As sustainability concerns rise, Europe’s forestry sector faces heightened scrutiny. Blocking imports from sanctioned regions, regulating harvest volumes, and harvesting without disrupting the forest’s ecosystem are among its biggest challenges. In this context, Terri’s lightweight Terri 3 forestry machine is the perfect tool. Driven by eight MS08 wheel motors, it meets the market’s need for non-disruptive, light footprint tree harvesting.

A Nimble Machine Fit for Sustainable Forestry

Headquarted in Älmhult, Southern Sweden, Terri has successfully carved out a share of the tree harvesting market alongside industry global leaders. Much of its growth stems from the unique design of the Terri 3: weighing between 6 and 8.5 tons, roughly half the weight of its competitors, it satisfies the contractor’s preference for selective cutting while preserving the topsoil. This is especially critical as warmer winters leave the forest floor softer and more vulnerable to damage.

Poclain’s Supply Bolsters the Success of the Terri 3

Integrating components with an impeccable brand image is another of the machine’s assets.To date, roughly 1,200 Poclain motors have been at work, with only minimal failures reported.

Poclain’s direct drive configuration also provides unmatched stability, as the motors housed in the wheel hub anchor the machine to the ground and allow for 70 cm of ground clearance. They enable the Terri 3 machine to work on steep inclines and uneven terrain despite the machine’s narrow build.

Looking ahead, Terri intends to refine the design of the Terri 3 further, enhancing its intelligence to adapt dynamically to the ground conditions and increasing the vehicle’s fuel efficiency. They value Poclain’s support as they hone in on optimizing fuel consumption, as well as when it comes to expanding their sales territory, as Poclain’s global presence guarantees consistent technical support worldwide.
