Field tests: forest road bearing capacity
What´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!
Confirming 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 […]

Publication: Modifying the settings of CTL timber harvesting machines to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions
Following extensive field trials, LUKE just published results on experiments with Ponsse harvesters: Adjustment of machine settings had an effect on fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Large energy saving potential in the Nordic and Baltic regions alone: Potential savings may amount to almost 50 million litres of diesel per year. Stem size also had a […]

Data from Canada for the Efficiency Portal
FPInnovation’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
In 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 […]
