Forwarders are forestry machines used to transport cut logs from the harvest site to a landing or roadside staging area. 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. Forwarders are used in commercial logging, thinning operations, plantation harvesting, and selective cut timber recovery. Typical buyers include logging contractors, forestry companies, land management firms, and timber harvest operators. These machines are selected for jobs that require carrying loads over rough terrain, maintaining productivity in remote areas, and supporting organized wood extraction in managed forest operations.
