The Junior Arch is a device designed to be used by hand, that weighs just 53 lb, but can lift and carry logs up to 16 inches in diameter and 1000 lb in weight.  The Junior is 68” tall when stood up, or the same length when in the horizontal position.  When horizontal, as when carrying a log, the Junior is 31” wide and 31” tall.  There is an optional extension handle that adds 33” of usable length for extra leverage and walking in front of longer logs, which can add 5lb to the overall weight, when installed with a pin.

The Junior can be used to fell hang-ups in tight stands, by picking the entire cut tree up off the stump and allowing it to be walked back , to free the hang-up of the crowns in other nearby trees. 

The Junior can also be used to bunch up groups of smaller logs, or turn and position logs in nearly any situation.  In most cases the Junior is applied at the midpoint of the log, so that the entire log weight is on the wheels and the effort to move, turn or position is minimal.  Moving logs up hill, or through rough rocky or brushy terrain can be accomplished by “pumping” the Junior, where every yank on the handle will move the log approximately 1 foot.  Generaly, the Junior can be pulled along carrying a log, with minimal effort.  Of course it isn’t motorized, so effectively moving logs is dependent upon some exertion and an increasing skill level in reading the application techniques.  Many customers say that each day they use the Junior or other arches, they find another use.
