Load capacity is only one part of choosing a log trailer. Crane reach, rotation, hydraulic controls, stability, and tractor compatibility determine how efficiently logs can be collected. Review the Sunway log trailer range while defining the worksite.
Crane Reach Changes the Work Area
A longer reach can reduce trailer repositioning, but the crane must remain suitable for the trailer, load, and stability system. Buyers should describe whether logs are stacked beside a road, scattered in woodland, or loaded on slopes.
Hydraulic Compatibility
The towing tractor must provide suitable hydraulic performance or use an approved independent system. Control valves, hoses, connection standards, and operator position should be confirmed before ordering.
- Tractor hydraulic flow and pressure.
- Connection type.
- Crane control preference.
- Stabilizer and loading procedure.
Compare Trailer Classes
Compact buyers may consider the 3T trailer, while frequent commercial users often compare 8T, 12T, and 15T models.
Priority Markets and Buyer Profile
Priority buyers are forestry contractors, farms, timber yards, and firewood suppliers in Canada, Northern Europe, Germany, Austria, Australia, New Zealand, and the northern United States.

FAQ
Is longer crane reach always better?
No. Reach must be balanced with trailer size, stability, load weight, and the actual loading pattern.
Can every tractor operate a hydraulic log crane?
Compatibility must be checked. Hydraulic output, connectors, control arrangement, and towing capacity vary by tractor.
