T: The correct name is definitely "Prentice." I went to high school in Prentice, Wisconsin -- then home of Prentice Hydraulics, which was the company founded by the man who invented the original pulp loader trucks. Prentice is a tiny town in north-central WI.

Would that be Prentiss? Most common loader you`ll see on a log truck, at least here in NY. Russ

could be, that maybe why I am having trouble trying to figure out what it is. The guy may have listed/spelt it wrong.

It's a log loader, mounted on the side of a truck, basically just an arm that comes out to the side and has a winch cable run through it to load short logs.

That`s interesting, I guess I`ve never seen one of those. The model of choice around here seems to be the Prentiss 120. Does the boom pivot or something? How do you get the log on the truck, or is it for trailer loading? Thanks, Russ

The Prentiss big stick loaders here are called knuckle booms. They look like excavators but usually mounted on trailers here for loading logs on a skidder landing. some are mounted on trucks, some on tracks and some have truck running geard thats driven off a hydromotor used around pulp yards. Some older trucks had a small rotating boom on the top behind the cab or on back that had a pipe that swiveled in another with a short pipe boom for hoisting loads of pulp wood onto the back of the truck. the winches here were made from a narrowed car rearend that had both brakes operating independently. it ran off the pto and had a drum of cable on one brake drum to hoist it you lock the free side up then when at the desired hieght, lock the cable drum side then manually swing it over the truck and release the brake. usually wole loads were lifted at one time.
