Experience & Innovation
We work with the best in the industry
Now that Rockwell Industries has joined Promac Group, the best designers, fabricators and service technicians in the industry now work under one roof. For our customers, this means unparalleled customization and exceptional service. It’s exciting work with such a dynamic team to continue to revolutionize the industry.
Industry leading solutions
When speed and efficiency matter most.
- Our pneumatic tire holds down rolls securing the log firmly without damaging any fiber. In addition, the lightweight rolls allow you to use less air pressure during the lift cycle.
- Our quad spiked rolls carry the log with greater stability across your bottom head, giving you more ‘traction control’ for steady feeding, as well as improved hold back power.
- Our replaceable threaded spikes that are considered the best in the industry
- Our heavy duty telescoping drive shaft powers spiked rolls with the motor and reducer ‘fixed’ to the overhead frame out of harm’s way — it’s the fastest log turner anywhere.
