Overview

Analysis reveals extraction distance impacts operational costs in forestry forwarders, highlighting efficiency factors.

Key Points

  • Extraction distances significantly impact the operational costs of forestry forwarders, suggesting the need for shorter hauls.
  • Productivity was directly proportional to forest yield, indicating that optimising extraction processes can enhance efficiency.
  • Time and motion studies coupled with cost analysis demonstrated predictive models explaining 92% of the forestry forwarder productivity.
  • Higher-capacity forestry forwarders contributed to improved operational efficiency, achieving an average of 21 m³ per trip.
