Log Handling Tools for Professional Logging Operations
Moving and positioning logs safely requires specialized tools built for the weight, awkwardness, and hazards of timber handling. CSP Forestry carries a comprehensive line of log handling tools including cant hooks, peaveys, log jacks, timber carriers, and skidding tongs for safe and efficient log movement at the landing, deck, or mill. These tools reduce the physical strain of manual log rolling and help keep workers at a safe distance from unstable loads.
Complement your log handling equipment with chains and binders for securing loads, power pullers for moving difficult logs, and log savers for preventing chainsaw bar contact with the ground. Browse our complete logging and sawmill equipment catalog and chainsaw supplies for a full complement of professional logging tools.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a cant hook and a peavey?
Both are log handling tools, but a cant hook has a blunt end while a peavey has a pike (spike) at the tip for driving into log ends. Peaveys are typically used for moving logs on decks or in water; cant hooks are more versatile for rolling and positioning.
Do you carry skidding tongs?
Yes. Our skidding tongs are designed for safely gripping and moving logs with a skidder or other equipment. They complement our full range of log handling tools and chains and binders.
What safety gear should I wear when handling logs?
When using log handling tools, wear hard hats, safety glasses, heavy-duty gloves, and steel-toed boots. Consider chainsaw chaps if chainsaws are used nearby.
Do you carry cant hooks?
Yes. We carry cant hooks in multiple handle lengths and hook sizes for different log diameters and applications. They're part of our broader log handling tools and logging equipment catalog.
