Log Deck Equipment

This kit includes three pieces of equipment that are commonly used on the log deck of small to medium sized sawmills to move logs through the mill and onto the log carriage. These include (1) the log turner, (2) an overhead log turner with a steel cant hook, and (3) a set of transfer chains to move logs toward the log carriage. Each piece of equipment includes all of the pulleys, bearings, gears and controls that are needed to install and operate it. For additional information and pictures check out log deck equipment.

Our New Book

100 pages in length with over 100 figures and pictures, many in color.
