Founded in 1992 as a manufacturer of computer-controlled timber harvesting systems, Loglogic is now one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of specialist low ground pressure tracked vehicles and associated equipment. We design, develop, and manufacture solutions for nature conservation, agriculture, forestry, and utility industries worldwide.
Based in Devon, England, Loglogic prides itself on custom engineering. Whether adapting our standard machinery or building bespoke solutions from the ground up, we deliver equipment tailored precisely to our clients' operational requirements.
Core Projects & Equipment
Bigtrak: Heavy-Duty Tracked Carrier
Widely used in construction and utility sectors, the Bigtrak carries payloads up to 5,000 kg over rough terrain at ground pressures under 20% of standard wheeled vehicles. Essential for remote access, variants can be fitted with cranes, specialized bodies, and insulated access platforms rated for live-line working up to 43,000 volts.
Wetland Harvesting & Pneumatic Conveying Systems
Developed to manage neglected reed beds, our Wetland Harvester demonstrated that large-scale conservation management on delicate habitats was viable without relying solely on manual labor. Paired with our Wetland Blower, harvested material can be conveyed pneumatically over 1,500 meters across impassable terrain and rivers. We also manufacture wood chip blowing systems featuring automated load sharing, radio control, and modular chaining capabilities.
Softrak ATV
Built in response to demand from conservation bodies, the Softrak is a multipurpose tool carrier designed for soft or sensitive ground. Featuring front and rear linkages, PTOs, and attachments—such as cut-and-collect systems, mowers, mulchers, chippers, and cranes—nearly 100 Softrak units operate globally across difficult-access terrains.
Reed Harvesting & Baling Systems
A specialized attachment for the Softrak, this system cuts, binds, and bales reed for commercial thatching. Each bale holds approximately 80–100 bundles for efficient mechanical handling. These systems operate throughout the UK and internationally.
Powered Tracked Trailer
Designed to match the low ground pressure of the Softrak, this hydraulically powered trailer carries up to 2,000 kg. Featuring a load-sensing drawbar, it automatically synchronizes its speed with the tractor unit to transport baled or bulk materials off-site efficiently.
Specialist Softrak Projects
RNLI & Tidal Rescue
Commissioned by the RNLI in 2003, we developed a marine-grade Softrak variant for launching and recovering Atlantic 75 and D-Class inshore lifeboats across deep mud, sand, and shingle. Fully galvanized with 316 stainless steel components, these machines operate in saltwater up to 1.0 m deep with 1.5 m waves. Similar variants assist in coastal airport search-and-rescue operations.
Fire & Rescue
Equipped with high-efficiency fire-fogging systems, these specialized Softrak units carry 1,200 liters of water, specialized gear, and a five-person crew to fight upland and moorland fires far beyond the reach of conventional appliances.
Tooltrak
Originally developed for the RNLI to manage beach shingle and launch lifeboats, the commercial Tooltrak is a lightweight, wide-tracked vehicle featuring a two-person cab and bulldozer blade. It is used for wetland maintenance, steep embankment mowing, and winter snow clearance.
Softrak 120
A larger, higher-capacity evolution of the standard Softrak. Powered by a 120 hp Tier 4 Deutz engine, the Softrak 120 maintains ultra-low ground pressure while offering higher output for contractors managing large-scale conservation sites.
Geotechnical Investigation Rigs (GT Series)
Winner of the Innovation Award at the 2009 Ground Engineering Awards, our GT150, GT200, and GT350 rigs conduct site investigations on steep embankments, railway corridors, and dam faces—eliminating the need for costly scaffold platforms or crane lifts.
Autotrek Mobile Sawmills
Launched in 1999 as a mechanized version of the Trekkasaw, the Autotrek features a 100 mm band blade, making it the highest-capacity portable sawmill manufactured in the UK. Selected by the UK Ministry of Defence for field engineering use, every Autotrek ever manufactured remains in active service today.
Special Engineering & Energy Projects
Modular Silt Conveying Systems
Developed in partnership with PICO and Alaska Environmental Contracting, this system offers an alternative to hydraulic dredging for eutrophic lakes. By conveying relatively dry silt directly to adjoining agricultural land, it significantly reduces energy consumption, land footprint, and carbon emissions.
Anaerobic Digestion Systems
In partnership with Qube Renewables Ltd, Loglogic manufactures containerized anaerobic digesters equipped with gas treatment, feed hoppers, and combined heat and power (CHP) grid-tied systems to generate biogas, electricity, and heat from organic waste.
Looking Ahead
Loglogic continues to expand its manufacturing footprint in domestic and export markets. Through continuous R&D, strategic partnerships (including the DECC Wetland Biomass to Energy scheme), and custom engineering, we remain committed to providing robust machinery and renewable energy solutions worldwide.

In 1992, Loglogic's first product - 'Master' - a computerised heavy duty harvesting head.

In 1994. Loglogic's Marcus Frankpitt tests a prototype Bigtrak in Tiverton, Devon. The vehicle was the eventual predecessor to the now well renowned Softrak ATV.

Loglogic's Graham Mitchell collects a prestige 'Ground Engineering Award' from John Bishop at 'The Brewery' in London, 2009.

Loglogic successfully launch an RNLI life-saving dinghy boat into the sea at Bude, England with the development of the 'sea rescue Softrak'.

In 2014, a fleet of brand new, Softrak 120s roll off the production line ready for dispatch across the world.
