This invention provides log singulators which allow for the vertical singulation of piles of logs fed from typical in-feed log decks, so that these logs may be fed individually to typical out-feed conveyors. Devices provided by this invention may be high-speed singulators occupying minimal floor space area. Singulators provided by this invention comprise arcuately oscillating lifting devices ("primary lifting devices"), preferably rotating synchronously in opposite directions. Preferably, these singulators elevate logs against vertically successive barriers. These barriers are shaped so that only one of either a largest log or a smallest log, which it is expected that the singulator should handle, can rest on the primary lifting devices and be carried upward at a time. As a result, the lower section of these barriers is shaped in a manner that does not allow two smallest logs to rest side by side on the primary lifting devices, but allows a single smallest or a single largest (or any single log within the range) to rest on the primary lifting devices and be raised upward. Singulators provided by this invention may also comprise an unloading station, which receives the logs from the primary lifting devices and directs them to the out-feed conveyor.
