Necessary Tool - I’ve had this arch for a year now and carry it routinely on milling jobs. Bought the two man handle, tow tongue and Honda portable capstan winch also and use all of these regularly. Expands my ability to handle whatever I find at the job site, increases safety and eliminates potential for damaging customer’s property. The fetching arch and its accessories, because of their functionality and quality of construction are very satisfying to use and my customers consistently tell me how remarkable they are. - Dennis Hoover Terrific Timbers Mystic, CT

LogRite Log ArchesWe manufacture a full line of log arches so that you can move any log, anywhere with minimal effort and disturbance. Our log arches are the most effective, ergonomic and useful tools for low impact forestry, arborists and sawmill applications. Log arches allow for low impact operations in sensitive areas, minimal ground disturbance and clean logs for sawmilling. Great for selective harvesting and thinning.

This is a really tough piece of equipment. The fetching feature is so effective it will bring you trees you never thought possible. It also makes hung trees very easy to unhang, simply fetch the butt end and pull the top free. You will need a winch to pull the arch when fetching. I added the forwarding attachment and moved more wood in two 6 hour days than I would do in a complete season of wooding and we have 12" of snow on the ground making conditions miserable. I used a 550 Arctic Cat 4X4 ATV with diff lock on snow pack with great results. For really big logs (26" x 10') adding another ATV makes a big difference if you need to deal with inclines on snow. If your thinking about moving wood more efficiently this is the tool for the job. I'm looking forward to frozen ground (without snow) to see just how big a log I can move adding a JR arch to the tail end.

Mark from PA. on 2/21/2010

You probably remember me coming by to pick up a junior arch a couple of weeks ago. This weekend I got to use the arch for the first time. And it is just amazing how efficient this tool is - it almost looks and sounds too good to be true, but the first pick up of a 13 foot hemlock log (about 12” diameter” proved that this is an incredibly well designed and well made tool. Great job - I look forward to putting the arch to work as we prepare our land for building and for the septic field. -Chris

Dear Kevin,The log arch arrived intact, was easy to assemble and functioned marvelously, Our first test haul was a massive 35” in diameter, 21’ long douglas fir sawlog that was successfully transported with ease and absolutely no road surface disturbance! Thank you for excellent product offerings and fast, efficient service. Pleasure doing business with you. Mike Meyer, The Naturist Ministry Reed Mtn., CA

So easy to use, even a dummy can do it!

The LogRite Junior Arch is an indispensable tool for moving logs by hand. The Junior is light enough to be carried by hand but strong enough to last a lifetime. The Junior can also be used for felling hang-ups, bucking firewood, positioning work or bunching logs. The optional extension handle is used for longer logs or walking greater distances.

Fetching Arch LogRite’s Most Versatile Arch

Originally designed to fetch logs on steep slopes where wheeled vehicles couldn’t or shouldn’t go. It was intended to be used with any source of line pull. By removing the ring and replacing it with one of the other options you can convert this arch to one that can be pulled by hand or by an ATV. The two man handle converts this arch to one that can be used by hand; while the Tow Tongue and Winch option converts it into our ATV arch.

U.L.T.R.A. - Ultimate Log and Tree Removal Apparatus

This arch was designed for tree service professionals. This arch performs similarly to any of our hand arches and will move a 16’ log. Suspends the whole log so there is no damage to the lawn and then goes right through a 36” gate! Once you have the main trunk, you can convert the arch into a brush hauler to move all the brush and smaller limbs. And yes, it still fits through a 36” gate. The arch can be converted one more time and it becomes a hand truck with the ergonomic handle you can easily move 1800 lbs.

It’s a log arch, brush hauler and log hand truck all in one!

Hand Tool SectionUsing new materials and modern engineering, LogRite sets the new standard for logging hand tools. Our tools are designed to meet today’s standards of performance. Our handles are built from aircraft aluminum and then powder coated bright blue so they are stronger, lighter and easy to see. Our hooks are designed to bite every time. They are heat treated and zinc plated for a lifetime of use. We even finish the tools with a safety pin so that your fingers won’t get crushed between the hook and the handle, and a rubber grip is added for your comfort.

We offer different styles and sizes to meet everyone’s need.

Not sure your style?

Traditionally, cant hooks were used around sawmills for turning cants; while peaveys were designed for and used for river drives.

