Show us your log piles

All change in my shed, all my dry logs are bagged and ready to go as I now have a way of lifting full bags on.

 

What make of crane is that and where did you get it from? Thinking about getting one for a trailer, how do you find it, any good?

It's a sealey 900kg, so any sealey supplier can get you one, it works quite well but I should have got one of the ones that have a winch on instead of a fixed length chain. I have the problem of my barn being on a slope so when you get the bag of logs high enough you have to fight gravity to swing them round onto the truck, but this probably wouldn't be a problem for most yards/people. I am probably going to order a couple of the base plates to mount on my trailer and one that slots on and off my tractors pallet forks so I can use the one crane in 3 different places.this bit:

Looks like a big twist between the headboard and your truck cab William. Presuming its a tipper, should you have a stabiliser leg under the crane?

Yes that was caused by me trying to be clever by raising the tipper after I had lifted the bag to let gravity swing it round. When the tipper is down the only lean comes from the suspension compressing, I just wedge a cut railway sleeper under the tree slider to stop it cranking over too much.
