The EU’s New Forest Law and Canada’s Zero Deforestation Act take full effect in 2025. They mandate forestry tracked dumper meet "ground pressure ≤0.08MPa, avoid root damage, noise ≤75 dB," with fines up to €500,000 or bans from FSC-certified forests. Yet most current forestry tracked dumper designs clash with these rules, creating "roadblocks" for compliance.
I. Excessive Ground Pressure: Dual Damage to Soil and Roots
A core "zero deforestation" rule requires forestry tracked dumper ground pressure ≤0.08MPa, demanding sufficient track width/contact ratio to disperse weight. But most equipment falls short:
lNarrow Tracks: Small/medium forestry tracked dumper often use 180×72×38mm or 230×72×46mm tracks with limited contact area. Even at 5-6 ton loads, pressure hits 0.12-0.15MPa — exceeding limits. This reduces soil porosity by 30%, slashing sapling root oxygen/water uptake and survival rates by 20-30%.
lInsufficient Contact Ratio: Traditional equipment has 50-60% contact ratio vs. the ≥70% needed. At 55% ratio, post-operation soil compaction (0-30cm depth) rises 40%, cutting seedling growth by 15% the next year.
II. Collisions with Saplings: Physical Damage as a Compliance "Red Line"
Rules explicitly ban forestry tracked dumper from scraping saplings (≤5cm diameter), yet most designs lack protection:
lUnprotected Cargo Box: Most forestry tracked dumper boxes have rigid metal edges with 5-8cm body gaps. Turning in dense 1.5m rows traps branches or hits trunks. One forest reported 12-15 saplings scraped daily (10% damage rate), triggering FSC audits.
lExcessive Width: Heavy-duty forestry tracked dumper bodies exceed 2.2m width. With European row spacing at 1.2-1.8m, vehicles pass within 20cm of seedlings — even at low speeds, crushing saplings or loosening roots.
III. Noise Pollution: The "Hidden Risk" in Eco-Sensitive Zones
Canada’s Zero Deforestation Act mandates forestry tracked dumper noise ≤75 dB (day) and ≤60 dB (night). Current equipment fails:
lCumulative Powertrain Noise: Units with single-cylinder/small multi-cylinder engines hit 85-90 dB. With hydraulic pump noise, total exceeds 95 dB — far above limits. In sensitive forests, this noise drives birds from nesting areas, reducing local nest rates by 40%.
lLacking Noise Control: Most lack engine insulation or mufflers. Noise travels >50m, disrupting mammal activity cycles and violating the "minimize ecological impact" principle.
Hengwang forestry tracked dumper: Targeted Solutions for "Low-Impact Transport"
Facing "zero deforestation" rules, Hengwang forestry tracked dumper (HW Series) solves these pain points:
lPressure Control: HW4000L uses 320×90×56mm engineering rubber tracks (75% contact ratio). Pressure: 0.07MPa at 6000kg load. HW8000L’s 400×90×68mm tracks + lightweight chassis maintain 0.07MPa at 8000kg — both below 0.08MPa limits.
lSapling Protection: 5mm elastic rubber bumpers on cargo box sides (≤3cm body gap). Sapling scrape rate drops to <2% in 1.5m rows. Body width (1.6-2.2m) adapts to all row spacings, avoiding compression.
lNoise Control: HW5000L/HW8000L feature mufflers and engine insulation. Tested noise: 70-72 dB (meets ≤75 dB standard), minimizing ecological disruption.
Hengwang forestry tracked dumper delivers "low-impact, high-compliance" design for 2025’s "zero deforestation" era — helping customers avoid penalties and operate efficiently.
