The first machine of its kind - hybrid electric logging yarderFriday 18 Jul 2025
“This is the first machine of its kind anywhere,” says Tyson Lambert, VP of T-Mar Industries Ltd. A logging yarder is a crane like machine that has been used in the industry more than a century. “It’s basically a zipline for logs,” adds Lambert. “You put a log yard in a logging setting that’s inaccessible to machinery.” Called the 7280E Hybrid Electric Drive Yarder, it has taken T-Mar five years to develop, and uses electric drives that share power back and forth like a hybrid vehicle. “(It’s) very different from a traditional machine where it’s all mechanically linked and gears and clutches have to engage to make everything work,’ says Philip Biebach, mechanical engineer for T-Mar Industries Ltd.
