SIA LĪRIKERA-M is a logging company that develops and strengthens sustainable forest management in the territory of Latvia. This company offers all kinds of services related to forest management and development, from forest assessment to forest development.
The tractor owned by the company is used to cut only dry felling because in wet soil, incl. in swamps, it sinks and is unable to ensure proper transportation of wetlands. Therefore, currently, the company does not have the opportunity to buy and perform logging works in the wet felling, due to non-existent equipment. As a result, the production potential is not used and the opportunities for the sale of wet felling are denied. Therefore, a decision was made to make investments in the purchase of tracked forestry equipment.
As a result of the project implementation, the efficiency and competitiveness of SIA LĪRIKERA-M economic activity were significantly increased. New crawler forest equipment was purchased, which will be able to take the cut felling from swamps and wet places and bring it to the road. In addition, the machine is equipped with a manipulator that will ensure the loading of the felling area into the tractor, easing the workload of workers and improving the working conditions of workers.
