Optional equipment
4th stringer
Added 4th channel including 3 nailers in the 1st nailing machine and supports and 3 nailers in the 2nd nailing machine.
Branding
2 thermal branding heads. These are added on the chain conveyor right after the 2nd nailing machine.
Switch conveyor
By adding a switch conveyor, which will make the stack change direction by 90 degrees, the standard outfeed chain conveyor can be turned 90 degrees to the left or right. This makes it possible to unload two stacks at the same time.
Nail platform
By adding this platform, you can put a pallet of nails on the top, which makes it easy to refill the nail box. Max load on this platform is 3,307 lbs (1,500 kg).
Footprint
