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.
