Frequently asked questions
What size logs does this cant hook fit?
The maximum log diameter is 81.3cm (32in), and the opening width is 37cm (14.6in). Measure the thickest part of your log before you order.
How much weight can it lift?
No weight limit is specified for this tool, so we can't state a lifting capacity. A log's weight depends on the timber, how wet it is and how long the piece is. If you are unsure, start with shorter or lighter logs.
Does it attach to anything?
No. This is a hand tool. The hook goes over the log, and you use the handle to roll or reposition it. It is not connected to a chain or other equipment.
How does the hook work?
The adjustable hook pivots on a single bolt near the end of the handle. You set the hook over the log, then use the 118cm (46.5in) handle to roll or reposition it. The foot end of the handle has a toothed edge. Keep your hands and feet clear of the log as it moves, work on firm ground, and make sure the log is stable before you start cutting.
How is it different from your other cant hook?
This one has a 118cm (46.5in) handle and takes logs up to 81.3cm (32in) in diameter. Our 150cm (59in) handle model has a longer handle, a 41.1cm (16.2in) opening width and weighs 4.9kg (10.8lb), and its hook is bolted to a plate with three bolts. Both have a maximum log diameter of 81.3cm (32in). Choose by the length of handle you want to work with.
What is it made from, and does it need assembly?
The tool is carbon steel with an orange coated finish, and the handle has a rubber grip on the end. The hook comes separate from the handle and is fitted with the included M10 screw and nut. Tools are not listed in the package contents, so have a spanner ready. In the box: the handle, hook, rubber grip, 1 M10 screw and nut, and a user manual.
After use, clean off soil, bark and moisture and store the tool dry. Before each use, check that the bolt is tight and check the hook and handle for wear or damage. Do not use the tool if anything is damaged.
