Forestor CTR 1000 H 60/80

Built for UK Timber Processing

The CTR 1000 H 60/80 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 60/80 is one of the most powerful hydraulic bandsaw sawmills in the Forestor range. Designed for continuous industrial timber production, this machine is engineered to process oversized hardwood logs with maximum precision, efficiency and structural stability.

Manufactured in Europe and supplied in the UK by SAWS UK, the CTR 1000 H 60/80 is purpose built for commercial sawmills, large estates and professional timber processors cutting high value hardwood and structural timber.

Designed for Serious Timber Production

1000 mm Log Diameter Capacity

The CTR 1000 H 60/80 is designed for cutting large diameter logs up to 1000 mm, making it ideal for:

Oak beam production

Large section structural timber

Live edge slab milling

Railway sleepers

Estate hardwood processing

The wide throat opening and increased blade support ensure stability when cutting oversized material.

60 mm / 80 mm Wide Blade Platform

Unlike smaller hydraulic sawmills, the 60/80 specification refers to the wider blade format, delivering:

Increased cutting stability

Reduced blade deflection

Improved accuracy on deep cuts

Better performance in dense hardwood

For high volume oak, beech or chestnut processing, this wider blade system provides a clear productivity advantage.

Full Hydraulic Log Handling as Standard

This is a true industrial hydraulic sawmill, equipped with:

Hydraulic log clamps

Hydraulic log turners

Tilting angle bars

Hydraulic log levelling

Motor powered feed

Motor powered head lift

These features allow a single operator to process large logs safely and efficiently while significantly reducing manual handling time.

Advanced Digital Measuring & Automation

The integrated colour touchscreen measuring system allows operators to:

Programme fixed or variable board thickness

Store commonly used dimensions

Automate head return

Optimise cutting sequences

This reduces operator error, improves repeatability and increases daily output.

For commercial sawmills, consistency equals profitability.

Narrow Kerf Bandsaw Technology

The CTR 1000 H 60/80 uses narrow band technology, delivering:

Lower kerf loss than circular sawmills

Higher timber recovery

Reduced waste

Greater yield per log

For businesses cutting high value hardwood, this significantly improves return on investment.

Built for Continuous Industrial Operation

With its reinforced bridge construction and heavy duty frame, this machine is engineered for:

Non stop production environments

Reduced vibration

Extended blade life

Long service intervals

This is not a light duty estate sawmill. It is designed for industrial throughput.

High Power Motor Options

Available with high output motor configurations suited for:

Dense hardwood

Stellite tipped blades

Deep slab cutting

Large diameter logs

The powerful hydraulic unit ensures smooth and precise log positioning even when handling irregular or tapered timber.

Modular & Expandable System

The modular bed design allows:

Track extensions

Conveyor integration

Sorting tables

Full board handling systems

Expanded hydraulic accessories

This allows the CTR 1000 H 60/80 to become part of a complete sawmill production line.

Ideal Applications

This machine is ideal for:

Commercial hardwood sawmills

Timber frame manufacturers

Large scale forestry contractors

Oak beam specialists

Structural timber producers

Estate timber processing operations
