L-M Equipment Co. (1981) Ltd.

L-M Equipment manufactures electric chain deck saws and pond
saws
for the forest industry.

Deck saws with sawbars of up to 12 feet in length are used to
cut
the largest of logs, and are also used to split logs length-ways
so
they can be introduced into the mill flow and processed with
smaller capacity equipment. Hydraulic crossaxe logsplitters
with
up to 80,000 pounds thrust are offered, to split logs up to 10
feet
in length.

To assist shake and shingle mills to handle larger logs, L-M
manufactures log decks, special log stops, log lifts, log
clamps,
block lifters and pantograph block splitters to produce shake
blocks. When the market required a high-speed shake resaw, L-M
offered the model RS42-B, a redesigned 42

Chain Cut-off Saws

Swing Saws
Swing saws are manufactured from 48' diameter to 108' diameter to cut logs up to 47' diameter with a cycle time of approximately 5.6 seconds.

Package Cutoff Saws -
Several years ago L-M introduced a new way of cutting packages of finished lumber, when they introduced three models of the L-M Package cutoff saws, with seven foot saw bars, precision sawchain and a guide arch. Later more speed and accuracy was required and the Verticut package saw was introduced. This is the most accurate and high tech package cutoff saw, offering digital length readout, PLC controlled preprogrammed saw cycling, laser light saw position indicator and inline package squaring.

Chop Saws
As the logs got smaller and demand for speed increased, more and more circular cutoff saws were manufactured. L-M has a complete line of chop saws 48' up to 84' in diameter from simple air operated saws to sophisticated hydraulically operated saws with integral log lifts and automatic hold down guards that serve both as saw guard and log hold down.

Log Splitters
Hydraulic crossaxe logsplitters with up to 80,000 pounds thrust are offered, to split logs up to 10 feet in length.
