Forwarders are forestry machines used to transport cut logs from the harvest site to a landing or roadside staging area. Designed to carry timber rather than drag it, a Forwarders machine typically features a load bunk, crane, and all-terrain chassis for work in rough forest conditions. Common applications include thinning, clear-cut logging, selective harvesting, and post-harvest timber handling. This category is used by logging contractors, timber companies, forestry operators, land management crews, and equipment rental fleets. Forwarders are selected for jobs that require efficient log extraction, reduced ground disturbance, and organized wood transport in commercial forestry operations.
