49. Forestry vehicle

A forestry vehicle is a vehicle designed, equipped or adapted for work connected with forestry and woodland management. It may be used to pull machinery, transport timber, carry equipment or perform operations such as harvesting, forwarding or maintaining forest land.

Forestry vehicles can include tractors, specialised self-propelled machines, trailers and interchangeable equipment. Their registration, driving-licence requirements, maximum speed, road access and technical requirements depend on the vehicle's legal classification and the local traffic regulations.

Can forestry equipment extend beyond the normal width of the vehicle?

Yes. Machinery and attached implements can make a forestry vehicle unusually wide or long. Check the applicable dimensions and special-vehicle rules before using the road. British guidance, for example, includes attached implements in width checks and describes extra arrangements for wide agricultural or forestry vehicles.
