Built to Tough the Environment
Conditions can get tough across Western Canada when out on logging jobs. The need for a machine that can tough the environment and work no matter the conditions is key to maximizing up-time and productivity. The DEVELON log loader line-up allows for confidence in your machine as it’s built ready to withstand the challenges of demanding forestry work. Quarter inch side panels and guarding panels keep the machine robust and able to withstand shocks and impacts on the jobsite, keeping the operator safely isolated from impacts.

Key features help the machine keep productive such as the air-to-air fuel cooler which can keep your machine’s productivity up as fuel temperature is regulated. Split cooling also allows for the machine to heat and cool parts independently in severe conditions to protect and extend the life of components.
An optional “forestry cab” is available on these machines to provide additional window guarding and an escape hatch for more heavy-duty jobs or environments. This option additionally reinforces latches and hinges to further solidify the cab and equipment’s general structural integrity. This option allows for side or rear entry.
Operator Comfort for Long Logging Days
With long hours through the seasons on logging job sites, it’s key to have operators comfortable in cabs for long durations. DEVELON has created a productive environment as it provides operators with a comfortable place to be even during the most challenging situations. See below features available on Log Loaders:
- Heat & Air Conditioning: Enjoy car-style air conditioning for every season with automatic temperature control able to adjust settings based on the cab level.
- Selectable Control: Operate using the preferred control pattern based on individual experience/training between ISO or BHL.
- Information Display: Included multi-functional color LCD can display key information to operators including history, flow rate, filter/oil status and other factors. Hybrid screen mode can allow operators to use the camera and display information at the same time.
- Quiet Operation: Avoid environmental disturbance to others in the area with relatively low DB. Auto idle keeps your machine healthy by turning it off after 4 seconds of inactivity and returning to previous throttle settings when continuing work. Auto shutdown can also be activated to automatically shut down based on the user configured timeframe.
