“Drag And Lift” Log Handling System
“It makes splitting logs a much easier job because rolling logs is eliminated and repetitive lifting, twisting and bending are no longer required,” says inventor Fred Kalakay about his new “drag and lift” system that attaches to many brands of log splitters.
The heavy duty system drags logs weighing up to 250 lbs. to the splitter and lifts them onto the splitter beam. A lift arm bolts to one end of the splitter, and a screw ring screws into the log and is attached to a cable hook. A 12-volt electric winch is used to pull the log up to the splitter and then lift it onto the table.
“The lift arm can easily drag a 28-in. dia., 24-in. long log up to 50 ft. and lift it up onto the splitter,” says Turczyn. “It lets you split wood that’s often left behind because operators don’t want to work crouched over or on their knees while trying to manage large logs to split.”
The operator attaches the patented screw ring, called Gorillabac Grip, into the log and hooks the cable onto it, then walks back to the lift arm and hooks the sliding pulley block and hook to the pull chain, which forms a lower anchor point. He uses a remote control to pull the log toward the splitter and lift it. A positioning handle is then used to swing and lower the log onto the splitter’s table.
“The screw ring forms a safe handhold as you split the log,” says vice president of marketing Turczyn. “If the log is really big you can split off a portion and then rotate and lower the rest of the log out of the way while you finish splitting the smaller pieces.”
The Gorillabac system is available in 2 models - one for splitters with adjustable tongue height trailer jacks ($379.99 plus S&H), and the other for splitters with fixed or flip-down height supports ($429.99).
The system has been tested with Huskie, Country Tuff, Speeco, Black Diamond, Brave, Dirty Hand Tools, Iron and Oak, and Oregon log splitters. “If you have a different splitter brand, please contact us,” says Turczyn.
