An incline conveyor for use in transporting logs from a first elevation to a second elevation in a sawmill. The conveyor includes a support frame and a plurality of rotatable shafts mounted on the support frame at spaced-apart positions between the first and second elevations. Log lifters having at least one log receiving portion are mounted on the rotatable shafts. Each of the shafts is driven by a separate motor mounted on the support frame. The lifters mounted on the shafts may thus be rotated at variable speeds to ensure that logs are discharged from the conveyor at a constant rate (thereby avoiding gaps between successive logs on the discharge conveyor belt). The motors are actuated and controlled by position sensors which detect the position of the logs between the first and second elevations.
