These products represent years of development and testing in the centre of North American steep-slope logging country. T-Mar’s Log-Champ traction assist vehicles and swing yarders have been built and developed in B.C. to the highest engineering specifications. The Log-Champ swing yarders represent the first modernization of the machine in a generation. These machines, when operating in conjunction with a mechanical harvesting system, can substantially increase productivity over traditional hand-felled operations.
“We are delighted to be the exclusive dealer for T-Mar Industries’ Log-Champ cable assist machines and swing yarders in western Canada,” said David Primrose, Finning Canada executive vice president, core industries. “This partnership allows us to provide a complete package to our forestry customers. We can now combine our world-class Cat Harvest & Felling equipment with an industry-leading cable assist machine and swing yarders to provide customers with increased safety, efficiencies and gains in productivity.”
“We are very excited about this new partnership with Finning Canada,” said George Lambert, president, T-Mar Industries. “This partnership combines the best aspects of both companies and ensures our customers have local access to first class sales, parts and service across western Canada. Customers now have an excellent source for all of their steep-slope logging needs.”
This partnership is a natural fit given T-Mar is the only Canadian producer and designer of cable assist systems and both the Log-Champ cable assist and swing yarders utilize a significant number of Cat components including the engine, transmission, track frames and undercarriage.
