Made entirely in quebec, metavic log loaders are designed to simplify your work and make your days in the forest better.

Grapple

Pick up more logs each time! With its curved design, the Metavic grapple allows the operator to easily grip logs by rolling them without crushing them. Thanks to this feature, you can increase your lifting capacity, while preserving the quality of your wood!

Boom

Maximize your loads! The unique design of our boom lets you load much closer to the guard. And with our very sturdy protective plate preventing the logs from striking the loader, you can bring cut trees towards you without any fear! So there is more room to increase your productivity!

Control system

Simplify your work! The Metavic control system was designed and tested to ensure simple, efficient and totally ergonomic control. That’s why our hand levers are not installed too low or too far from your operating station, allowing you to optimize their use.

Pressure gauge

Take advantage of all the power your loader has! Our pressure gauge allows you to see with a glance that the oil pressure in the engine is optimal and that you can indeed lift the promised loads. Note that our log loaders have square oil inputs that are welded with a protective guard onto the cylinder. Everything to ensure you use your log loader’s full potential!

Long-reach ring

Prevent breakdowns and mechanical problems! Metavic rings are machined, inserted and welded on either side of the plate for better reach. Combined with hardened steel at the main articulation points, they provide unmatched durability.

  • Comes with a 1/4″ x 80′ steel cable

Stabilizers

Discover an advanced level of stability! With Metavic’s tilting-type stabilizers, you benefit from optimum stability to prevent your cargo from spilling, even when the terrain is very steep or uneven. The standard butterfly model can be replaced at your request with telescopic legs. Whatever you choose, you’ll be able to load and unload with the greatest confidence.
