Pierce Forestry Booms: Simply Beyond Compare.

Our forestry configurations are the standard by which all others are measured. In fact, several manufacturers have even tried to copy our design. But Pierce forestry booms are in a class by themselves. Each one is designed and built to handle the long-term wear and tear demanded by North American loggers and forestry conditions. In fact, we challenge any other manufacturer to know and understand North America’s forests as well as we do!

Pierce booms mean you can count on a top-tier machine with full product support and fast delivery on all service parts. Three more great reasons why our forestry booms have set the standard in the woods for decades.

These high performance booms are Pierce-built right here in North America, which means you can expect rugged construction, plus top-notch support, years of experience, and fast delivery on all service parts. Try getting all that from any other manufacturer!

  • Harvester/Processor
    Booms: Profitability
    Within Range.

    Stop limiting your production by limiting your effective processing working range. After all, you wouldn’t put a processor on a machine designed to dig, right?

    Pierce harvester/processor booms are specially designed and built to maximize your working range, as well as your capacity for thinning, clear-cutting and landing-based processing.

    Our booms feature a two-piece configuration consisting of a straight main boom section and a long, droop nose stick. Pierce booms are engineered for optimum performance with any harvester/processor head in the woods or on the roadside. And our wide range of sizes are available from a 20-metric-ton thinning machine to a 39-metric-ton big timber processor.

    Now you no longer have to settle for “good enough.” Because in today’s competitive environment, it isn’t.

  • Steep Slope Forestry Booms.

    Pierce steep slope booms are clearing the way to extreme slopes of West Coast forests. Mounted on leveling feller bunchers, these purpose-build booms are able to reach a significantly greater segment of the terrain where traditional forestry equipment is only able to reach a portion of a steep job site.

    Pierce live heel configurations are available for directional felling, as well as shovel logging. Also for directional felling, two-piece booms are available, as well. Pierce boom configurations can operate in conjunction with a tethering system which will allow you to virtually eliminate dangerous and costly hand cutting.
