Description
The Forestwest BM11046 26 Ton Kinetic Log Splitter is a heavy-duty electric splitter designed for customers who need significantly more splitting capacity than a typical domestic electric machine while still preferring electric power.
Powered by a 3500W 15A electric motor, the BM11046 generates up to 26 tons of splitting force with an average cycle time of approximately 3 seconds. Its kinetic flywheel system provides fast repetitive splitting without a conventional hydraulic pump, hoses or hydraulic oil system.
The BM11046 accommodates logs up to 710mm long, with a recommended diameter of 100–500mm. It has been tested with Australian hardwoods including Jarrah, Gum, Red Gum, White Gum, Salmon Gum, Wandoo and Tuart.
Please note: The BM11046 requires a compliant 15A power outlet and cannot be connected directly to a standard 10A socket.
