Abstract
The equipment used in forestry is very largely based on modified agricultural equipment, and even where purpose built equipment is used, the use of forestry equipment is very largely governed by the same legislation as that covering agricultural equipment. Because of the particular requirements for forestry equipment which have to be worked continuously in limiting terrain conditions, the paper will attempt to show how all aspects of ergonomics are considered in the design and operation of the equipment. The paper covers a range of forestry operations and the design features adopted in harvesting operations are illustrated.
