Tri-Claw Grip • 3,000 lb. Capacity • 1" Carbon-Steel Construction • Self-Tightening Design
Lift, drag, and skid heavy timber with the 44-025 Tri-Claw Log Tongs. The three-claw configuration provides multiple gripping points for a rugged, stable hold on both large and small logs.
Each angled prong is designed to penetrate farther into the wood as pulling force increases. The harder the tongs are pulled, the tighter they grip, helping maintain control while moving timber around farms, wooded properties, firewood operations, and logging sites.

Important Safety Information
Always confirm that the chain, hooks, shackles, connectors, and pulling equipment are properly rated for the intended load. The tong capacity does not increase the working capacity of any other component in the towing or lifting system.
Make sure all three claws are securely engaged before applying force. Keep people and animals clear of the log, tongs, chain, and pulling path. The manufacturer specifically warns never to lift timber above people or animals.
NOTE: Most products require at least some assembly.
