The European bark beetle (Ips typographus) is one of the most feared enemies of coniferous forests. This insect tunnels under the bark of trees, causing them to die within a few weeks. Effective pest management requires speed, precision, and targeted interventions and cable cranes for forestry have proven to be a strategic tool.
Removing Infested Trees Without Damaging the Forest
When a tree is affected by bark beetles, time is critical. Cable cranes allow you to:
- Transport infested trees
- Access steep slopes and dense forests that are unreachable by conventional machinery
- Operate with minimal environmental impact, preserving the surrounding nature
The result? Faster, safer, and more effective operations.
Technology for Safety and Efficiency
Cable cranes for forestry are not just transport systems: they are high-tech installations designed to operate where other machinery cannot reach. Thanks to motorized carriages such as the Skytiger series, it is possible to move large logs over long distances with precision, while ensuring:
- Rapid operations
- Safety
- Sustainability
- Flexibility
According to recent data, in Europe the bark beetle can devastate up to 20–25% of pine trees in an infested area within less than two years, making rapid intervention with efficient tools essential.
