Log Arch
A log arch is a device designed for moving various timber lengths easily. It can be towed with a quad bike, car/van, 4×4, or compact tractor. Perfect for low-impact forestry, arboriculture, woodlanders, and portable sawmill operators. If you need equipment for transporting logs, explore our ATV Log Trailers, built to complement your log arch for efficient hauling.
Log Arch Construction
Constructed from robust steel and tube sections, these implements ensure optimal performance. The Hot Dip galvanizing process guarantees rust-free longevity. Every component, including wheels and tyres, meets high specifications for durability in heavy-duty tasks.
The larger units can feature everlasting Kevlar tyres. The fully removable drawbar allows for suspending the timber pieces, easily winched or manually pulled with convenient handles.

Log Arch Options
Swivel Hitch
The log arch facilitates easier navigation of undulating woodland terrain, reduces stress on the towing vehicle’s ball hitch, and offers improved safety over a fixed hitch.
Kevlar Tyres
Tyres lined with Kevlar provide the highest level of puncture protection, especially effective against hazards like the notorious “blackthorn” and others.
Skidding - Lifting Tongs
It can replace the wire rope typically slung under the log for lifting. It serves as a versatile tool, suitable for various applications like jig arm crane lifting.
