9780265877685: A Computer Program for Determining the Load-Carrying Capability of the Running Skyline (Classic Reprint)

Synopsis

Compute the load-carrying limits of a running skyline with a purpose-built software tool.

This nonfiction guide explains how a specialized computer program analyzes a grapple-rigged skyline system to help planners assess feasibility and safety.

The book describes input needs, from equipment specs to skyline road data, and shows how the program uses catenary equations to determine line tensions and payloads. It also outlines limitations and scenarios where results should be treated as conservative estimates, helping designers avoid overconfidence in complex yarding setups.
  • How to prepare data for ground profiles, spar heights, and line specifications
  • How the program determines critical tensions and the resulting payload capacity
  • When results are applicable and when caution is needed for alternate carriage configurations
  • What the tool implies for planning and evaluating running skyline layouts
Ideal for readers working in timber resource planning, engineering for logging systems, or device setup for skyline yarding.
