Many pulp mills receive wood in the form of whole logs. Logs can arrive at a mill by water, barge, rail and most commonly in North America, by truck. Incoming railcars and trucks are scaled to determine their weight and/or volume of logs. Trucks are then normally unloaded by mobile loaders or by overhead cranes. The cranes used for log unloading can have a linear or circular format. Overhead cranes for unloading are initially more capital intensive, but have a number of ongoing benefits. This course covers the benefits as well as some operational and safety considerations related to the use of woodyard cranes.
