Forestor CTR 1300 H 60/80 

The CTR 1300 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 1300 H is one of the largest and most powerful hydraulic bandsaw sawmills in the Forestor range. Designed for extra large diameter log processing up to 1300 mm, this machine is built for serious commercial timber production where capacity, strength and precision are non negotiable. 

 

Manufactured in Europe and supplied in the UK by SAWS UK, the CTR 1300 H 60/80 is purpose built for commercial sawmills, large estates and professional timber processors cutting high value hardwood and structural timber. 

 

When standard sawmills reach their limit, the CTR 1300 H 60/80 continues. With the ability to process logs up to 1300 mm diameter, this machine is ideal for: 

 

The generous blade guide opening and reinforced bridge construction ensure stability even on extreme diameter logs. 

 

Handling 1 metre plus logs manually is not practical. The CTR 1300 H 60/080 features comprehensive hydraulic control including: 

 

This allows a single operator to safely position, rotate and secure heavy logs with precision while significantly increasing daily throughput. 

 

The integrated colour touchscreen control system allows operators to: 

 

This ensures consistent cutting accuracy, reduces operator error and improves production efficiency. 

For commercial timber operations, repeatability is critical to profitability. 

 

The CTR 1300 H 60/80 is engineered with: 

 

This reduces vibration, extends blade life and ensures accurate cutting even during continuous operation. 

This is a true industrial hydraulic sawmill, not a light duty machine. 

 

Unlike circular sawmills, the CTR 1300 H 60/80 uses narrow band blade technology, delivering: 

 

For high value oak or hardwood slab production, this significantly improves margins. 

 

Available with powerful motor configurations designed for: 

 

The powerful main drive ensures consistent cutting speed even under heavy load conditions. 

 

The modular track system allows: 

 

This makes the CTR 1300 H suitable as part of a complete industrial sawmill production line. 

 

 

If you are searching for a large diameter hydraulic sawmill in the UK, the CTR 1300 H 60/80 represents one of the highest capacity options available.
