Logging machinery is designed to help maximize efficiency and minimize costs during the time-intensive and often dangerous work of logging. There are three different types of logging.: full tree logging, tree length logging, and cut to length logging. Each one has its own equipment, because each one has different steps, and there are different reasons to use each type, as well as different locations that favor one type over another. Full tree logging is a process where a tree is cut and then the whole tree is transported to the roadside.

This is generally done in areas where trees cannot be delimbed, topped, and bucked at the point of the felling. There are many reasons for this, including the density or inaccessibility of the forest. This means that the delimber, the logger, and the like are all waiting at the roadside. In contrast, the tree length logging has the delimbing and topping at the stump, then it is bucked at the roadside. Finally, there is the cut to length logging. A harvester is used for that, and everything happens right at the stump, including the full processing. The limbs and tops are left in the forest.

Clearly for each of these steps, you need to have machines that can perfume a wide variety of tasks. And they need to perform the tasks safely. There are more casualties every year in America in the logging industry than any other industry. That’s because loggers work with heavy equipment and of course trees.
