ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for use in a skyline logging system. A carriage mounted for reversible travel on a skyline is transported by a skidding line connected to a hoisting line which feeds through the carriage for attachment to logs. A tagline is attached at one end to the skidding line and its other end is received by a take-up reel mounted on the carriage which is disengageably drivingly connected to a radio-controlled unidirectionally operable power-operated drive motor mounted on the carriage. When operated in an engaged mode, the reel takes up the tagline and hence the skidding line. The reel is allowed to pay out the tagline in a disengaged mode. Additionally, the motor is connected to a pinch-roll device, also mounted on the carriage, for pulling the hoisting line into and through the carriage in cooperation with the take-up reel.
