The company continues to replace outdated Soviet-era machinery with modern and powerful equipment. It has purchased new tractors, attachments, and tractor semi-trailers with hydraulic manipulators for loading and transporting timber for the “Slobozhansky Forestry Office” branch.

Over the past two years, 11 tractors and 10 logging semi-trailers have been purchased for forestry and other operations within the branch. According to foresters, such equipment not only helps to complete all assigned tasks on time and efficiently, but also significantly reduces company expenses.

Using the tractors, foresters perform a wide range of tasks — from creating and maintaining firebreaks, soil preparation, and forest crop care to timber transportation, loading and unloading operations, and more.

For example, the Vasyshchivske Forestry Management Subunit in the Kharkiv region recently acquired a modern tractor and a new semi-trailer. Previously, the forestry relied on vehicles from neighboring forestries located at least 35 kilometers away. This caused long waiting times for equipment and led to significant transportation costs.

Now, the forestry can perform all tasks on-site and on time with its own machinery, saving at least 30,000 UAH per month on logistics alone!

Thanks to this, the forestry has no residual timber left in the forest and saves both time and substantial costs on fuel, lubricants, and maintenance.

SFE “Forests of Ukraine” continues to purchase new equipment for forestries across the country as part of its corporate investment program. Every new unit of machinery represents another step toward greater operational efficiency for the enterprise.
