Weiler Forestry
New Name. Same Support.
Carter Machinery is pleased to offer Weiler’s purpose-built forestry product line to better serve customers in the forestry industry. Although the name is new to the forestry industry, Weiler has a proven track record with Carter and our customers. This development comes after Caterpillar reached an agreement with Weiler Forestry to purchase the Cat purpose-built forestry business in early 2019.
As a result of the purchase, Carter is offering Weiler’s full line of forestry products – which includes wheel skidders, track feller bunchers, wheel feller bunchers, and knuckleboom loaders. Caterpillar will continue to offer forestry excavators and dozers, in addition to their full line of equipment. The support services that you’ve come to know from Carter will not change – we will continue to support your forestry equipment needs, optimizing your time, labor, fuel, and investment. The arrangement solidifies Carter Machinery’s commitment to fully serving the forestry industry with premium equipment available for purchase and rental.
