Yarders are specialized logging equipment used for transporting felled trees from the cutting site to a landing area where they can be processed and loaded for transport. Utilizing cables and winches, yarders are essential in steep or rugged terrains where ground-based skidding is not feasible, making them vital for efficient and safe timber harvesting operations.
Check the condition of the cables, winches, and hydraulic systems. Verify the machine’s operational history and look for any signs of wear or damage. Maintenance records and previous usage information are also crucial.
Hire a specialized transport service experienced in moving heavy logging equipment. The yarder should be properly disassembled (if necessary), secured, and covered to protect it from the elements during transport.
Regular maintenance includes inspecting and lubricating cables and winches, checking hydraulic fluid levels, and ensuring all safety systems are functioning correctly. Refer to the manufacturer’s manual for specific maintenance schedules and procedures.
