May is heating up, with a number of new products and solutions available to forestry companies and contractors. Logging-on’s second issue of May highlights some of these exciting developments, starting with a new silviculture carrier machine from Tigercat. The 630H wheeled carrier provides a robust solution to bring the same high levels of productivity to silviculture that we are used to in harvesting. Eco Log, in partnership with Epsilon, has released a new crane tip control for their forwarders, which will improve productivity and reduce operator fatigue. Komatsu have launched their new large wheeled 951LX harvester for large timber and demanding conditions. Ponsse continue to embrace technology to improve their business efficiency and customer service, and now they have modernised their ERP solution. Finally, we look at the rise of the battery! The power pack has now become the partner of the generator to bring out about more efficient solutions to those needing power in remote locations or who have intermittent power.
