Description

Overview

The NF Crane LC350 is a hydraulic log crane for ATV and compact-tractor loaders. It belongs to the NF-350 family. Use it to pick wood off the ground instead of lifting it by hand.

However, this page covers the crane only. The complete loader is the NF-350, NF-350N, or NF-350W. This is the compact ATV class, not a truck-mounted forestry crane. Therefore, check the fit before you buy.

NF Crane LC350 for ATV log loading

First, start with the reach. The boom length is about 3.5 m, and the max lifting height is about 4.5 m. Then check the boom swing. It is about 45° each way in normal use, and up to about 90°. Next, look at the outriggers. In addition, their height adjustment is about 535 mm, which helps you set a stable base.

Also, shipping in Canada is available through Magog and dealers. Freight is quoted by region. So, confirm the freight quote before you order.

Key features

• Hydraulic log crane for ATV and compact-tractor loaders
• Boom and grapple for picking wood off the ground
• Grapple that opens, closes, and rotates
• Outriggers for a stable base
• Boom swing for stacking beside the trailer
• Built for ATV / UTV log-loader work
• Same parts family as the NF-350 loader
• Optional hydraulic winch and dump box on the trailer

Finally, each feature helps you judge the crane for your job. For example, the boom swing lets you stack beside the trailer. Also, the hydraulic winch and dump box are optional on the trailer.

Specifications

Also, confirm these on the unit you ship. The figures below follow the LC350 / NF-350 crane manual.

• Model: Crane LC350

• Engine on complete loader: about 7 HP gas, electric + recoil

Next, review these specifications before you order. For example, compare the 3.5 m boom with your work area. Then check the 4.5 m lifting height against your loader setup.

The NF Crane LC350 fits the NF-350 family, including NorthForest NF-350, NF-350N, and NF-350W loaders. Also, it is a replacement or spare crane for that family.

NF Crane LC350 fit check

First, confirm your loader is an NF-350, NF-350N, or NF-350W. Next, check the 3.5 m boom and 4.5 m lifting height against your work area. Then confirm whether the grapple is in the crate. Otherwise, the NF-350 grapple and GR10 rotator are separate SKUs.
