Mine is very similar, except I have a jib crane instead of a log lift. Can you send or post close up pics of the wedge system?

Give me a few minutes....
 
The wedge is ran by hydraulics...you can raise it up or down on the fly. If you run into a knotty piece you simply lower it all the way down out of the way and just use the upright wedge and then carry...

The single upright wedge is a 2-stage design as it is simple but very effective in larger stuff..

The push plate is a unique design in that the plate is recessed in the middle allowing for a complete split.
