Tigercat forwarders, ranging in capacity from 14 to 25 tonne, are designed to achieve high production and lowest cost in the world’s most demanding transporting applications. Tigercat forwarders are built tough for high duty cycle applications, heavy loads and challenging terrain.
Tigercat Forwarder Features
Overview
Tigercat forwarders are built for tough applications and long term durability and uptime with strong frames, oversize pins and high quality cylinders. The heavy duty centre section is equipped with tapered roller bearings in the articulation and oscillation joints. Excellent component layout and easy access to service points makes for quick and painless daily maintenance routines.
The operating environment is expansive and comfortable with optimized sight lines and ergonomics. Sound levels are under 66 db at full 2,200 rpm engine speed. Lighting, operator controls and interface and the climate control systems are well engineered, contributing to high productivity and reduced operator fatigue during long shifts.

Frequently Asked Questions
A forwarder is a tracked or wheeled forestry machine that collects felled logs from the forest floor and transports them to a central landing or road for truck loading. Key tasks include:
- Picking up logs from the harvest area
- Bunching and organizing logs
- Transporting logs to landing areas
- Minimizing ground damage during extraction
- Improving operational efficiency in timber harvesting”
Forwarders have several advantages:
- Load-carrying capacity vs. cable skidding
- Ability to work on steeper terrain with lower ground pressure
- Better load control and stability
- Reduced soil compaction and environmental impact
- Safer operation (logs on machine, not being dragged)
Low ground pressure tracks, designed to protect forest floors
Hydraulic log grapples, rotating grapples, etc.
ROPS/FOPS protection, proximity sensors, camera systems
