Bulk Timber Logs & Forestry Exports

Raw timber logs, sawn lumber packs, and wood derivatives represent high-volume, organic break bulk cargoes. Handling these goods requires specialized timber grabs and securing methods to prevent sea cargo displacement.

Scan2Freight arranges specialized bulk carriers, crane attachments, and cargo holds equipped with active air circulation systems to preserve wood quality.

Lifting Operations: Logging Grabs & Slings

Moving loose logs from quayside to vessel decks requires automated loading equipment:

• Hydraulic Logging Grabs: Heavy steel grabs attached to vessel or shore cranes, designed to clutch multiple logs in a single lift.
• Wire Rope Slings: Bundling sawn timber packs using wire rope slings to perform high-capacity lifts into holds.

Deck Stowage & Chain Lashings

Timber cargo is often stowed on the weather deck, requiring heavy securing systems:

• Chain Lashings & Wiggle Wires: High-tensile chains and wire ropes are tensioned across the timber deck stacks to prevent wave displacement.
• Water-Tight Hatch Covers: Ensuring under-deck holds remain completely dry while deck timber is allowed to contact seawater.
