Skidding

Skidding is an essential step in forestry work: it involves extracting and moving logs from their felling site to a storage area or a track accessible to transport machinery. This operation, often carried out on difficult terrain (steep slopes, unstable ground, remote wooded areas), requires robust, reliable equipment perfectly suited to the constraints of the forest environment.

At Corderie Gautier, we offer a comprehensive range of skidding equipment designed to meet the needs of professionals: loggers, forest operators, and forestry companies. Grade 80 or 100 steel chains, technical fiber ropes and braids such as Dyneema/HMPE, traction accessories (hooks, shackles, pulleys, thimbles, needles)... each product is selected for its strength, durability, and ease of use in the field.

Whether you are hauling logs with a winch, a tractor, or a forest forwarder, our equipment allows you to work efficiently and safely, whatever the conditions encountered: heavy loads, cluttered ground, restricted access.

Equipping yourself with appropriate skidding material means gaining daily productivity while reducing the hardship and risks associated with this demanding work. Discover our selection of products, designed by pros, for pros.
