This Lemco 8000C is a log loader — sometimes referred to as a knuckleboom loader or log crane — a purpose-built machine used to lift, sort, and load timber at sawmills, log yards, and forest harvesting operations. Lemco is a recognized manufacturer of specialized log-handling equipment, producing loaders and crane systems designed for the demands of the forestry and timber industry.
This unit is powered by a Caterpillar 3126 engine rated at 275 horsepower and fitted with a turbocharger, providing the torque and sustained output required for heavy log-handling work. The drivetrain features an automatic transmission, making the machine straightforward to operate and well-suited to environments where operators are moving and repositioning the unit frequently. Air brakes are fitted as standard, appropriate for a machine of this class and weight.
The loader crane is a Lemco unit with a boom reach of 21 feet, giving the operator a meaningful working radius for reaching across log decks, truck beds, or sorting areas. The grapple measures 42 inches in width, allowing it to handle a substantial volume of logs or large-diameter timber in a single lift.
Running gear consists of 315/80/22.5 tyres, a heavy-duty size commonly found on commercial trucks and large forestry equipment, indicating this loader is mounted on a road-capable or site-mobile carrier. The machine is offered in used condition and is currently located in Mexico.
