Log Skidding Tongs for Heavy Lifting

These log skidding tongs are built for forestry workers, landowners and anyone moving large timber. They handle logs, hay stacks, cables and stones with an 18 inch grip size and a 20 inch maximum opening. The 772 lbs load capacity suits demanding lifting and dragging tasks.

Thick Steel Build with Rotating Ring

Made from thick #45 steel, the tongs resist bending and breaking under heavy loads. A spray-painted surface adds rust protection for rough terrain use. The 360-degree rotating suspension ring prevents chain entanglement and keeps the grip stable during prolonged pulls. Sharp eagle-claw hooks tighten automatically as tension increases.

Manual Tool Limits

The tongs rely entirely on human or machine pulling force; they have no powered actuation or hydraulic assistance. Maximum opening is fixed at 20 inches, so logs thicker than that cannot be gripped. The 7.5 lb weight adds to the load being moved. No mounting hardware or chains are included in the package.
