Horizontal Wood Splitter 

A horizontal wood splitter is a mechanical device designed to split logs into smaller pieces, typically used for firewood. The machine is built with a robust steel frame and operates by placing a log horizontally on a cradle or platform.
Key Components:
Engine/Motor: Powers the hydraulic pump that drives the splitting ram. It can be gas-powered or electric.
Hydraulic Ram: A powerful piston that pushes the log against the splitting wedge.
Splitting Wedge: A sharp, durable wedge made of steel that the hydraulic ram forces the log into, causing it to split.
Control Lever: Operated by the user to engage the hydraulic ram and control the splitting process.
Cradle/Platform: Holds the log securely in place during the splitting process, ensuring stability and safety.
