Previous studies on log extraction, however, have focused on cable yarding operations with the goal of improving productivity on steep slopes and inaccessible sites, leaving small-shovel operations relatively unexamined. Therefore, the main objectives were to determine small-shovel extraction productivity and costs and to evaluate the impact of related variables on productivity. In addition, we developed a model to estimate productivity under various site conditions. The study took place in 30 case study areas; each area has trees with stems at a diameter at breast height ranging from 18 to 32 cm and a steep slope (greater than 15%). The areas ranged from 241 to 1129 trees per hectare, with conifer, deciduous, and mixed stands.

  • Cable Yarding in North America and New Zealand: a Review of Developments and Practices
    Subject review Cable Yarding in North America and New Zealand: A Review of Developments and Practices Rien Visser, Hunter Harrill Abstract Cable yarders have been an integral part of harvesting timber on steep terrain for over 150 years. They have developed from basic labour intensive steam powered winch operations to sophisti- cated and automated mechanised systems. While European yarder development has focused on relatively small but highly mobile machines operating with standing skyline configurations, the North American and Southern Hemisphere developments have tended towards larger, taller and more powerful machines capable of higher daily production. Two dominant North American brands, Madill and Thunderbird, produced over 3000 yarders and many of their machines continue to work today. Often working with 4 or 5 drums, they were able to develop and utilise an expansive range of rigging configurations to suit different extraction needs. Modern developments continue to focus on increasing production capability and cost-effective- ness suited to clear-cut plantation forestry. With safety becoming more paramount in terms of a licence to operate, a strong preference is given to fully mechanised systems. By definition, these are yarders with rigging systems that support grapple carriages, extracting timber that has been mechanically felled on steep slopes. While mechanical grapple carriages have long been combined with swing yarder systems, the further development of a motorised grapple carriage allows tower yarders to operate without choker-setters. Ergonomic improvements for the operator, long established in European machinery, are being integrated including cab design with greatly improved visibility and partially automated electric over hydraulic control systems. Logic would suggest that, over time, yarder developments will combine the strength and robustness of North American design and the finesse and automation of European design.

The program is endorsed by Seven Seas Cruising Association (SSCA), underwritten by Markel Insurance, and managed by Gowrie Group, a Division of Risk Strategies. CONTENTS INSURANCE MARKET - UPDATE FOR CRUISERS The insurance marketplace has experienced unprecedented forces and undergone significant changes in the past few years. 2020 presented not only a global pandemic, but also delivered a Fear No Horizon continuation of the multi-year trend of extremely active, destructive, and costly Atlantic Hurricane Seasons. Many insurance companies have reacted to the multi-year catastrophic losses, by reevaluating their rates and in some cases, exiting the marine insurance market. These changes Insurance Market Update have left thousands of boat owners with a policy scheduled for non-renewal, and limited options for how to secure new coverage. Did You Know? The Jackline Insurance Program, underwritten by Markel and managed by Gowrie Group, is proud to confirm that we are committed to our cruising clients, and we have no plans to exit from the marine insurance market.

The main purpose of this study was to provide a comparative analysis of two cable yarder technologies (Maxwald, mobile pulley carriage and Savall, semi-automatic carriage), in terms of fuelwood production and cost, from the first thinning of a 33 year old plantation in slope areas of these plantations. The results showed that fuelwood production was cost-effective in both systems (Savall by 15.1 and Maxwald by 3 14.8 ¿ m− ), although the productivity of the Savall system was higher than the Maxwald system 3 1 (6.1 vs. 5.7 m h− ). The respect amounts of productivity have the potential to increase by 27% for the Savall yarder and 25% for the Maxwald yarder upon condition that the delay times are reduced to minimum level by proper training of workers, by a better organization, and planning of operations.

