Forestry equipment: types and operation

Forest machinery is a complex of machines intended for harvesting, skidding, and transportation of timber. There are units that perform the removal of boughs and the separation of harvesting wood into assortments. Logging is a difficult job, because there is a danger to people's lives. Therefore, activities should be organized in compliance with safety requirements. Forestry equipment must be reliable.

Operation of equipment

The forestry sector is profitable and in demand, as the tree is considered an environmentally friendly material. And therefore this kind of industry will always develop. Now there is a different logging equipment, qualitatively performing its work. Continuously, it is improving, so that its characteristics improve.

At logging enterprises, modular aggregates are in demand. They are popular due to their modifications, because such equipment can be used in various fields. It turns out that you only need one quality tractor, to which you need to cling additional equipment. It can be manipulators, buckets, tree trimmers, grabs. Manufacturers of logging equipment perform it on the basis of modern requirements, therefore it possesses a multitude of functions.

Types of machines

Forestry equipment is divided into 3 types:

• Forwarders - self-propelled machinery, which performs the harvesting, collection and transport of timber to warehouses. It consists of a manipulator for loading and a platform for transportation. The technics perfectly copes with the work in impassability.
• Harvesters are self-propelled complexes intended for felling of forest, primary processing. They cut down trees, eliminate twigs, divide logs. The main mechanism is the working head, which has the functions of gripping, rolls and barrel handling.
• Timber trucks are the structures used in timber transportation.

The production of logging equipment for many years is considered an important direction of work of the world manufacturer - the BELARUS brand.

BELARUS TTP-401M skidder

Forestry equipment of this kind performs collection and storage of wood, whips and trees. The tractor is based on diesel fuel. It has an all-wheel-drive unit operating at 16 speeds forward and 4 back. The maximum speed is 20 km / h.

The tractor has a beam, reinforced wheels, a bottom and a metal guard rail. Due to these characteristics, he performs skidding work on the movement of wood.

Harvester MLS-1046

This complex is produced by JSC "Mozyr Machine-Building Plant". It is used in forest felling and cutting. Due to the compact dimensions, the technique does not harm the forest and the root system of trees.

In front of the machine there is a manipulator, a transmission unit and an operator's cab. Behind there is a power plant, pumps and tanks that provide hydraulics. The unit moves through the forest easily.

The timber loading and transport complex MPT-471

The machine is one of the most powerful among the equipment of MTZ-Holding. It is used for logging. The equipment is adapted to the climatic conditions of Russia, therefore it copes well with its task. It includes a multifunctional semi-trailer PM-10 (10 tons) and a tractor BELARUS L1221-02, equipped with an engine D-260.2.

Repairs

The productivity of technology is provided with the help of high-quality and serviceable machines. Therefore, it is important not only that the equipment is purchased from a reliable manufacturer. It is necessary to regularly perform its maintenance, so that the mechanisms are always in good order.

In addition, we need timely repairs, which must be carried out by specialists. In specialized companies, it is performed by professionals who know a lot about the design features of specific machines.

Repair of logging equipment is carried out after diagnosis, which identifies the causes of breakdown. Only then is a decision made about the type of recovery. Original original spare parts are used for machines. After a professional repair, the technician can again work efficiently.

Russian Technology

Changes in the production of Russian cars have been observed since 2000. Since that time, the development of the domestic market began, which began to displace imported products. On the photo of the forestry equipment placed in our article, variants of this equipment are presented. Russian cars are now inferior to many imported analogues.

So, demanded manufacturers include:

• OOO "Onega Tractor Plant", which sells a large number of tractors. All his technique is indispensable in logging.
• The Solombala machine-building plant, which also produces high-quality machinery, among which hydro-manipulators and portal auto-locomotives.
• Company "Typhoon" producing various machines and mechanisms.

Russian technology combines quality, reliability, safety. It easily undergoes professional repairs, and after that the equipment serves a fairly long time.

Thus, in the logging industry, their machines are needed. Thanks to them, automation of work is provided. Employees only control the equipment, and in the event of a breakdown, the masters eliminate defects. This sphere continues to be in demand, since logging is needed in many areas of life.
