4Rivers Equipment offers durable, high-capacity forwarders for sale or rent, built to meet the demanding needs of the forestry industry. Forwarders are essential machines for transporting felled logs from the cutting site to the roadside landing with minimal soil disruption and maximum efficiency. Designed for rugged environments, these machines are critical in timber harvesting operations, especially in areas where ground sensitivity, efficiency, and reduced environmental impact are priorities. Whether you’re managing a logging crew, land-clearing project, or timber contract, a forwarder helps move logs quickly and safely across difficult terrain while preserving site conditions for future use or replanting.
Our inventory includes forwarders from top manufacturers known for their reliability, load capacity, and operator-friendly features. These machines are available in various configurations to match your job size, terrain type, and wood volume. With advanced hydraulic cranes, heavy-duty frames, high flotation tires or tracks, and balanced weight distribution, forwarders can carry significant loads without damaging the forest floor. Renting a forwarder for sale or rent is a practical solution for short-term projects, storm recovery work, or testing equipment before committing to a purchase. For operations with consistent hauling needs, purchasing ensures long-term value, fleet expansion, and better job site planning control.
Modern forwarders are built for both performance and comfort. Enclosed cabs with climate control, ergonomic controls, and 360-degree visibility keep operators comfortable and focused during long hours in the field. Many models are equipped with on-board computer systems and telematics, allowing for tracking of load data, fuel use, and service intervals. This smart technology helps improve productivity, reduce downtime, and streamline fleet management. Combined with customizable log bunks and reach-extending booms, forwarders offer adaptability for a wide variety of harvesting strategies.
