Forwarders are forestry machines used to collect, carry, and transport cut logs from the harvest site to a landing or roadside location. In the forestry industry, they are commonly used after felling and processing to move timber efficiently while reducing ground disturbance compared with repeated truck access in the woods. Forwarders are used in commercial logging, timber harvesting, thinning operations, and forest management projects. Buyers typically include logging contractors, forestry companies, landowners, timber operators, and equipment rental fleets. The category includes machines suited for moving shortwood, pulpwood, and other cut timber in rough terrain, making Forwarders an important part of mechanized wood extraction and forest operations.
