Global Skidders Competitive Landscape Professional Research Report 2025

Research Summary

Skidders are heavy-duty forestry machines used primarily in logging operations to haul felled trees or timber from the forest to loading areas or landing sites. These rugged vehicles are equipped with a grapple or winch mounted at the rear, which is used to drag logs along the ground or skid trails. Skidders are available in various configurations, including wheeled and tracked versions, with different sizes and power ratings to accommodate different terrain conditions and logging requirements. Skidders play a critical role in timber harvesting operations, where they excel in maneuvering through rough terrain and dense vegetation, efficiently extracting logs while minimizing environmental impact. With their ability to navigate challenging terrain and handle heavy loads, skidders are essential machines in the forestry industry, contributing to the efficient and sustainable extraction of timber resources.
