Description
Procat log hook is a specialist tool designed to make it easier to handle large logs when lifting, turning and moving them. The product works on the principle of mechanical grip, where the steel hook bites into the wood fibres, allowing even heavy trunks to be controlled. The body is made of durable steel, which keeps its shape under hard mechanical stress.
The tool has a plastic grip surface shaped to improve the grip during lifting. This grip surface is designed to give friction even in damp conditions, which reduces the risk of the tool slipping out of your hand. The shape of the handle allows a natural grip, which makes repeated lifting movements smoother and helps apply the force correctly.
This log hook is versatile for handling wood upright and moving trunks lying on the ground. Its sharp tip is optimised to bite into the bark and sapwood of different wood species without unnecessary splintering. The compact but rigid construction makes it standard equipment for all wood handling that needs reach and leverage for moving by hand.
Intended use:
- Lifting and moving logs: The tool is intended especially for gripping large logs lying on the ground or in a pile and moving them short distances. The hook bites into the wood and allows lifting without the user having to grip the surface of the wood directly.
- Turning tree trunks: Used as an aid for turning trees during sawing or delimbing. The lever arm and biting tip let you roll the trunk around its axis in a controlled way.

Procat log hook instructions for use:
Place the sharp tip of the hook on the surface of the log and press it in so that the tip bites into the wood. Secure your grip on the plastic handle and lift or turn with a smooth movement. After use, clean dirt and any resin off the hook. If the point goes blunt in use, it can be sharpened lightly with a file if necessary, so that the bite stays optimal.
Warnings:
Do not use the log hook to twist bolts or other metal parts, as the tip can be damaged. Take care not to trap your fingers between the hook and the wood when lifting. Do not stand below or right next to the log being lifted, in case the grip comes loose.
