Key Features

• Eagle Claw Auto-Tightening Grip: The signature eagle claw design locks onto logs with increasing force as you pull — delivering a stronger, more secure hold under load, so your timber stays firmly in place during every lift and drag.
• Wide Opening for Versatility: Max opening size of 19.45 inches and a gripping diameter of 18 inches make these tongs suitable for large logs, hay bales, cables, stones, and other bulky materials.
• Seamless One-Piece Lifting Ring: The integrated lifting ring is forged from industrial-grade #45 steel in a single seamless piece — no weak joints, no risk of separation under heavy loads. Simply attach a chain or shackle to your vehicle and you're ready to go.
• Rust & Wear-Resistant Coating: A high-quality surface spray coating shields the steel from rust and abrasion, even when the tongs are dragged across rough terrain. The vivid spray color also keeps the tool visible in dense woodland environments.
• Broad Vehicle Compatibility: Works with tractors, ATVs, off-road vehicles, trucks, forklifts, and more — replacing manual labor to save time and reduce fatigue on the job site.
• CE Certified: Meets CE safety and quality standards for industrial handling equipment.

Why Choose These Log Skidding Tongs?

Traditional manual log handling is slow, physically demanding, and inefficient. These industrial log tongs attach quickly to your existing vehicle or equipment via chain, letting you lift, drag, and reposition heavy timber with far less effort and far greater speed. The auto-tightening eagle claw grip means you spend less time repositioning and more time working — the harder you pull, the tighter the grip.
