Arborist Tongs Jacks Hooks

Tongs, jacks, and hooks are useful logging and forestry tools for gripping, lifting, rolling, positioning, and handling logs and other heavy timber. These tools can provide additional leverage and control when preparing logs for cutting, moving firewood, clearing storm debris, loading timber, or working around sawmill and forestry operations. Properly selected log-handling equipment can reduce the need to place hands directly around heavy material and can make many common logging tasks more manageable.

Our Tongs, Jacks & Hooks category is designed for professional loggers, arborists, forestry crews, farmers, landowners, sawmill operators, and firewood cutters. Different tools are made for different log diameters, weights, and handling methods, so selecting equipment with an appropriate capacity is important. Always inspect hooks, points, handles, pivots, welds, and moving components before use. Maintain stable footing, stay clear of pinch points and rolling logs, and never exceed a tool's rated capacity. Heavy timber can shift unexpectedly, so careful positioning and safe work practices are essential.
