How PRC Industrial Supports Reliable Operation in Harsh Conditions

Forestry equipment works in some of the most punishing environments in any industry. From feller bunchers and skidders to harvesters and grinders, every hydraulic system in the woods is exposed to high pressures, extreme temperatures, water ingress, and wood particle contamination. These conditions demand robust, dependable hydraulic solutions—and PRC Industrial delivers.

We supply the forestry industry across the Northeast with Continental hydraulic hose, high-performance fluid power components, expert repairs, and advanced filtration systems built to handle the realities of forestry applications.

Why Forestry Equipment Needs Heavy-Duty Hydraulic Systems

Forestry machinery relies on hydraulic systems for cutting, lifting, loading, and processing heavy timber. But in the field, these systems are constantly challenged by:

  • Abrasive contaminants from wood chips, bark, and dust
  • Moisture from rain, snow, and humidity
  • High-pressure operation in remote, rugged locations
  • Long hours and heavy cycles that stress components

Without proper protection and maintenance, hydraulic systems can suffer from reduced performance, increased downtime, and costly failures.
