New and used log semitrailers are useful for hauling logs, branches, tree trimmings, limbs, and other debris from forestry, tree care, and landscaping worksites.
Read More (About Log Semitrailers)Logging companies use log semitrailers to transport logs safely, securely, and efficiently from logging sites to mills.
Tree care and landscape professionals also use log trailers to haul logs, branches, tree trimmings, limbs, and other debris from forestry worksites, city and state parks, landscaping areas, and customers’ backyards. Some use these trailers to support their firewood businesses.
New and used log trailers are available in several types, enabling buyers to match the trailer to their needs. For example, log semitrailers with a recessed center have a low center of gravity for good load distribution, stability, and less rollover risk.
Straight-frame models can be a good option for tree care and landscaping companies that plan to haul a wide range of log sizes.
Plantation-style models (aka plantation trailers) generally excel at transporting logs that have smaller diameters. You’ll also find versions of these models designed specifically for long-distance hauling and tackling steep terrain.
Log trailers may have reinforced beams and cross members, as well as side posts, stakes, uprights, rails, or tailgates to contain the logs. Other optional features on log trailers include electronic or air scales, grapple bars, and headboard extensions.
Log trailers are commonly made of heavy-duty steel, which provides excellent durability, stability, and weight support. Lightweight aluminum log trailers and combination models are also available.
Some log trailers have features such as winches and cranes. Forestry professionals used these attachments alongside other logging equipment for easier loading.
Many log semitrailers are 48 feet (14.6 meters) long, but 40-ft. (12.2-m) and 53-ft. (16.2-m) models are also available for those tree care and landscaping companies with specific size requirements.
Log semitrailers employ air ride, spring, single-point, or 4-spring suspensions to help provide a smooth, controlled hauling experience.
When buying a new or used log trailer, consider potentially helpful features such as winches and cranes to assist with loading and unloading and reinforced beams, side posts, stakes, and other components to help keep logs secure during transport.
