Your next bit of gear is right here
Our team of engineers can design and build the right truck and trailer configuration to suit almost any kind of logging job – with a range of axle and bolster options, winch-on and crane set-ups, plus various wood bins and cages. Check out some of our popular builds below.
Log Trucks - Shorts & Longs
Our rugged and dependable log trucks can be customised to suit your needs. Common set-ups include 6x4 or 8x4 two-bolster units.
Log Trailers - 3,4 & 5 Axle
If you need on-highway log trailers, you need a Patchell. Designed for multi-packet transport, these trailers are built with our legendary attention to detail and uncompromising quality.
Winch-On Log Trailers
If you require a custom-built unit, Patchell is the team to talk to. Our self-loading trailers eliminate long wait times at gantries and reduce the risks associated with lifting trailers. Check it out in action here.
Stems Trucks & Trailers - Off-Highway
When you're looking for a trailer that can handle forestry roads without hassle – you’re looking for a Patchell. Our heavy-duty stems units are perfect for off-highway work and can be customised to your needs.
Multi-Bolster Trucks
Built to maximise the transport of short log lengths, Patchell multi-bolster trucks can be engineered to suit your specific requirements. Designed to carry two packets of short logs efficiently and safely.
Convertible Trucks & Trailers - Long Logs On-Highway
No two jobs are the same – you might have long logs one day and short the next. No problem. Patchell convertible trucks and trailer units can be swapped from handling long logs to short ones with minimum hassle.
Self-Loading Crane Trucks & Trailers
Our self-loaders keep you working after the other crews have gone. Our rear-mounted hydraulic cranes let you load both truck and trailer.
Bin Wood Trucks
Need to transport off-cuts and small logs? Patchell can help. Our Bin Wood Units are built tough from quality material by our team of in-house specialists.
Bin Wood Trailers
The same quality and design experience that goes into our Bin Wood trucks goes into our trailers. Can be customised to suit your needs.
Crane Mounted Bin Trucks & Trailers
Patchell self-loading Bin Wood units make clean-up after the harvest crews easy. Fifty years of experience in heavy-equipment design go into every trailer and rear-mounted crane.
Wharf Log Trailers
Engineered for off-highway conditions, our wharf log trailers maximise the safe and efficient movement of logs or containers to wharf side.
20' Demountable Log Cages
Custom-built demountable log cages designed to meet specific operational requirements, optimising safe, efficient loading and unloading.
