Forwarders are forestry machines used to transport cut logs from the harvest site to a landing or roadside collection point. Built with a load-carrying bunk and often paired with a crane, they are designed to move timber efficiently over rough terrain while reducing ground disturbance. Common applications include commercial logging, thinning operations, clear-cut recovery, and timber extraction in managed forests. Forwarders are used by logging contractors, timber companies, forestry operators, and land management crews that need reliable material handling in remote or uneven conditions. This category includes machines sized for different harvest volumes, terrain types, and production requirements in forestry operations.
