Pinnacle SA manufactures sawmill machinery and equipment that is easy to use and maintain.
Pinnacle SA have a full range of sawmills for sale.
Our sawmill machinery solutions range from 100 m3 to 1000 m3. We specialise in bandsaw and circular saw combinations for smaller and medium-sized logs. Our production estimates are based on the performance of real sawing lines we’ve installed for our existing customers.
Designed and Built In-House for the last 40 years
All material handling equipment, including stackers and destackers, are designed and built in-house to suit the mill layout. We build tough African machines in Africa. Our sawmill machinery equipment has been for sale for the last 40 years, and we’ve successfully built and sold hundreds of timber machines across the globe over the previous 40 years.
Machinery that is easy to maintain
Maintaining your sawmill machinery is easy because we design the machines to be that way from the beginning. We design sawmill machinery and equipment using parts that can be sourced easily because we don’t want our customers to struggle to keep their sawmills running. The best part is, you won’t need to sacrifice production capacity.

Pinnacle SA's New Era Design Philosophy
While the New Era design philosophy seems obvious and logical, it’s surprising how few machines are designed using this approach. Like they say, common sense is not so common. While complex control mechanisms work well for high-volume sawmill machinery, they add a layer of complexity that makes operating and maintaining machines in a sawmill more expensive. At Pinnacle SA, we believe that if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it. We design the most cost-effective solution to get the job done.
What is New Era Design?
Every time you see the “New Era” badge on one of your sawmills, you can rest assured in the knowledge that we’ve applied the design philosophy to make your sawmill machinery and equipment easy to operate and maintain.
Let’s break down exactly what we mean by sharing our design philosophy from a practical point of view.
40 years of sawmill equipment development has taught us to design with intention to:
| Design Approach | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Add only what is absolutely necessary. Use as few parts as possible. | Fewer parts means fewer things that can break. |
| Manufacture using as few custom parts as possible. Source off-the-shelf components that are easy to fit. | It’s easier to fix a machine if the parts you need can be sourced locally. It also brings down the cost of manufacturing the machine in the first place. |
| Use heavy components that are made for durability. | Heavy components ensures machine stability and longevity. |
| Electronic controls and digital components have their place, but use them sparingly. | By avoiding unnecessary complexity, Pinnacle machines are simple and easy to operate, so you don’t need to employ an engineer to operate or maintain your machines. Our approach removes the need for expensive training and expensive specialised labour. |
| Design with flexibility in mind. Allow for customisation where needed. | Your operations are unique. We customise our machines to fit with your existing operations wherever possible to ensure continuity and minimal downtime. |
| Design intentionally. Understand what the machine needs to do and work your way towards a solution. | The machine does what it’s intended to do effectively and efficiently. |
