Log Ladders
Maximized throughput, zero wasted cycles. Optimized control for log infeed.
Linden Log Ladders are designed to move logs up and forward efficiently—ensuring there’s always a log ready for delivery to the next step. Each ladder step is powered by a torque pipe and lift arms, actuated either by hydraulic cylinders or electric drive (motor + reducer). Steps operate independently, eliminating empty cycles and reducing log gaps in your flow.
One Step Ahead, Every Time.
