Engineered for Safe Log Transport: The swivel mechanism represents the critical innovation that makes this timber carrier superior to fixed-hook alternatives. As two people carry a log, natural walking motion and terrain changes cause the load to shift and rotate. The swivel allows the hook to maintain its optimal bite point regardless of these movements, preventing the dangerous slippage that occurs with rigid carriers. The 12-inch hook length provides deep engagement into the log while the 16-inch maximum opening accommodates everything from small poles to substantial saw logs. The substantial 2½-inch diameter handles fill the hands comfortably, distributing weight across the palm rather than creating pressure points that lead to fatigue and loss of grip during extended carries.
155 Years of Specialized Experience: Peavey's century-and-a-half of serving the logging industry shows in the thoughtful details—the hook geometry that grabs without damaging valuable timber, the handle attachment that withstands lateral forces without loosening, and the availability of three sizes acknowledging that efficient log handling requires matching the tool to the task. The varying handle lengths allow teams to optimize leverage based on log weight and carrying distance, while maintaining the proper working height to minimize back strain. Whether you're moving logs at a sawmill, positioning timbers for construction, handling railroad ties, or managing any operation where logs need controlled manual transport, the Swivel Timber Carrier provides the safety, efficiency, and durability that professional log handling demands—backed by the longest continuous manufacturing history in the American logging tool industry.
