VEVOR Log Skidding Tongs 18" 2-Claw Heavy-Duty Steel, 772 lb Capacity, 360° Rotating Ring

VEVOR's 18-inch log skidding tongs are a heavy-duty steel lifting tool designed to securely grab, lift, drag and transport logs up to 772 lbs (350 kg) with a 360° rotating suspension ring for tangle-free hauling.

Built from thick #45 steel with a textured, rust-resistant finish, these two-claw log tongs combine a large 20" opening, sharp eagle-style hooks, and a sturdy 18" grip to simplify timber handling around the yard, jobsite, or on a trailer. The integrated rotating ring connects to chains, winches, or vehicle hitches so you can move heavy rounds faster and with fewer hands.

How do these tongs grip and secure a log?

The tongs use two curved, sharp-claw hooks that bite into wood and tighten under load so the harder you pull, the firmer the hold becomes. The geometry converts pulling force into clamp pressure, reducing slippage on round or irregular timber.

• 18" grip span for stable centering of logs
• Eagle-claw hook shape for penetrating bark and holding rounds
• 20" maximum opening to accommodate large diameters

What lifting capacity and durability can I expect?

Manufactured from robust #45 steel and finished with a spray-painted, corrosion-resistant coating, the tongs are rated for loads up to 772 lbs (350 kg). The solid construction resists bending during routine skidding and hauling tasks when used within capacity limits.

• Rated maximum load: 772 lbs / 350 kg
• Sturdy welded joints on the suspension ring and claws
• Protective finish to limit rust from outdoor exposure

How does the rotating ring improve handling and safety?

The integrated 360° rotating suspension ring allows the tongs to swivel freely while connected to a chain, winch, or vehicle hitch, preventing twisting and chain entanglement during pulls. That rotation reduces lateral stress and keeps the log aligned behind the towing vehicle.

• Seamless rotation prevents chain kinking and tangles
• Maintains alignment during dragging or hoisting
• Compatible with tractors, ATVs, trucks, and forklifts

What kinds of vehicles and tasks are these tongs suited for?

These log skidding tongs are designed to attach to a wide range of towing points and lifting systems. They work well for yard cleanup, firewood harvesting, farm and landscaping jobs, or any situation where hauling heavy wood or irregular materials is required.

• Use with tractors, trucks, ATVs, winches, or forklifts
• Also useful for moving stone, cable reels, or large hay bales
• Simple single-piece design minimizes maintenance

Who is this for? This VEVOR log tong is intended for homeowners, small-scale loggers, landscapers, and farmers who need a rugged, low-tech tool to lift and skid heavy rounds without complex rigging. It's best for users who understand safe lifting practices and will operate the tongs within the 772 lb capacity.
