The Price LogPro Radial Log Crane is a continuous duty (Class F) 24/7 designed Radial Log Crane for off-loading tree-length and short wood from trucks. In just one or two picks, depending on the model, the Price crane can off-load trucks for wood storage, log processing decks or directly into debarking infeed system. The optional trolley allows maximum use of the wood storage area.

The structure at the pivot of the Price crane is filled with concrete of sufficient weight to counterbalance the crane lifting forces. As a result, the pivot bearing is always under compression. The counter balance design gives the Price LogPro Rotary Log Crane an added safety feature, that in case of a pivot bearing failure, the crane will not overturn.

The overall class F structural design of the crane utilizes heavy wall pipe and tubing for a strong yet simple structure. Structural Truss assemblies are shop welded with non destructive testing – main connections are of a pinned design. Although the Price crane has few fasteners, they are galvanized to reduce corrosion.

Independently adjustable wheel assemblies are direct coupled to planetary reducers through alignment/shock couplings. The Price wheels are supported by Timken AP railroad bearings. Price offers optional all wheel drive to eliminate slippage for performance and redundancy. Electro-mechanical brakes are standard on the wheel assemblies for failsafe operation.

The Price LogPro Lineal Log Crane is a continuous duty 24/7 designed lineal crane for off-loading tree-length and shortwood from trucks. In just one or two picks, depending on the model, the Price crane can off-load trucks for wood storage, log processing decks or directly into debarking infeed system. The standard trolley allows maximum use of the wood storage area.

The rail and support structure are elevated off of grade allowing the use of a buss bar electrical feed system eliminating the need for a traveling power cable and powered cable reel system. With the elevated rail system the other additional benefits are the rail is supported via a fabricated structure and concrete foundation eliminating the need for expensive bi-annual rail leveling, this also protects the rail from debris and logs that can fall causing damage and possible derailment of the log crane. With a thin cross section the bridge section is not nearly as susceptible as a traditional portal/gantry crane to wind loads greatly improving safety and uptime.

All LogPro cranes come standard with Flux Vector Electric Drive Technology with Regenerative braking on the Hoist and Swing Drives. Regenerative braking uses the drive as a generator to provide braking force and generate electricity to be fed back to the grid for further energy/cost savings.
