Industry leading solutions

When speed and efficiency matter most.

All of our solutions are designed to ensure ease of maintenance, product quality and efficiency. For example:
  • 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.
