Woodbriar Group are the foremost designer and leading manufacturer of the "new age industrial log splitter" - a device created solely with the purpose of making easy the unenviable task of splitting logs to manageable and required sizes for bulk use.

Of the two stages in preparing logs for firewood, the cutting of logs to convenient lengths by hand or using power saws is relatively easy. However, the splitting of the logs is a time consuming and laborious exercise. The age-old splitting methods using wedges and axes is neither cost-effective nor time efficient by today's standards. Thus, comes into existence, the MEGA SPLITTER which is introduced by the Woodbriar Group whose primary objective was to develop a log splitter that is both inexpensive and user friendly i.e. easy to operate with the wherewithal to split a range of timbers.

Method of Splitting

There are 3 methods of splitting:

1. Mechanical
2. Pneumatic Impact
3. Hydraulic

Woodbriar Group's highly skilled team of designers and engineers chose the hydraulic method as the base for our design. The basic specification ruled out the first two systems in favor of the hydraulic method because the latter would provide better control of force dependability under "field conditions" and give improved efficiency. Two years of field testing of the prototype hydraulic cutter at industrial sites with extensive use (50,000 hours of use without service or repair / x tons of logs split ..???) has proven the success of this particular design which incorporates for the first time - a sharp wedge made of EN 47 J Spring steel against which the log would be forced by the ram, as shown in Figure:
