Fetching Arch

Our most versatile arch in the 2 foot diameter and 1 ton category! The Fetching Arch was designed to do the heavy lifting on steep slopes or sensitive areas that are off limits to wheeled vehicles such as ATVs or tractors.

On steep slopes the 25" tongs will lift the log whenever a pull is applied to the handle from a winch line or drag line pull. This toggling or over-centering action is positive on steep slopes, carrying the log clean off the ground toward the line pull. On gentler terrain the handle can be pulled down first to lift the log and then proceed to carry the log along.

The Fetching Arch has no specified length, so it can be set up at or slightly ahead of the midway point to pick up and carry the entire weight of any length log.

The Fetching Arch can be used by hand, so it can be used in any situation where heavy or more mechanized machinery cannot go, such as backyards. For this application many choose the optional 6' two man handle for added leverage and control.

The Fetching Arch can be fitted with the optional Tow Tongue and Winch, which effectively turns the toggle-to-lift arch into one that remains horizontal and picks up logs with 3200 lb 2 speed winch and 3/8" choker line. The tow tongue will hook to any vehicle with a two inch ball and allows the Fetching Arch to be used similar to the ATV Arch. When using the attached hand winch and line on the tow tongue, multiple smaller logs can be moved with the choker line. The choker line can be attached to its own bell or to the arch. We call hooking the line back into the arch, the doubling option. By using this doubling option, it cuts the power needed to lift the log in half.

Options:
Two Man Handle: is a 6' T bar handle that replaces the standard handle, for two or more laborers to apply more leverage and control over logs in manual log moving. The Two Man Handle breaks down into two parts with a hitch pin for easier transport and storage.
Weight: 30 pounds

Tow Tongue & Winch: is a truss frame structure that provides the lower hitch attachment for towing behind an ATV. It is equipped with a 3200 lb, 2 speed hand winch.