    -- - Forestry Materials Forest Types and Treatments mericans are looking to their forests today for more benefits than r ·~~.'~;:_~B~:;. A ever before-recreation, watershed protection, wildlife, timber, "'--;':r: .";'C: wilderness. Foresters are often able to enhance production of these bene- fits. This book features forestry techniques that are helping to achieve .,;~~.~...t& the American dream for the forest. , ~- ,.- The story is for landolVners, which means it is for everyone. Millions . .~: of Americans own individual tracts of woodland, many have shares in companies that manage forests, and all OWII the public lands managed by government agencies. The forestry profession exists to help all these landowners obtain the benefits they want from forests; but forests have limits. Like all living things, trees are restricted in what they can do and where they can exist. A tree that needs well-drained soil cannot thrive in a marsh. If seeds re- quire bare soil for germination, no amount of urging will get a seedling established on a pile of leaves. The fOllOwing pages describe th.: ways in which stands of trees can be grown under commonly Occllrring forest conditions ill the United States. Originating, growing, and tending stands of trees is called silvicllllllr~ \ I, 'R"7'" -, l'l;l.f\ .. (silva is the Latin word for forest). Without exaggeration, silviculture is the heartbeat of forestry. It is essential when humans wish to manage the forests-to accelerate the production or wildlife, timber, forage, or to in- / crease recreation and watershed values. Of course, some benerits- t • wilderness, a prime example-require that trees be left alone to pursue their' OWII destiny.

S. Forest Service contract logging. The goal of the current research was to test sufficiently with a logging truck hauling near actively nesting goshawks to establish critical thresholds for distance and noise levels, as well as assess current levels of frequency/duration/timing, i.e., concentration of exposure. Collaboration with U.S. Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station (RMRS) and U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center/Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (ERDC/CERL) brought wildlife and acoustical expertise, as well as sophisticated, professional grade, recording equipment to the project.

  • Engineering Safety Solutions
    25 October 2017 ENGINEERING SAFETY SOLUTIONS Reducing the risk of falling from a Madill 124 swing yarder In a perfect world we strive to ELIMINATE risks to health and safety. As we know this is not always possible—either the tools or technology doesn’t exist or it will be financially unviable. So we are then required to take a closer look at how we could MINIMISE the risk. Options may include : • Substituting (totally or partially) the hazard that creates the risk with something of lesser risk, an example of this would be replacing manual felling with mechanized felling where possi- ble. • Isolating the hazard to prevent contact, an example of this would be temporary traffic con- trol when felling within two tree lengths of a road. • Implementing engineering controls, an example of this would be a cut-out or disable switch. These three types of controls are far more reliable than the next layer of controls…...that is rules and procedures, followed by the use of personal protective equipment. This layer of controls is prone to human failure. Engineering controls or engineering safety solutions is the subject of this case study. When working around forestry machines, one of our greatest risks is falling from heights. While working with haulers, some of the routine activities that is crucial to machine operation need to be done at an elevated position, sometimes as high as 14m from the ground. Although fall arrest harnesses are provided for this work, there is some doubt that they are used all the time. People have reported not using the harness because it’s difficult to fit it correctly, it takes time to fit, there is not enough attachment points on the machines, and that they “feel safe” going up the gantry ladder without a harness.

Bridge Engineering Executive Summary The Ministry of Forests (BCMoF) had previously commissioned Buckland & Taylor Ltd. to conduct of review of the Forest Service Bridge Design and Construction Manual and CAN/ CSA-S6-00 (CHBDC) to determine if the existing BCMoF Design Vehicle configurations are reasonably representative of the logging vehicles now being used in the BC forest industry and if these configurations are appropriate for use with the load factors in CHBDC. A survey of logging truck weights conducted by Forest Engineering Research Institute of Canada (FERIC) provided the base data for this analysis and the results of this study were presented to the BCMoF in a report entitled ’MoF Design Vehicle Configuration Analysis and CSA-S6-00 Implication Evaluation’ dated 2003 January 04 (draft report dated 2002 May 13). Although the report made some recommendations for revisions to the L75 Design Vehicle and corresponding load factors, it was concluded that insufficient data was available to accurately assess the L100, L150 and L165 Design Vehicles or trucks conducting movements of logging equipment. Although truck loadings and bridge design capacity requirements could vary significantly between operationing regions and individual operators, comments received from personnel involved in the industry indicated that most companies were having forestry bridges designed for load levels that exceeded the maximum measured weights of most of the logging trucks.
