Short logs can be moved manually by workers by throwing them downhill, or sliding them with the use of sappies or chutes.

Advantages

Limitations, thresholds

Short distance only
Downhill if sliding or throwing
Very low productivity
Only works with relatively small and short logs that are within the weight capacity of human power

Main use

Example:

machine costs without personal costs: 0,00 Euro/h
personal costs per person: 35,00 Euro/h
number of persons: 1
in total: 35,00 Euro/h
regression line minutes per tree
- max. load per cycle 0,1
- b₀ = 2,0
- b₁ (tree volume) = 1,0
- b₂ (skidding distance) = 0,025
