Forestry equipment is a complex of machines designed for harvesting, skidding, transportation of wood. There are units that perform the removal of knots and the division of harvested 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.
Equipment operation
The logging sector is profitable and in demand, since the tree is considered environmentally friendly material. And therefore, this type of industry will always develop. Now there are various forestry equipment that does its job efficiently. Constantly improving it, thereby improving its characteristics.
Modular units are in demand at logging enterprises. They are popular due to their modifications, because such equipment can be used in various fields. It turns out that only one high-quality tractor is needed, to which additional equipment needs to be hooked . It can be manipulators, buckets, tree cutters, grabs. Manufacturers of forestry equipment perform it on the basis of modern requirements, so it has many functions.
Types of cars
Forestry equipment is divided into 3 types:
- Forwarders - self-propelled machinery that performs harvesting, collection and transportation of wood to warehouses. It consists of a loading arm and a transportation platform. The technique does an excellent job off-road.
- Harvesters are self-propelled complexes designed for felling, primary processing. They cut down trees, eliminate branches, divide logs. The main mechanism is the working head, which has the functions of capturing, felling and processing of trunks.
- Timber trucks - structures used in the transportation of wood.
For many years, the production of forestry equipment has been considered an important area of work for the global manufacturer - the BELARUS brand.
Skidder BELARUS TTP-401M
Forestry machinery of this type collects and stores wood, whips and trees. A tractor runs on diesel fuel. It has an all-wheel drive unit operating at 16 speeds forward and 4 reverse. The maximum speed is 20 km / h.
The tractor has a beam, reinforced wheels, a bottom and a metal guard. Thanks to these characteristics, he carries out skidding on the movement of wood.
Harvester MLX-1046
This complex is produced by Mozyr Engineering Plant OJSC. It is used in felling and deforestation. Due to its compact size, the equipment does not harm the forest and the root system of trees.
In front of the machine is a manipulator, transmission unit and operator's cab. At the back there is a power plant, pumps and tanks that provide hydraulics. The unit moves through the forest easily.
Forest loading and transport complex MPT-471
The machine is one of the most powerful among the equipment of MTZ-Holding. It is used for harvesting wood. The equipment is adapted to the climatic conditions of Russia, so it copes with its task perfectly. It includes the PM-10 multifunctional semi-trailer (10 tons) and the BELARUS L1221-02 tractor equipped with the D-260.2 engine.
Repairs
Productivity of equipment is provided with the help of high-quality and serviceable machines. Therefore, it is important not only that the equipment was purchased from a reliable manufacturer. It is necessary to regularly carry out its maintenance so that the mechanisms are always in good condition.
In addition, timely repairs are needed, which should 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 forestry equipment is carried out after a diagnosis that identifies the causes of the breakdown. Only then a decision is made on the type of recovery. For machines, original spare parts are used. After a professional repair, the technician can work efficiently again.
Russian technology
Changes in the production of Russian cars began to be observed since 2000. Since that time, the development of the domestic market began, which began to supplant imported products. In the photo of the forestry equipment posted in our article, options for this equipment are presented. Russian cars are now not inferior to many foreign counterparts.
So, popular manufacturers include:
- Onega Tractor Plant LLC, which sells a large number of tractors. All his equipment is indispensable in logging.
- The Solombalsky Machine-Building Plant, which also produces high-quality equipment, including hydraulic manipulators and gantry trucks.
- The company "Typhoon" producing various machines and mechanisms.
Russian technology combines quality, reliability, safety. It is easily subjected to professional repair, and after that the equipment serves for a rather long time.
Thus, in the logging sector, you need your own cars. Thanks to them, automation is provided. Workers only manage the equipment, and in the event of a breakdown, the craftsmen eliminate the defects. This area continues to be in demand, since logging is needed in many areas of life.
