60 years of steep slope mechanisation

We build machines that get timber off the hill - SAFELY & PRODUCTIVELY

For sixty years the URUS name has helped define Cable Yarding and now Winch Assist.

From the first mobile tower yarder in 1966 to the excavator-mounted shovel yarders and the TL3021 Winch-Assist systems we design and build today.

Urus is our steep-slope brand: tower yarders, shovel yarders, carriages and traction winches, engineered for line pull, control and uptime where a miss is expensive.

Hin-Tech is our wheeled brand: the loggers and cane loaders that stack, merchandise and load once the wood is on the road.

One holding company, two specialist lines, the same standard — robust machines, made to work, and built by people who have spent decades solving the slope.

This combined heritage provides practical experience in cable yarding, winching, extraction, loading and mobile forestry equipment.

All machines are built to ISO standards, and we are an accredited ISO manufacturer of forestry equipment

It’s not a Yarder, it’s a URUS!

“Our clients are the hard-working men and woman on the hill working smart to get their timber onto the roadside safely.”
— Karl Hinteregger - outgoing Chairman & CEO
