Has operated in forestry equipment since 1968 and represents a broad range of specialist forestry brands in Australia while also manufacturing forestry grapples domestically. Particularly relevant where a project requires a combination — excavator plus grapple plus harvester head plus winch plus tracks — rather than a single standalone machine.
Randalls occupies an unusual and commercially useful position: it is both a multi-brand distributor and a domestic manufacturer. It represents Ponsse, SP Maskiner, SANY, Duxson, Indexator, Clark Tracks, Falcon Forestry, Risutec and OMEF, and manufactures rotating log grapples in Australia.
That combination matters when a project needs a system rather than a machine. An operation requiring an excavator, a grapple, a harvester head, a winch and bogie tracks is otherwise assembling that from four or five suppliers, each able to point at the others when something does not work together.
For a buyer, the practical value is single-point accountability across the assembly, and the ability to specify combinations that a single-brand dealer cannot offer.
An equipment reference that only says where a brand fits is a brochure.
For commercial forestry the dealer is part of the equipment. Entries marked as confirmed were checked against the supplier's own published information.
Where another supplier would genuinely serve the same requirement better.
Benchmark specifications, buying criteria and specification traps for each class.
Geometry beats size — the grapple should be selected according to material flow.
The cut-to-length machine — fell, delimb, measure, buck and sort in one cycle.
Turns an ordinary excavator into a controlled tree-cutting machine — the fastest-growing attachment category.
Grips before it cuts, and keeps control of the severed section — the attachment for working near assets.
Mechanises terrain that previously required manual falling — but the whole system must be engineered.
