Palax KS 45s is a chainsaw machine that splits 45 cm thick logs with a force up to 18 tons.
The machine offers the largest splitting thickness and the strongest power of the Palax range. It is best suited for a professional who processes logs of large and variable diameter.

Palax KS 45s is available either as a tractor powered model or a hybrid (tractor/electric motor).
The machine has a 3-point linkage to the tractor.

The Palax KS 45s machine has an efficient 20″ sawbar with automatic lubrication.
A three-speed intelligent PowerSpeed splitting cylinder automatically recognizes the required splitting force and speed: the result is up to 30% faster work cycle.

Compatible accessories

Palax Midi

Palax Midi is at its best in scalability: it feeds both large-sized and short logs under 2 m, when you choose an extra chain beam as an accessory. The in-feed table holds eight cubic meters of wood.

Palax Mega

Our largest in-feed table, Palax Mega, is an excellent choice especially for large logs, from 2.5 meters up to 5 meters. The log deck can handle 12 cubic meters of wood, so it is best suited for feeding large quantities of logs.
