PALMS forestry cranes are designed for efficient, controlled timber handling across a wide range of applications — from farm forestry and firewood through to contracting work.

Supplied across New Zealand and Australia, these cranes are commonly used alongside PALMS grapples and log trailers to create practical, reliable timber handling setups.

PALMS forestry cranes are increasingly being used across New Zealand where reliability and control are critical — particularly in forestry, contracting and on-farm timber handling.

Often referred to as logging cranes or tractor-mounted forestry cranes, these systems can be configured to suit a wide range of operations. When paired with PALMS trailers and mounted using JAKE tractor mounting systems, they form a complete timber handling solution designed for New Zealand terrain and working conditions.

ALFA Equipment supplies PALMS forestry cranes across New Zealand, with growing demand also supported in Australia.
