Field tests: forest road bearing capacity
/0 Comments/in News, WP3 /by TECH4EFFECTWhat´s going on under your truck wheel? BOKU is preparing for field tests in the North of Austria. Special soil sensors have been burried to investigate the impact of harsh weather conditions on forest road bearing capacity. High resolution soil parameters and weather data are captured and transmitted to BOKU for analysis, contributing to work […]
Two new partners in TECH4EFFECT!
/0 Comments/in Allgemein, News /by TECH4EFFECTConfirming the high relevance of research and innovation in TECH4EFFECT, two additional organisations have recently joined the TECH4EFFECT consortium. The Department of Forest Work Science and Engineering from the University of Goettingen (Germany) is continuing the work previously done at Freiburg University on timber harvesting and site impact. The South African Stellenbosch University is a […]

Data from Canada for the Efficiency Portal
/0 Comments/in News, WP5-6 /by TECH4EFFECTFPInnovation’s Jean Plamondon has recently installed and is testing the first data transfer green box (FeltBoks) on a Tigercat 855HC running a Logmax 7000 XT head in Quebec. The data, which is collected via an android app running on the operator’s device, feeds into the TECH4EFFECT Efficiency Portal and will allow the contractor to not […]
Field trials: Cable-assisted timber harvesting on steep terrain
/0 Comments/in Allgemein, News, WP3 /by TECH4EFFECTIn cable-assisted timber harvesting forces on the cable are enormous. But how strong exactly are they? As part of TECH4EFFECT WP3 , Markus Engel and Andreas Mayerhofer (ÖBf – Austrian Federal Forests ) and Thomas Holzfeind from BOKU carried out investigations on winch assisted harvesting machines in the ÖBf forest district Flachau (Austria). They recorded […]
