Harvesting
Our wide range of skills and 25+ years of experience enables us to undertake all types of harvesting work, which will enhance the woodland and its value.
Our harvesting service is capable of large clearfalls, extensive thinning programmes and is sensitive enough to work in recreational, amenity and sporting woods in areas of high population density as well as the hard to get to remote countryside locations. We work successfully with many woodland owners, private management and Forestry England.
We specialise in all aspects of the forestry work including steep working and wet ground.

Buying the timber
Unlike some of the larger harvesting companies instead of just giving you one set price per ton for all the timber, we optimise each individual tree to maximise the yield of highest value products eg logs, chip, bar & Fencing. We then offer you an individual price for each product. Giving you the fairest financial yield of the harvest.
Timber where ever possible is marketed locally to minimise haulage, thus keeping costs down helping to maximise your return and lowering the carbon foot print.

Our Fleet
The Lorries
|
Our Scania R450 has been fully equipped with CTI technology which enables tyre pressures to be reduced automatically, increasing traction and allowing timber lorries to extend the safe use of many forest tracks built for seasonal or intermittent use during the harvesting phase.
This innovative system also helps to maintain the integrity of minor country roads during short periods of high volume traffic, cutting road wear costs to forestry customers. As we have our own lorries we have complete control over the site, Which enables us to move all timber more quickly and efficiently. |
|
The Harvesters
|
We run two purpose built small thinnings harvesters, that are also capable of doing larger scale clearfells.
The advantage of running smaller thinnigs harvesters means that they are lighter, quieter and reduce ground damage. |
|
The Extraction Vehicles
|
We run two types of extraction units.
The first of our extraction units is our purpose built forwarder, which is capable of extracting timber from site quickly and efficiently. The second of our extraction units is an 8 wheel drive tractor and trailer unit, which is not only good at extracting timber with minimal damage but also transporting timber for long distances to where it is accessible by a lorry. It is also narrow which allows it to transport timber down the road. |
|
The Winch Team
|
We have a tractor and winch unit, which we use to winch timber out of steep and tricky locations.
Having our own winch unit allows us to complete whole jobs without having to wait for outside contractors. |
