Russian Timber Harvester 'Lesnik 2' Passes Trials in Karelia
Published
Last summer, new KAMAZ machinery underwent trials in Karelia. The equipment in question is a timber harvester and a log truck, both developed under the 'Lesnik 2' project. The manufacturer describes this machinery as sanction-resistant, meaning it is produced without dependence on imported components that have fallen under restrictions.
The trials were conducted in northern forest conditions, where the machinery works with trees and transports timber over difficult roads. Such machines are needed for logging, which is an important part of the economy in many regions of Russia. Experts note that the reliability and ease of repair of such machines are especially important for remote areas.
According to the source, the new timber harvester and log truck are intended to replace some of the equipment that was previously purchased from abroad. However, detailed technical specifications and timelines for serial production are not yet specified in the material.
The development of 'Lesnik 2' shows how Russian manufacturers are seeking solutions for the forestry industry under new economic conditions. Further trial results and plans for delivering the equipment to enterprises will help determine how successfully the project will be implemented.
