From Standing Timber to Clean Boards —
The New LogPro Sawmills by Nukor
|
In forestry and sawmilling, adaptability is everything. Logs aren’t always where the power is — and production doesn’t stop just because conditions change. That’s where the new LogPro portable sawmill range comes into its own.
Designed for professionals who need dependable performance in the field, LogPro combines precision engineering with practical design in a truly mobile solution. Whether milling on a farm, at a harvesting site, or supporting a small commercial operation, LogPro allows you to convert logs into high-quality lumber efficiently, accurately, and on your terms.
|
Reliable, Rugged, and Ready for the Field
The LogPro range includes three models — NUK-26G, NUK-31G, and NUK-36G — each available in petrol or electric, making them suitable for both off-grid and workshop environments.The NUK-26G is a compact, easy-to-move sawmill, well suited to smaller jobs and on-site milling.The NUK-31G offers increased power and capacity for operators looking to step up production, while the NUK-36G is built for larger logs and higher output, featuring faster cutting speeds, an adjustable blade guide, and a quick-lock log clamp to improve accuracy and reduce setup time. |
|
|
| Across the range, LogPro sawmills are built for smooth, consistent cutting, solid stability, quick setup, and long-term reliability — dependable machines designed to make every day sawmilling simpler and more efficient. |
|
|
Designed for Accuracy and Control
Precision matters, particularly when maximizing timber yield. With controlled blade speed, stable blade guidance, and secure log clamping systems, LogPro delivers clean, straight cuts and consistent results across a wide range of timber sizes and species.
For operators, this means:
- Less waste
- Better board quality
- Improved productivity per log
|
|
Portable Power, Backed by Experience
LogPro is more than a portable sawmill — it is supported by decades of industry knowledge, local expertise, and after-sales service. From operator training to spare parts availability, the focus is on keeping machines productive long after installation.
|
| Solid steel bandwheels, supported by cleaning brushes, ensure smooth operation and consistent blade tracking. |
|
The integrated blade tension gauge makes setup simple and repeatable.
|
|
Wherever the Logs Are — LogPro Is Ready
Forestry doesn’t happen in one place — and now, neither does your sawmill. LogPro delivers professional sawmilling performance wherever the job takes you.
