Engineering the perfect logger
Overview
The bright red colours of Hin-Tech’s new HT 2.3 Loggers will become a prominent feature of logging operations around the world and serve as testimony to the company’s commitment to meeting clients’ needs.
After repeated requests from customers to design and build a rugged three-wheeled logger, Hin-Tech Manufacturing decided to meet the challenge head-on and surpass the market’s tough expectations. The end result of months of design and engineering produced the HT 2.3 Logger, a machine that not only meets the requirements of the customers, but exceeds expectations.
New Hin-Tech excavator yarder – the muscle behind steep slope harvesting
Hin-Tech Manufacturing director Karl Hinteregger says one of the new models is currently in use by Barberton-based forestry harvesting contractor Imphisi Plant.
The contractor has been using the URUS III UNI 300 for the past four months in the Barberton area in Sappi’s Pinus Ellioti plantations.
The excavator-based yarder is used for environment-friendly uphill and downhill logging. The machine, which is available in 20 ton and 30 ton configurations, pulls felled logs up or down steep hills and slopes, replacing conventional systems such as sledge winches, chutes, animal, ground, and mechanical skidding as well as other more manual intensive cable yarding systems.
