The choice of skidder depends not only on the dimensions of the timber but also on the conditions of the site. For example, long timber can be moved by forestry and cable skidders, while short timber can be moved by carrier skidders and forwarders. If the ground is wet, very wet, or even boggy, we use special tires or bog tracks. This ensures that loads can be optimally distributed despite the poor conditions. The specific equipment of the vehicle depends on the individual requirements of the timber and ranges from a trailer with stanchions to a loading crane. <\/p>\n

The classic forwarder is used as a skidder. The driver is protected by the cab while driving. It is important to always pay attention to the condition of the ground and the trees to prevent potential damage to the stand. It uses a crane arm to collect timber set aside in the stand, temporarily stores it on its skidder trailer, and moves it forward or stacks it along the haulage route in various assortments. The operator must remain fully focused at all times to distinguish between different qualities. This is the only way to ensure a specific haulage. <\/p>\n
We operate either as a fully mechanized team of a harvester and a forwarder or as a partially mechanized system with motor-assisted manual loading. Our machines can even navigate slopes. If the slope is too steep, traction technology is used\u2014either for the timber or for the machine. <\/p>\n
<\/span>Soil-Conserving Log Hauling:<\/span><\/h4>\nTo minimize impact on the forest floor and drive gently through the stand, tracks or chains can be attached to the machines\u2019 wheels. These minimize shear forces and prevent the wheels from sinking too deeply into the forest floor. However, they can only be used for moving within the forest. Paved roads are off-limits, as they can cause permanent damage. <\/p>\n
<\/span>Forwarder Accessories:<\/span><\/h4>\nVarious attachments, such as reinforced stanchions for transport or extended crane booms, can be mounted on the forwarder. In addition, tracks or chains are installed to protect the ground in wet terrain. <\/p>\n

Various types of tractors are used in forestry. Their features and efficiency depend on the operator and the type of work being done. <\/p>\n
A distinction is made between clamping-bench, cable, and specialized forestry tractors. Standard agricultural tractors, for example, are used in combination with rear blades to increasingly skid larger individual logs in small private forests. Specialized users employ forestry-specific tractors. These are not only significantly sturdier but are also specifically designed for skidding operations and are therefore more efficient. Both types are typically cable tractors used for skidding timber on terrain that is difficult to navigate. <\/p>\n
The skidder, on the other hand, transports the logs on a conveyor behind the cab. This method is typically used only in areas with better terrain conditions, specifically for skidding LAS. <\/p>\n