Both tools consist of a handle with a swing hook. The difference between the two is what is on the end of the handle. A cant hook has a small toe hook on the end which provides a second biting edge. A peavey has a point on the end which is used to separate logs.

Today these tools are used interchangeably and are capable of doing the same jobs. So it comes down to personal preference when choosing between the two tools.

Cant Hook style vs Peavey style

Benefits:• Two biting edges• Gets a better grip

on the log

Benefits:• Can be stuck between

logs to free them.• Point can be stuck in

the ground to stand it up so it is easy to find.

Cant Hooks and PeaveysTo determine the size tool you need you should consider the length of the handle and the diameter of the log you wish to move. Our part numbers tell which tip style and length of the handle.

The Universal Log Stand

Our log stand attachment can be placed on any of our standard series (1.75” diameter handle). This attachment allows you to roll a log onto the tool itself. Then the tool and the stand hold the log up off the ground so that a cut can be made safely through the log without touching the ground.

Specialty Hooks

Designed for sawyers. These cant hooks have a baseball bat end stop rather than a rubber grip and shorter so they don’t get in the way.

The Megahook offers maximum leverage at 78” longs. Also features a larger hook. Only available as a cant hook.

Instead of our aluminum handle, these tools are made with 1.5” diameter fiberglass handles. Available in both cant and peavey style. They are not designed to protect against electric shock. These are non-rated tools favored by utility companies.

We also offer two smaller versions of the Megahook. Available as a cant or peavey, and have the same reinforced handles of the Megahook. Same length and diameter as our regular 60” tool, so they may look the same as the regular tools but weigh about 2 pounds more.

Other Hand Tools

Log Carriers are meant for two people so there are two grips and two hooks. Have 1.75” diameter handles. Will grip a 16” log. Weight lifted depends on your backs, so be careful!

Hookaroons are great tools for reaching into or across machines to clear a jam or move cants and logs. These tools extend your reach or keep your hands out of harms way. They can also be used for moving slabs or firewood quickly.

Anodized and laser engraved so our log scales can always be read. They can be cleaned of pitch easily with a solvent and it won’t remove the text.

We offer four different scales in two different styles. The log scales can be purchased with or without a rubber gripped handle.

Everyone needs good gloves! We used them around our mill and now around the shop. We like them so much we brand them with our name and make them available to you.

Forestry Pruning Saws

LogRite’s Pruning Saw is faster and more ergonomic than any other forestry pruning saw on the market and is built to be virtually indestructible. Our pruning saw is 37” overall with a 24” pull stroke only blade for long smooth efficient strokes. It will take most branches up to an inch in diameter in one stroke. The frames are aircraft aluminum like our hand tools.

Each saw is supplied with 2 carbon steel blades. One of the blades is 3 tooth per inch for cutting soft or green woods and the other is 4 tpi for cutting dead or hard woods.

The Contractor Saw is super strong and super fast and designed to reach 11 feet or higher. Great for cutting fire fuel breaks and general forestry pruning. It is the same as our pruning saw but is mounted to a 35” aluminum extension handle.

Just like our pruning saw, the Contractor Saw comes with 2 carbon steel blades.

Kevin, who was a manufacturing engineer, operated a portable sawmill as a hobby.

When he found himself without a job because of corporate downsizing in 2002, he

decided to turn his milling hobby into a job. He took his portable sawmill and went

on the road. This went well as long as his wooden cant hooks held up. Finding

himself continually unable to work because of broken handles, Kevin decided to

make his own handles. He experimented with several different handle materials

until he found just the right one. This new aluminum handle worked great so he

began to improve the performance of the tool. He began to experiment with the

hook geometry until he created a hook that would bite every time. On job sites

people began to take notice of his modern looking tool and asked how to get one.

Kevin began making tools in his garage. One or two at first, causing the sawmill to

lie idle. When he began to manufacture his tools for different sawmill and

chainsaw manufacturers, his volume increased and required him look for another

location. So after working in his garage for about a year, he sold his portable

sawmill business and moved his growing cant hook business to a bigger facility in

a local industrial park.

LogRite continued to grow and in 2006 acquired Future Forestry. The arches were a great addition to LogRite’s existing product line.

LogRite continues to offer a full line of log handling tools, the finest money can buy. Kevin still likes to flex his engineering talents and continues to improve and design new products.
