A necessity in the forestry industry, the log loader, is used to sort and stack the logs, as well as loading them for transport. Several types of loaders are available: Knuckleboom loaders, truck mounted and wheel loaders. Knuckleboom loaders have a swing arm and are hydraulically-operated. Truck mounted loaders are attached directly to the truck and are generally used for smaller wood. Wheel loaders use a set of forks with a grapple to load the logs and are very efficient, because they can load a large amount of logs at one time.
DEVELON expands its portfolio of forestry equipment with the DX300LL-7 log loader and DX300RB-7 road builder.
DEVELON is helping logging professionals take on tough forestry and timber processing jobs with its new, next-generation -7 Series log loaders and road builders.
