Investing in a new or used forwarder isn’t as easy as just choosing the one you think you need. You’ll have to compare specs and dimensions of forwarders from different manufacturers to decide which one you really need. To find specs, weight and size of a forwarder in our database, you can look for its model, industry or manufacturer. The specs and dimensions of the forwarder you’re looking for should meet the requirements of your job size and environment. Some of the factors to consider when looking for a forwarder is the slope, soil conditions, extraction distance and size of trees. The dimensions of a forwarder for example, should be matched to the length of the log and stem volume it’ll be used to extract. When it comes to wet soil conditions for example, the specs of a forwarder you get should allow you to minimize the soil disturbance and be productive. When buying a used forwarder, it's important to inspect it thoroughly to ensure that its performance is still great. Despite the specs of a forwarder being great, sometimes people dispose of them because they can no longer function as efficiently as they used to. This could be due to being overworked or poor maintenance. Keep in mind that the weight and dimensions of the forwarder you choose should fit on a trailer for easy transport. Our professional specialists recommend the most suitable trailers after looking at the weight and dimensions of a forwarder.
