Specs

Reduce downtime. Improve cycle times.

The Falcon Hydraulic Yarder turns tight, difficult terrain into manageable, profitable harvest blocks.

Developed to be used with motorized grapple carriages, the Falcon Hydraulic Yarder eliminates the use of time-consuming guy ropes, reliance of constructing large infrastructure and landings while enabling harvest crews to operate in an agile, adaptable extraction sites and processes.

Fast drum speeds communicated by a live data feed ensure that cycle times are quick and extraction of wood is precise.

The Falcon Hydraulic Yarder gives you the tools you need for demanding settings that require the best of both experience and equipment.

Integrated operator controls

The Falcon Hydraulic Yarder control system is a simple, intuitive joystick based configuration integrated with a high quality camera and in-cab monitor system. The integrated joystick gives more control and autonomy to the operator for quicker turn around times.

Going the extra mile

Extra length of cable where it matters most, decreasing line shifts and increasing options when harvest planning.

Move in hours – not days

With a collapsible spar, no guy ropes and over 800m of strawline, adjusting lines within block or packing down is quick, ensuring more time for productive pulling.

Transport and logistic friendly

The Falcon Hydraulic yarder balances the need for lift with the convenience of quicker transportation with a 11m collapsible spar. This reduces regulatory costs while still remaining safe and within best-practice.

Eyes where you need them

Haul at ease with multiple high-quality camera views providing wide-range vision via two drum cameras.

Performance over infrastructure

The Falcon Hydraulic Yarder has high performance in low infrastructure blocks, saving time, environmental impacts and costs relating to infrastructure. This help provide more value to your contracts and forest managers.

In-cab experience like no other

Simple yet intuitive in cab operator functions reducing fatigue, operator training providing agility of roles within your crew.
