FORESTWEST | BM11130
1800W 10A Electric Motor | Approx. 2 Second Cycle
Compact low-profile design for fast and convenient home firewood processing.
The Forestwest BM11130 12 Ton Electric Kinetic Log Splitter is a compact and fast solution for regular household firewood processing. Powered by an 1800W 10A electric motor, its kinetic splitting system delivers up to 12 tons of splitting force with an average cycle time of approximately 2 seconds, allowing multiple logs to be processed with minimal waiting between splits. Unlike raised log splitters, the BM11130 features a low-profile splitting bed positioned close to the ground, reducing the need to lift heavy logs onto a higher working platform. It accommodates logs up to 400mm long with a recommended diameter range of 100–350mm and has been tested with Australian hardwood including Jarrah, Yellow Box and straight-grained Red Gum. With a compact footprint, transport wheels and a net weight of approximately 65kg, it is a practical choice for domestic firewood preparation where speed, simplicity and easy storage are important.
Delivers up to 12 tons of kinetic splitting force for regular household firewood and a range of Australian hardwoods.
The fast kinetic split-and-return action dramatically reduces waiting time between splits, helping process multiple logs efficiently.
Runs from a suitable 220–240V 10A power supply without the fuel, exhaust fumes or engine servicing associated with a petrol-powered splitter.
Keeps the working area close to ground level, reducing the need to lift heavy logs onto a raised splitter before processing.
Suitable for logs up to 400mm in length with a recommended diameter range of 100–350mm depending on timber species and condition.
Tested with Australian firewood including Jarrah, Yellow Box and straight-grained Red Gum.
The kinetic splitting mechanism operates without the hydraulic oil, pump and hoses used by conventional hydraulic splitters, simplifying routine maintenance.
The compact low-profile configuration takes up less space than larger stand-mounted splitters, making it practical for garages, sheds and home workshops.
Integrated transport wheels and a manageable 65kg net weight make it easier to reposition the splitter around the work area or move it into storage.
Ideal for regular household firewood preparation for wood heaters, fireplaces and outdoor fires.
Particularly useful when working with heavier logs, as the low-profile splitting bed reduces how far each log needs to be lifted before splitting.
Suitable for dry and seasoned Australian firewood, including hardwood such as Jarrah, Yellow Box and straight-grained Red Gum.
The compact electric design is well suited to residential properties with a suitable 10A mains power supply near the working area.
The rapid kinetic cycle makes repetitive preparation of seasoned winter firewood faster and more efficient.

*Actual splitting performance may vary depending on wood species, moisture content, grain, knots and overall log condition.
A kinetic log splitter stores energy in rotating flywheels and releases that energy rapidly through the splitting ram. This provides a much faster cycle than the slower movement typically associated with conventional hydraulic log splitters.
The splitting bed sits close to ground level, reducing the height that heavier logs need to be lifted before splitting. The compact configuration also makes the machine easier to store when not in use.
Both models use a 12 Ton kinetic splitting system with an 1800W 10A electric motor. The BM11130 has a compact low-profile design that reduces log lifting height, while the BM11130S adds a raised stand and front catch tray for users who prefer splitting at approximately waist height.
Yes. The BM11130 uses an 1800W, 220–240V 10A electric motor and is designed to operate from a suitable 10A power supply.
The BM11130 has an average cycle time of approximately 2 seconds, allowing multiple pieces of firewood to be processed efficiently with minimal waiting between splits.
The maximum log length is 400mm, with a recommended diameter range of 100–350mm. Actual splitting performance depends on timber species, moisture content, grain direction, knots and overall log condition.
Yes. The BM11130 has been tested with Australian hardwood including Jarrah, Yellow Box and straight-grained Red Gum. Dry and properly seasoned firewood is recommended for the best splitting performance.
No. The splitting mechanism uses kinetic energy stored in rotating flywheels rather than a conventional hydraulic pump, cylinder, hoses and hydraulic oil system.
Yes. Some assembly is required before operation. Please follow the supplied assembly and operating instructions and always wear appropriate safety equipment when using the machine.
