For more than a century, Link-Belt has been designing, engineering, and manufacturing industry-leading forestry equipment, both for durability and innovation. By combining the tried and true practices of the past and the technology of today, Link-Belt has created forestry machinery that is dependable, efficient, and longer-lasting than ever before.
Link-Belt 40 Series forestry machine upgrades are born from discussions with their customers, the loggers that are in the field every day. With easier to access service points, larger fuel tanks, and improved cycle times, Link-Belt harvesters, loaders, processors, and more are built for those that use them in the field.
Forestry machinery cabs have also been improved, both for ease of use and safety. Rearview cameras, 7-inch high-definition color monitors, and full-length track guards make our cabs fully Oregon OSHA/WCB compliant. By meeting the needs of your operators, Link-Belt equipment delivers outstanding productivity and performance.
Upgrades don’t end with the equipment, either. Link-Belt RemoteCARE® is installed on all Link-Belt 40-series forestry road builders, processors, and loaders. This technology is designed to give you a better idea of how, when, and where your machines are being used.
Using GPS-enabled telematics track the movement of your equipment, allowing you to monitor use when you’re not on the job site and improve the security of the equipment. RemoteCARE® will also send you updates on any mechanical issues and send alerts for needed service or maintenance.
The new 40B Series of forestry equipment features design improvements to increase cooling performance, debris management, and serviceability. 40B Series machines were developed with site awareness in mind. Our 270° birds-eye view with WAVES (Wide Angle Visual Enhancement System) is now standard. Couple all this with industry-leading fuel consumption and productivity, it’s a win-win.
Whether you are processing in the brush or on a landing, our 40 Series purpose built Processors can be configured to your application. Equipped with a side entry OSHA approved forestry cab, purpose built droop nose HD boom with high lift option, high and wide undercarriage, factory guarding and all the hydraulics you need to run the most demanding processing heads.
Timber Loaders are used for a variety of forestry applications as shovel loggers, loading trucks, processing trees into logs, and piling brush. As shovel loggers these machines use log grapples to grab onto fallen trees and swing them towards where they need to go, whether that is the roadside / landing for processing or feeding a yarder or skidder to get the trees to the processor. Our Timber Loader line, when equipped with a processing head takes downed timber brought to it by shovel loggers, skidders and yarders and processes the trees into logs ready to be loaded on trucks and taken to the mill site. Timber Loader LBX machines equipped with grapples are an ideal choice for cost effectively loading processed logs onto trucks heading for the mill, selectively grabbing logs from piles and precisely loading them onto the trucks with some models using as little as 3 gal/hour of diesel fuel. Equipped with either grapples or brush rakes our Timber Loader machines can pile brush and reclaim land after harvesting is completed, responsibly managing the environment for future harvests. The timber is down and you need to get it to the mill. Choose our new 40 series shovels to forward the wood to the landing and get it loaded on a truck. Our 5040 and 4640 are our big swing machines and with almost 45’ of reach you will get the wood moved in a hurry. Our 4040 makes an excellent processor carrier by providing ample amounts of oil flow when you need it and processes logs with ease. Sitting on a 350 class undercarriage the machine is very stable and gets around very well on the toughest jobs. Our 3740 and 3240 are both class leaders in their perspective classes and with large oversized undercarriages they not only load log trucks with ease, but work very well in the brush getting wood to the landings.
Whether your maintaining existing forestry roads or pioneering a new mainline our 40 series purpose built Road builder is the best option for you. Comes standard with a side entry OSHA approved forestry cab, purpose built HD boom with high lift option, and all the guarding you need to tackle the toughest jobs.
