A little stop animation action. At Teen Challenge we received a whole bunch of exceptionally large squash, and cabbage, so I put my creativity hat on and BOOM
Other logloaders work with an additional 3rd rope (grabber calming winch), so that the grab can be better positioned/guided
It that on Hwy 4 on the Columbia river?
I never never knew ...why the Boom was shaped like that....UNTIL JUST NOW!! I've seen them for years - but always just sitting. I used to think "thats an odd configuration". Now I see why. Lol
It was built at the time, when things were built to last.
It is great to watch old iron work with a guy that can run it. The sawmill I worked at had a tank mount 98 Linkbelt with a long lattice boom. It was a leftover from the woods crew that shut down in 1982.I loved how it looked like a tank scooting quickly across the yard with the Detroit screaming. It was kept around for high decking in the logyard. Only one guy could run it without having a hairball of cable at the grapple. Seems like it had 4 or 5 cables including the tagline. I got to help untangle cables and service it. Ironically that mill shut down 3/11/1994, 28 years ago today. I'm old and gray now. The Linkbelt probably hit the scrap as well.
Full-fledged rope shovels usually have 4 winches - boom winch, grab hoist winch and closing/digging winch and grab calming winch. The calming winch usually has a slip clutch, which automatically keeps the rope taut. The excavator operator can use a lever to influence the slip clutch so that he can pull in, eject and turn the grab. This rope is not present in this video - this makes working with the grab difficult and cumbersome.
Ya know, a person could watch that being done and say, “Why I could do that! Looks easy!” And within just a few hours could drop or swing a log into the cab and it be all over in the blink off an eye. Lights out! Say good night! Very cool machine but better know about logs and mass before climbing into that seat!
It’s a lost art, my father Inlaw is a master at it it’s how he loaded all his log trucks for years. Thanks for checking it out
Not all that hard most of all these old cable loaders you are working piles from butt ends you are more likely to hit cab with hydraulic knuckle boom loader where you are picking logs up from side of pile and twirling them around. I've loaded many trucks with an old swing yarder and grapple no heel boom just straight pole working from butt end of pile and have felt way safer then I ever have in any hydraulic landing loader. Heel booms are nice logs are lifted straight up against them and they usually have teeth on heel to hold logs and you can spin them all day long without log moving or swinging ran a unit crane for awhile with a heel boom then we got a swing yarder and I love that I can run my chain carriage and high line with 2 drums and drop them and swing and load trucks on landing with the grapple and other 2 drums it beats having to have multiple machines on tight landings and beats the new hydraulic machines and like I said feel a lot safer in cable loader loader more conrtol of log I feel.
This is so cool!!! I seen it for sale! Wish I could buy it!
