Block Lift
The hydraulically powered block lift can be installed on either side of the machine for the ultimate in flexibility. It is constructed out of 3/16" plate and is designed to handle in excess of 500 lbs. The block lift can lift large blocks and act as a staging table to increase productivity.
Hydraulic Wedge Lift
The hydraulically powered wedge lift provides the operator with fingertip control to lift and lower any of the available wedges through 8"of travel. This allows the operator to produce quality firewood no matter the size of wood with minimal effort.
Dual Jacks
The Alpha comes equipped with dual heavy duty jacks to provide both a stable work platform and to facilitate connecting to a tow vehicle. The jacks feature a large base plate so that they can be operated on the most rugged terrain with minimal damages.
Oil Cooler
The Alpha 6 comes equipped with a thermostatically controlled oil cooler to assist in maintaining proper fluid condition. Heat is the enemy of any hydraulic system as it causes seals to break down and turn brittle as well as causing premature fluid degradation. With this large oil cooler the Alpha is able to maintain a comfortable temperature no matter the outside conditions.
