Wood Processing
Unloading logs, stacking timber and feeding the processing line.
What the machine
has to handle
Timber yards unload trailers, build high stacks and feed the processing line. A wheeled handler with a log grapple covers most of the yard; a raised or fixed machine suits a fixed feed point.
Typical challenges
- Unloading log trailers quickly
- Building and reclaiming high stacks
- Narrow lanes between stacks
- Feeding the processing line
Typical materials

Which chassis
fits your site
The chassis follows the layout of your site; reach, power and grab follow the material and output.

Questions about
wood processing
Send us your working conditions and we will answer for your site.
What type of handler and grapple suits a log yard?
Most log yards use a wheeled handler with a log grapple, because it moves between trailers and stacks. A raised fixed machine suits a fixed feed point. Tell us your log sizes, stack height and lane width.
What site conditions matter in a wood processing yard?
Ground conditions, lane width between stacks, stack height, trailer size and the position of the processing line.
