Firewood Conveyors

The bottleneck in a firewood operation is almost never the splitter. It is the person moving wood away from it. A conveyor takes split wood straight from the processor to the truck, the trailer or the top of the pile, which means you stop handling every piece twice.

Blacks Creek build theirs in Canada on a heavy-duty steel frame with a 17-inch belt and a 4.4HP Honda engine, with a hydraulic motor and remote available instead. Four lengths cover most yards: 16 feet reaching 8 feet high, 20 feet reaching 10, 24 feet reaching 12, and 30 feet reaching 15.

Height is what you are really buying. A 30-foot conveyor putting wood 15 feet up fills a shed or a tall pile that you could never stack by hand, and that changes how much you can store on the same footprint. A manual trailer jack raises and lowers the head, and optional aluminium cleats help on steeper angles.

These are not firewood-only machines either. The same conveyor moves hay, mulch and similar material, which is worth knowing if it will sit idle between firewood seasons. Trash racks are available to screen bark and debris as wood comes off the belt.

Why a Firewood Conveyor

  • Stop Double Handling: Wood goes from processor to pile without a second lift.
  • Up to 15 Feet of Height: Stack taller than you could ever reach by hand.
  • Honda or Hydraulic: A 4.4HP Honda engine, or a hydraulic motor with remote.
  • Not Just Firewood: Also handles hay, mulch and other loose material.

How to Choose a Firewood Conveyor

  • Discharge Height: Work backwards from how high you need to stack, then pick the length that reaches it.
  • Where It Will Sit: A 30-foot conveyor needs room to set up at an angle, not just to store.
  • Power: The Honda engine makes it independent. A hydraulic motor suits yards already running hydraulics.
  • Trash Rack: Worth adding if you sell your firewood, since clean wood stacks and sells better.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a firewood conveyor do?

It carries split firewood from where it is produced to where it is going: a truck bed, a trailer, a shed or a stack. The Blacks Creek conveyor runs on a Honda 4.4HP engine and comes in lengths from 16 to 30 feet. It sounds like a simple machine because it is, but on a firewood operation the conveyor is usually the piece that decides how much you get done in a day.

Do I actually need a conveyor, or is it a luxury?

It comes down to volume. If you split a few cords a year for your own stove, you do not need one. If you are producing to sell, the arithmetic changes completely. A processor or a production splitter cycles far faster than one person can clear the output by hand, so without a conveyor the operator spends the shift bending, carrying and stacking while the machine waits. The conveyor keeps the operator at the machine and the machine running, which is where the productivity actually comes from.

What length conveyor should I buy?

Measure the gap you need to bridge, then add margin for the discharge height. A 16-foot conveyor loads a pickup or a low trailer comfortably. Longer lengths up to 30 feet are for reaching into a high-sided truck, over a wall, or building a tall free-standing stack, because the further the belt runs the higher the far end reaches at a given angle. Buying longer than you need costs money and takes up yard space; buying shorter than you need means moving the conveyor constantly, which defeats the purpose.

Can I use a firewood conveyor with any processor or splitter?

Generally yes, because the conveyor is a standalone machine with its own Honda engine rather than something that plugs into a host. You position it under the discharge of your processor or splitter and it runs independently. What matters is matching the infeed height of the conveyor to the discharge height of your machine, so the wood lands on the belt rather than beside it. Tell us what you are running and we will confirm the setup works before you order.

How do I get a price?

This conveyor is quote-priced because the length you choose changes the machine. Tell us the length you need and where it is going, and we will price it for your setup. Call +1 (307) 212-8335 or email sales@logbearworks.com. If you are building a full production line rather than buying one piece, the same conversation should cover your processor and log deck, which you will find in our firewood processors collection.
