About Our Forestry & Logging Equipment Repair Services

Logging machines work brutal hours—extreme loads, abrasive dust, and sub-zero mornings. That abuse shows up first as sluggish hydraulics, boom drift, or mystery CAN-bus alarms. Our factory-trained technicians roll out with manufacturer diagnostic suites and fully stocked service trucks, so your feller buncher, processor, harvesterskidderforwarder, or loader is scoped, repaired, and test-cut before crews lose another shift. When the fix calls for precision machining or complete component rebuilds, we move the unit into our climate-controlled shop on Range Road 232 for teardown, mil-spec cleaning, and re-assembly to OEM spec. Field or shop, you deal with one phone call—and zero finger-pointing.

What Makes Us Different

Continuous training keeps our technicians fluent in the latest load-sensing hydraulics, Tier 4 final engines, and satellite telematics you depend on for production reporting. Because we buy direct from multiple OEM parts vendors, you get full vendor warranty coverage without chasing paperwork months later.

Our four mobile units are outfitted for bush work: 14,000 lb. cranes lift a blown rotator right off the carrier; big-bore air compressors and mobile hydraulic benches reseal cylinders on site; 100-ton track presses swap undercarriage in a gravel landing; and 4×4 drivetrains crawl winter blocks when the plows haven’t touched the resource road yet.

Prefer a controlled environment? Our dual-industry shop tackles complex welding, frame straightening, and full pump & motor overhauls under one roof. There’s no comparable facility within hours—so whether it’s a logging processor or an ag sprayer, you can “call the black sheep” and know it’ll be fixed right.

FAQs

What Areas Do You Serve For Forestry Equipment Repair?

We’re based at 37549 Range Road 232, near Highway 11 and Range Road 232. While most calls come from Central Alberta cut blocks, our federal certification lets us tackle projects as far west as British Columbia and as far north as Nunavut, ensuring loggers across Western Canada have reliable support.

How Often Should I Service My Harvester’s Hydraulic System?

High-duty forestry hydraulics cycle thousands of times per shift, so fluid sampling every 500 hours—and filter changes per the OEM schedule—catch contamination before it scores valve blocks. Regular infrared scans check pump temps, and borescope inspections of main cylinders verify surface integrity. Preventive steps cost far less than a seized pump or cracked barrel.

Why Does My Skidder Lose Power On Steep Grades?

Power loss can stem from clogged fuel filters, turbocharger carbon build-up, or drivetrain regression in the torque converter. A full diagnostic includes fuel-rail pressure tests, turbo boost mapping, and dynamic transmission stall checks. We pair findings with operator feedback to pinpoint the root cause and recommend corrective action and maintenance tweaks.
