CTL
Why CTL in Northern Europe
• Limited amount of timber – concise resource • High stumpage price compared to US/Kanada/Russia • Long tradition of CTL – we started with horses in the beginning of 1900
• Saw mills were adapted to CTL from very beginning

Benefits of CTL 
Machine operation costs 
 Only two machines are needed 
lower fuel consumption & labor costs
(also less road transportation of machines) 
In CTL only two machines and operators are needed. 
These machines represent the latest technology so the
unit price is higher than an old fashioned TL machine, but they are also more efficient, fuel-economic and ergonomic  keep the production higher and operating costs lower! 
 Ability to operate on sloped, soft and otherwise demanding areas 
 Safe and comfortable working environment
CTL:
1. Harvester 2. Forwarder 
 Suitability for selective thinnings  the forests will increase in value 
 Less damage on soil & vegetation  environmental acceptance & better value of the forest in the future
TL/FT (min):
1. Feller-buncher 2. Skidder 3. Processor 4. Loader 
 Because the logs are already cut into correct lengths, they can be sorted and processed in proper size classes  Faster further processing 
 Different timber assortments can be transported
directly to correct mills; information flow is
efficient  Better logistics
