This Caterpillar D7G is a logging skidder — a heavy-duty machine built to extract felled timber from the forest, dragging or carrying logs from the cutting site to a landing or roadside collection point. Sometimes referred to as a log skidder or timber skidder, this type of machine is a workhorse of the commercial forestry and logging industries. Caterpillar is one of the world's most recognized manufacturers of heavy construction, earthmoving, and forestry equipment, with a long history of building machines known for their durability and field serviceability.
This example dates to 1975 and carries a 92V serial number prefix. It is offered in used condition from Oregon, USA — a state with a deep commercial forestry tradition, making it a natural source for proven logging equipment.
The machine is equipped with 110-inch sorting grapples, which allow the operator to grip, sort, and maneuver logs efficiently at the landing. It also features a straight blade, adding versatility for site clearing, debris management, and ground preparation work alongside its primary skidding duties.
