Small Cable Yarder

[stig]

It is from a Swedish wet storage of wood from the clean-up after the 2005 hurricane.
Wet meaning that the logs are being soaked by sprinklers to keep them fresh, until the mills can catch up with what's being cut.
Sweden had about 76 000 000 m3 wood knocked over in that storm.
A lot of danish fallers went up there to help out with the clean-up. I did a small job up there to help a friend out.

Is it the store at Byholme?(sp) I had a friend who took his timber truck out there to assist with the haulage. I visited a similar storage in Jonkoping back in '96.

I can't tell which one it is, but they had a couple of HUGE ones. Something like 20 million m3 of wood.
Magnus would most likely know.

That's just about the biggest chip truck I've seen, Ed.

 

[Thor's Hammer]

Yup, pretty big! 44 tonne gross, 6 axles, walking floor, 125 m3 capacity. The company that runs them has over 300 on the road...

 

[rumination]

Wow. What happens with the chips?

 

[Thor's Hammer]

All goes into Lockerbie (yes THAT Lockerbie) biomass fired powerplant.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I can't imagine a chipper shooting the chips to the front of the truck, or is that where the walking floor comes into play?

 

[Thor's Hammer]

It easily shoots chips to the front of the truck. The walking floor is to eject the load.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Yes, I know it's for unloading. I thought maybe that one operated in both directions.

You are correct - they can walk the load to the front if you're unable to shoot right to the back.

A friend of mine has a Morbark 3036 that will fill a 40' box van. I notice that some of those big machines also have auxiliary blowers on the chutes.

 

[Newfie]

Large chippers can fill chip vans (trailers) packed full all day long.

 

[stehansen]

I assume you're real happy with the yarder Ed?

 

[Thor's Hammer]

Yeah, its pretty cool steve

 

[wiley_p]

[Thor's Hammer]

Sure is Dave.

 

[stehansen]

Yeah, its pretty cool steve

Once again, I'm jealous of the God of Thunder.

 

[gf beranek]
