Summary: Forwarders are specialized forestry machines designed to transport logs from the felling site to a landing or roadside for further processing or transport.

    Forwarders are specialized forestry machines designed to transport logs from the felling site to a landing or roadside for further processing or transport. They are characterized by their robust construction, articulated steering, and a loading area, typically consisting of a bunk and a crane with a grapple. The crane is used to pick up logs from the ground and load them onto the bunk, and the machine then drives them to the designated area. Forwarders are essential for efficient and environmentally friendly timber extraction, minimizing soil disturbance and damage to the remaining forest.
