

 

This allows a single operator to position and secure heavy logs safely and efficiently, significantly increasing throughput compared to manual sawmills. 

 

The reinforced saw head and bridge are engineered for non stop operation. The heavy duty frame reduces vibration, ensuring: 

 

This structural integrity is critical when cutting large oak, beech or other dense hardwoods common in UK forestry applications. 

 

A large colour touchscreen measuring system allows operators to: 

 

This reduces operator error, improves consistency and speeds up production cycles. 

 

Unlike circular sawmills, the CTR 1000 H 40 uses narrow band technology, delivering: 

 

For commercial sawmills, this translates directly into increased return on investment. 

 

 

The hydraulic head positioning system allows smooth and accurate thickness setting, ideal for producing: 

 

Digital or scale based measurement systems support repeatable production accuracy. 

 

A high output main motor provides sufficient torque for cutting hardwood and oversized logs without stalling, maintaining productivity even in demanding applications. 

 

For operations processing longer timber, track extensions can be added to accommodate increased log length, providing flexibility as your business grows. 

 

The Forestor CTR 1000 H 40 is ideal for: 

 

Its hydraulic configuration makes it particularly suited for operators handling large diameter logs regularly.
