The Norwegian Forest Research Institute (Skogforsk) is conducting a study of mechanised harvesting in cable operations.The activity of cable crane systems is heavily reduced the last years in Norway. There are different reasons for this:Low price on wood High direct logging cost Relative low technical development Hard to recruit workers General scepticism to logging in steep terrain, due to environmental influences The positive environmental effect by use of cable crane systems is not well known, and is overshadowed by the negative publicity. Use of cable crane systems may among other things contribute to reduce technical encroachment in the terrain, road building, and wheeled terrain transport.When the harvesting operation in steep terrain is mechanised the safety will increase and the working load will be easier. We hope this will have a positive effect on recruiting workers to this kind of work.The use of harvester inn logging operation will probably also increase the productivity of the cable crane system, and will hopefully give better economy for steep terrain harvesting. A harvester (Menzi Muck A71) is developed in Switzerland for use in steep and difficult terrain. The harvester is based on a Menzi Muck excavator. The machine is mainly build for operations in steep terrain up to 60 %, but with a safety winch it may operate in steepness up to 100%.The Menzi Muck harvester is now working together with a Owren 400 cable crane system in steep terrain (30 70 % steepness), and Skogforsk will during the project period study the productivity and the operating cost of the cable crane system in cooperation with Menzi Muck harvester, and compare the result with ordinary manual felling. This will be done time study and operational statistics.The project started up 1 July 2002, so at this moment we do not have much data, but within March 2003 we will have data enough to present some results.

På vandring i skogen kan du i disse dager få øye på grantre som lyser gule i mot deg. Dette er ikke nissens ferdigpynta juletre, men graner hvor årets nåler er angrepet av granrustsoppen.
