Prasert Prachit, . (1987) Appropriate timber transportation in Thai upland forest plantation Thailand. [Proceedings Paper]
Abstract
Timber transportation in upland forest plantations of Thailand consists of 3 main types: tractor skidding hauling by elephants and yarding by cable logging systems. Tractor skidding however is more effective only in flat and moderate terrains with maximum slope of about 25 per cent. Hauling by elephants is one of the most appropriate techniques because of their ability to haul timber in all terrain conditions without defined passages and roads. The cable logging systems can transport timber through the air by the operation of yarder without the construction of roads. The appropriate timber transportation in Thai upland forest plantations is the combination of cable logging systems ele0743phants and tractors. Cable logging can be used during all seasons; hauling by elephants is more efficient in some stage of the transportation and tractor skidding is more efficient in difficult hilly and steep terrain. These techniques minimize damage to seedlings in the logging area conserve the soil and maintain ecological and environmental equilibri
