Türkiye maintains a substantial forest coverage of 21.5
million hectares, representing 26.6% of its total territory. A significant
portion - approximately 75% - of these forested areas is situated on
challenging terrain with gradients exceeding 40%. In Turkish forestry
operations, transportation is accomplished through three primary methods:
manual labor, animal-based transport, and mechanical systems. Skylines are used
for primary transport device. These skylines are Koller K300, URUS MIII, Gantner
and Tajfun MOZ 500GR skylines. Koller K300, URUS MIII and Gantner skylines were
used during logging from forest areas of mountainous Eastern Black Sea Region
of Turkey. In Turkey, forest skylines are various categories such as 1) short
distance skyline (300 m – Koller K300), 2) middle distance skyline (600 m and
800 m – URUS MIII and MOZ 500GR) and 3) long distance skyline (1500 m –
Gantner). This research synthesizes findings from multiple studies conducted by
researchers across Türkiye. Our assessment examines the productivity metrics,
cost-benefit analysis, and practical implementation approaches of skyline
systems utilized in forest management operations. Furthermore, each study
provided detailed operational parameters including transportation distances,
product specifications, quantity metrics, terrain gradients, and volumetric
data. For the Koller K300 and URUS MIII skylines, the average efficiency at a
distance of 225 m and 600 m was determined as 7.20 m³/h and 4.84 m³/h, the
average cost was determined as $8.27/m³ and $5.24/m³. For the Gantner and MOZ
500 GR, the average efficiency at a distance of 1050 m and 125 m was determined
as 4.34 and 6.85 m³/h and the average cost was determined as $9.04/m³ (For
Gantner).
