Get a Quote on a Stop Log Lifter

Did you know that Atlas Polar is well recognized as a leader in the stop log lifter equipment business? Our company installed the first Stop Log Lifter system way back in 1972. We now have many happy customers with systems across the country in Alberta, Northern Ontario, Quebec, and Nova Scotia to name a few.

Stop logs are used to control flows in irrigation canals, waste water and sewage treatment plants, pumping stations, and power plant intakes. To understand the value of our hydraulic stop log lifter, it may help to understand how stop logs work. Water levels are controlled by adding or removing individual stop logs from a channel. Before hydraulics came into play, the movement of stop logs was a manual (and sometimes dangerous) process involving multiple workers and hand-cranked winches. The Atlas Polar Stop Log Lifter allows a single operator to add and remove stop logs safely and efficiently.

Our Stop Log Lifter is featured in a new ad in Canadian Dam Bulletin magazine, seen in the attached file.

If you work in the hydro-electric industry you are aware that handling stop logs in waterways can be a pretty dangerous job. I get a great deal of satisfaction from knowing that Atlas Polar offers equipment that has helped make this industry a little safer.

At one time, stop log control was carried out by work crews using hand-cranked winches with lifting hooks manually engaged. The work was challenging at the best of times, often requiring teams of up to 6 individuals. In poor weather, the work was not just difficult – it was dangerous.

The Atlas Polar hydraulic Stop Log Lifter is the ideal solution to removing stop logs from the sluiceway. With this system, a single operator can secure and remove logs, stack them and retrieve and replace them – all in far less time than manual operations allow.

Another great feature of our Stop Log Lifter is its versatility. In fact,versatility is part of the design. The Stop Log Lifter System can be tailored to individual site requirements. Installation is easy and completed within a few hours.
