The PLC Tong Loader – with over 400 units currently in operation in North America, Europe and Oceania – is efficient and highly precise in loading lumber onto lug chains, a crucial stage in our optimized world of modern plants. It delivers outstanding performance in sawing, planing, jointing or remanufacturin, for species as easy to mark as White Pine and Cedar, or as heavy as Southern Yellow Pine.
