About Log Trailers

Early lumberjacks relied on waterways, teams of horses or oxen, and steam-powered locomotives to transport logs they’d cut from a forest to the mill. The process changed in the early 1900s, though, with the development of logging trucks and log trailers. Early log trailers often had steel tires, and the logging trucks that were used to pull them had small engines and low-powered transmissions. Such developments as oversized braking systems, rubber tires, and more powerful engines and transmissions eventually allowed for the transport of trees that were located deeper in forests and typically farther away from waterways or railroads.
