What Forwarder Size Do I Want?

It's important to get the right sized forwarder for your given work site. Larger models will be able to offer better output while smaller models will be able to offer better agility. Some forwarder models can be available with a shorter wheelbase without compromising stability or load size, which can be a great choice if maneuverability is a priority.

What Operator Features Do I Want?

Certain features can make operating a forwarder more comfortable, more efficient, or even safer.

For example:

• Joysticks may be able to be set to the user's preferred control pattern.
• A rotating and self-leveling cab can provide better visibility of boom movements.
• Automatic monitoring systems help track work-cycle information, which can be used to improve operator technique.

Where Will I Use the Forwarder?

A standard forwarder should be able to navigate compact dirt with ease. If you frequently work on more challenging terrains, you will want to get a forwarder that's designed with those challenges in mind. Long-bogie versions, for example, can deliver more ground pressure in both soft terrain and rocky terrain.
