Sammendrag
This project considers the conditions under which it might be beneficial to use terrain-going cable-yarders as opposed to building forest roads and yarding the timber directly to roadside. Yarding in the terrain implies that the timber still needs to be forwarded to roadside. However, the relatively low productivity rates achievable with cable yarders increases the cost of forwarding due to long waiting times when distances are short. These systems are found to be a
competitive option when small volumes must be harvested far from a forest road, when there are other considerations to be taken account of in avoiding road construction, or in playing an important role in connection with catastrophes such as widespread wind-fall where road construction cannot be carried out in time to extract the timber.
