Handled Tools
Please select the desired product from below list to see the specifications.
Cant Hooks
Dixie Industries manufactures Cant Hooks from the highest quality materials available.
Wooden handles are top quality straight grain white mountain hickory hardwood, kiln dried to 18% moisture content, then precision cut to an exact fit.
Duckbill Hooks are drop forged with the bills ground to a fine point. Clasps and extension toe rings are ductile iron castings for long lasting service.
Replacement parts including handles, duckbill hooks, extension toe rings and clasps are available.
Peavies
Dixie Industries manufactures two styles of Peavies for the professional logger: the Tubular Steel Socket Style and the Rafting/Bangor Style.
Handles are top quality straight grain White Mountain Hickory hardwood, kiln dried to 18% moisture content, then precision cut to an exact fit.
Duckbill Hooks are drop forged with the bills ground to a fine point.
The Dixie Bangor style peavey—our lightest tool—features a drop forged pick, precision welded into a drawn carbon steel socket. This one piece unit makes field repairs easier.
Hookaroons
Ergonomically designed for specific tasks within a high production mill environment, our hookaroons excel when extreme light weight & durability are required.
Standard heads are drop forged steel with ground points. Solid Hickory handles are shaped to provide maximum usability
Pike Poles
Dixie Pike Poles are manufactured to withstand extensive use of handling timber in and around water. All pike hooks are manufactured from a single piece of high carbon steel and drop forged.
Aluminium Handle
Anodized aluminum lasts considerably longer than non-anodized aluminum when used in corrosive or wet environments. Dixie Aluminum Pike Poles are considerably lighter than the same lengths made with ash and will not warp or break with continued use. Dixie's exclusive CORE LOK rubber seal assures a watertight barrier. Aluminum handled Pike Poles come with plastic knobs.*
Ash Handle
All Ash handles are second growth American Ash - with straight grain throughout the entire handle length. Ash is used in Pike Poles because it is lighter in weight than other woods and offers extremely long grains increasing resiliency to tearing before breaking.
Midget Pike Poles
Log Jacks
A professional quality multi-use tool for the serious wood cutter. Easily converts into a cant hook by removing the lifting brace.
Duckbill hook is made of drop forged steel. Extension toe rings are ductile iron castings for long lasting service. Handle is made from top quality straight grain White Mountain Hickory, kiln dried to 18% moisture content. Ideal for log sizes 3 to 12".
*other size hooks available on request.
Timber Carriers
Heavy steel swivel allows for free movement permitting timber passage through narrow areas.
Ductile iron clasp provides higher strength. Clasp is open at top and drawn tight by a bolt, eliminating the need for a bolt hole through handle-increasing strength.
Mill Rakes & Brooms
Extra long handles to safely reach under equipment in paper mills, lumber mills & wood processing plants.
