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.

Key Benefits:

  • Independent step actuation – Eliminates empty cycles
  • Precision flow control – Ensures every log is ready for transfer
  • Flexible power options – Available in electric or hydraulic configurations
  • Custom-built – Match your log lengths, elevation, and line requirements
  • Ideal for elevation gain – gain height without compromising flow
  • Reliable operation – Rugged design for mill-duty performance

Specifications:

  • Log Length: 8’ to 24’
  • Log Diameter: Up to ~30”
  • Cycle Rate: ~15 CPM
  • Actuation: Hydraulic cylinders
  • Add-on: Tempo follower cylinder for precision control

Applications:

Linden Log Ladders are ideal for systems where elevation gain, flow control, and log spacing are essential. Use them to:

 

  • Elevate logs from deck to infeed
  • Maintain consistent flow without bunching or gaps
  • Feed systems such as lathe chargers, merchandisers
  • Handle short, long, or uneven logs with confidence
