A support device, of particular use in logging, comprises a framework of supporting members for supporting an item or a load of items, a flexible securing means and means fortensioning the flexible securing means about the item or load of items. Preferably the flexible securing means 21 comprises two spiced apart flexible elements such as webbing 22 attached at a first end to the supporting members at a crossbar 16 and at a second end to the means for tensioning. The means for tensioning may comprise a tensioning bar 23, a flexible element in the form of webbing attached at a first end to the tensioning bar and at the second end to a ratchet 25 and the ratchet being attached to attachment means in the form of a hook 26. Preferably the supporting members comprise two pairs of crossed legs 11, 12 with crossbars 14, 15 therebetween, and are arranged such that the support device may be folded fat when not in use. In use the attachment means is attached to adjusting bar 19 connected between the mid-point of the front upper crossbar 14 and the mid-point of the front lower cross bar 15. The device may contain roller guards 28 formed of plastics spinning freely on the legs 11, 12 on thecrossbars 14, 16 and on the tensioning bar 23. These prevent damage to the chainsaw and the support device 10 if accidental contact is made between the chainsaw blade and the guards. <IMAGE> |
