Forestry is a dangerous and tough business with harvesting, forwarding, skidding (dragging), and loading of heavy logs onto trucks over very rough terrain is harsh on machinery and particularly hard on tyres. Log forwarder and skidder machines use special industrial tyres to carry heavy logs, and at about $5000 each ($40,000 per machine), the cost of destroying tyres adds up quickly.
Jock Haris from High Country Logging in NSW says, “Tyres on these Log Forwarding machines are worth protecting. Sharp Stumps, logs or branches jam into a tyre and break the bead, then it’ll go flat without the operators realising it. Running them flat can destroy a good tyre in no time, once you split the sidewall, the tyre is buggered”.
So, to prevent destroying these expensive tyres, Jock has installed LSM Technologies Tyre Monitoring Systems (TMSystems) on his Forwarder machines. The TMSystem will detect a low tyre pressure and alert the Operator via the In-Cab Display and help prevent further damaging the tyre. This gives the Operator a chance to check the tyre and reinflated on site so as not to damage the sidewall.
The Operators are also using the TMSystems to check tyre pressure as part of the Pre-start routine and perform regular checks during operation. “Since being fitted about 2 months ago, the LSM Technologies TMSystems have already saved us at least $10,000 in tyres” Jock said and "That’s a good investment in anyone’s book!".
Jock mentioned, that from now on he’ll be getting any new Tigercat Forwarder machines fitted with LSM Technologies- TMSystems from new.
