Waratah Forestry Equipment celebrate their 50th anniversary

Waratah marked the event by thanking their customers for decades of trust and loyalty to the brand.

Waratah celebrate their 50th anniversary this year thanks to their loyal customers and dedicated team members across the globe. Established in 1973 in Tokoroa, New Zealand, the company manufactured a delimber-feller-buncher with a four-roller fixed head to meet local loggers’ heavy-duty delimbing needs. Following that innovation, a red grapple processor manufactured for the Canadian markets marked the start of the 600 Series line. It cemented Waratah’s place as the original red head in the industry.

Today, Waratah’s full line of harvesting, processing and felling heads are used in a variety of logging applications from cut-to-length hardwood harvesting at the stump, to processing on a landing, felling on steep slopes or debarking on plantations. Waratah continues to build on its past to innovate for the future – manufacturing more productive heads, engineering products with parts that don’t quit and working to earn each customer’s trust every day.
