The type of truck and trailer used to transport logs depends on a number of factors.
The overall tare weight of the truck was reduced by using pole trailers.It only works with tree length material.Between the bolsters at either end, the stems are not supported in the middle.
A rotating bunk is part of the set of double-axle wheels on the trailer.The length of the stems is fixed between the bolsters as the truck turns.The pole connection must be extended.The stinger-steer trailer is a slight variation on the pole trailer.
A log bunk is mounted over the fifth wheel on a steller-steered log trailer.The fifth wheel is capable of rotating on this log bunk.A second set of bunks is mounted on a pair of axles.The tractor has a bar that extends from the back.The rear bunks have a steel bar that is called a stinger and is used to change the distance between the tractor and trailer.The reach has a hitch that completes the trailer.When going around corners, the trailer wheels follow the path of the tractor wheels.This makes it possible to operate on roads with tight corners.
A log trailer is a semi-trailer with bunks.The bunks are supported by beams along the length of the trailer.They can carry multiple bunks of log length material.The logs in the bunks have to be secured with chains or straps on public roads.
A straight truck with a trailer may be used if only log length material is being transported.The loader is mounted on the rear of the truck.
