Vartago log lifting gear wanted urgently - can I get them in the UK?

Urgently want some Vartago log lifting equipment as shown in this ConFor article:

http://www.forestryjournal.co.uk/pdf/SWWS.pdf

Can I get the two-man lifting tongs here ???

Help! Thanks.

I've looked for them too. They've been in the Forestry Journal a few times. Not found a supplyer yet. I've seen the handels for them on Ebay but no tongs on them.

Wouter is the Belgian guy who runs Vartago- I was hoping to catch up with him at the recent APF show, but they couldn't make it over sadly. I've always fancied a posh timber arch or two, the homemade one is a bit heavy..

In a word - yes! Just keeping it tidy for extraction mate - got to be done.

Cheers for the info

I don't want to contravene the Forums advertising rules, so I'll just suggest that you search on Facebook for Logrite UK
