ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a wagon or cart specially designed for removing logs--particularly those of great weight and diameter--from the site at which the logs were cut, to a truck or other vehicle used for transporting the logs to a remote destination. The log wagon includes a box-like, rectangular receptacle, open at one end, to facilitate rolling of logs into and out of the wagon. At the open end, ground wheels are rotatably mounted upon bell cranks or equivalent angular links or levers, pivoted at one end to the receptacle or log cradle. The other ends are adapted to be separably connected to a handle. When the handle is rocked in one direction, it lowers the log cradle, locating a curved bottom pan thereof against the ground so that logs can be conveniently rolled into or out of the cradle. When rocked in the other direction, the handle causes the lever to travel over dead center, elevating the open end of the cradle. The handle can then be transferred to the other end of the wagon, for transporting the logs to a nearby truck or stacking area.
