Industry Spotlight: Forestry and Logging

A Precise Trade
The forestry trade is a precise one. Forestry and Logging machinery faces rough terrain, extreme environments, and extreme temperatures. The equipment must have reliable hydraulic cylinders.

Below are common types of machinery used in these industries.

Mulchers
Mulchers use hydraulic cylinders to adjust cutting blades and clear brush and debris from an area. With the aid of hydraulic cylinders, operators can unearth remaining tree stumps and roots and grind them into mulch. Mulchers often attach to excavators, skid steers, track loaders, and tractors.

Feller Bunchers
Feller bunchers gather trees upright during cutting. These motorized machines rapidly bunch several trees together, then cut and fell them. Operators then place the trees in a single stack, and a skidder or forwarder carries that stack to the yard for further processing.

Additional Machinery:
• Lifts
• Trucks
• Tractors
• Stationary cutting equipment

Together, this equipment and the hydraulic cylinders forestry logging operations use allow the industry to be more sustainable, reduce waste, and increase safety.
