Timber industry
The wood all-rounder.
Weidemann machines have been widely distributed for decades within agriculture - what is more apparent is that their use in the timber industry has arisen from this almost self-evidently. If a machine is already in the yard, you naturally like to utilize its full potential. With the right attachments, “making wood” is not a problem.
Thanks to the strong and again increasing distribution of wood burners and stoves, firewood processing is again in demand and alongside their own supply of firewood, is a good additional source of income for many farmers.
Even at home in the sawmill.
With their maneuverability, compact design and low consumption, Weidemann machines complement the large machine in the sawmill, which perform the heavy works. Loading works, stacking and removing trunks, and filling the energy recuperation systems are their specialism here.
Tasks and applications in the timber industry
Discover the options with some examples.
-
Transport works
With a logging fork, the Weidemann machine is well-suited to holding, stacking and transporting timber logs and weak wood equally. The grip function of the fork provides a secure hold on the timber with the driving and lifting movements.
-
Splitting wood
With professional wood splitting, the powerful Weidemann machines with a high tipping load and/or payload as well as delivery and collection functions can perfectly and efficiently fulfill this - naturally, the subsequent loading of firewood boxes on a trailer is included within this.
-
Compiling piles
At a sawmill, the handling of delivered tree trunks in length-organized piles within the storage facility is a daily recurring task. Required of a working machine for this task are absolute stability and high payloads, as well as a good telescopic arm range.
-
Filling plants
Personal use of the sawdust from the enclosure is customary practice at sawmills. Therefore, the bucket volume, stability of the machine and upwards visibility are of equal relevance for filling systems.
-
Loading works
The storage space for finished goods is restricted in such a ways at a sawmill that trucks must frequently be loaded from one side. This is not a problem with a Weidemann telehandler, because the arm of the machine can reach to the furthest row of loading area.
-
Stacking works
In a sawmill, a Weidemann machine can support the secure stacking of finished goods. Here, the interplay of lifting height, stability and maneuverability fits so that the ideal machine type can be easily determined.
-
Winter service.
Depending on the model, Weidemann machines can be equipped with different snow blades and rear-spreaders. Thus you will receive valuable support during your winter service in clearing the site as well as access and service roads of snow and ice.
-
Cleaning
The removal of timber waste can be resolved mechanically with the different brooms and sweeping machines. Turn your Weidemann into a multi-tool, and depending on the size and condition of the timber waste, select the right attachment for the job.
-
Property maintenance
To mow green spaces it is recommended that the Weidemann machine is equipped with a lawn mower, mulcher, or a flail mower. Likewise available are pruning saws, hedge trimmers, or double-knife mowers to cut hedges, bushes, and trees.
