Forestry cranes
Rooted in innovation to help you go further
Engineering that elevates your forestry operations
In forestry, every load counts – and so does every minute on the job. You face tough conditions, demanding workdays, and the constant pressure to deliver more with less downtime. LOGLIFT forestry cranes from Hiab are built with strong roots – proven reliability, unmatched durability, and decades of engineering expertise. That foundation gives you the strength and confidence to reach further – to load faster, work safer, and increase productivity in the forest and on the road. With intuitive controls, smart technology, and sturdy design, LOGLIFT helps you overcome daily challenges and keep your business moving. Because when your crane performs, your whole operation performs.
Proven strength and reliability
LOGLIFT forestry cranes are designed to withstand the toughest environments and heaviest workloads. Decades of engineering experience and field testing ensure that every component delivers consistent performance, season after season. With LOGLIFT, operators can rely on a machine that’s built to last and built to work.
Productivity and performance
LOGLIFT cranes are engineered to maximise efficiency, helping operators handle more timber in less time. Faster loading cycles, optimised hydraulics, and intelligent design features make every job smoother and more profitable. With LOGLIFT, productivity is built into every lift.
Safety and operator experience
Operator safety and comfort are at the core of every LOGLIFT forestry crane. Ergonomic controls, protected work environments, and smart safety systems create a smoother and more secure workflow. By prioritising people, LOGLIFT enables safer, more confident operations every day.
Partnership and support
Hiab is more than a supplier – it’s a long-term partner to your forestry businesses. With a global service network, digital tools, and tailored support programmes, Hiab ensures customers stay productive no matter where they operate. The relationship doesn’t end at delivery – it grows stronger over time.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT CRANE FOR YOUR NEEDS
Whether your work involves cut-to-length handling, full-length logs or stationary loading, we offer the right crane for the job – built for safety, precision and performance in demanding forestry environments.
Our cranes come in both S and Z architectures: S-type cranes offer longer outreach and a simpler design, while Z-type cranes fold into a compact position for safer transport and improved operator safety – especially when mounted behind the cab, as the boom is folded away from the logs.
Cut-to-length cranes
Effective and agile cranes designed for cut-to-length logging – ideal for fast, repetitive loading in narrow forest roads or terminals. Easy to transport, quick to deploy.
Application areas:
- Paper mills
- Short timber transport
- Terminal operations
Full-length cranes
Strong, high-capacity cranes made for handling full-length timber. Built for strength, reach and control, even in challenging environments.
Application areas:
- Full-length timber transport
- Heavy-duty forestry logistics
- Sawmill delivery

Built for the toughest jobs in the forest
For decades, LOGLIFT has been the trusted choice for forestry professionals who demand strength, reliability, and precision in every lift. Designed specifically for the challenges of timber handling, LOGLIFT cranes combine strong construction with smooth control to keep your operations productive and safe.
The cranes have strong operator-focused safety with easy top-seat access, three-point contact, extra lighting, and load-holding valves to prevent drops.
Whether you need fast loading cycles, durable performance in extreme conditions, or operator comfort for long shifts, LOGLIFT gives you the confidence to perform day after day. When the forest demands more, LOGLIFT helps you reach further.
Olsbergs valves: State-of-the-art hydraulics
Hiab is the only forestry crane manufacturer that designs and builds the entire crane in-house – including the most advanced hydraulic valve system on the market. At the heart of every Hiab forestry crane is our proprietary Olsbergs valve, engineered specifically for crane use – not adapted from other applications.
Because we own the technology, we optimise it for precision, control and safety in every lift. The result? Smoother, faster and more efficient crane movements, giving operators unmatched responsiveness even in the toughest environments – and delivering greater productivity, reduced fuel consumption and improved safety in every job.
