Timber Tote

Also called a "swivel timber carrier". This is a great way for two people to move logs. The swivel above the tongs makes for easier maneuvering. You can use 2 Timber totes with 4 people for longer heavier logs. 
Hint: If you're using one "tote" with two people on a heavy log, try lifting closer to one end and allowing the other end to drag along the ground. (when appropriate). This will lessen the weight load on the two of you doing the lifting.

Tongs

Lifting vs. Skidding/Loading tongs. Tongs prices vary greatly depending upon whether you need lifting or skidding/loading tongs.   
Lifting tongs are used whenever a log will be lifted above 5' off the ground, (or above anyone's head). These tongs are rated for lifting weights.
Skidding/loading tongs are used to drag and load/unload logs. They are less expensive than lifting tongs.
Select a size that is larger than your logs. For example, if you are building with 12" diameter logs, use 20" or 25" tongs.

Lifting Straps

Straps are used to prevent tong gouge marks in your logs as you move and position them. 
Straps are often used in conjunction with tongs.

  • 2600 lbs. vertical

  • 2080 lbs. choker

Log Cleats
To secure your logs while you peel or notch. Triangular shaped and each cleat has 5 points - 4 on the "leg" to grip the lower log and 1 on the upper facing part to grip the upper log. Used as a set, they come attached to each other with a cord.
Dimensions are 3" deep, 2" wide, and 3" tall, (short),
or 5" tall, (long).
Normally, one set is used at each end of a log to secure the log for scribe, (when the points are toward the log), or to turn a log, (when the points face away from the log).

Note: Use care when working with logs, particularly natural taper logs which often have a bow that you may be attempting to "hold" up and out. Do not remove a cleat from one end of a log and assume the cleat at the other end will hold the log, without first determining if all persons are out of the potential danger area. As with all tools, the responsibility for their ultimate use and safety is up to the operator. You're the operator.
