Nisula Forest Oy
Nisula Forest Oy was established in 1978 with mechanical timber harvesting as its field of business. The company started as a contractor and operated with ten machines. Gradually, the main focus shifted to the manufacturing of forestry machinery. Our products are the result of decades of experience in both practical harvesting work and product development and design. We have developed forestry machines and accessories since the very beginning. The first forwarder was made for the Company’s own use in 1978, a tail processor in 1981, and a grapple processor in 1984. Collaboration with other machine manufacturers started in 1986, when Nisula designed the HN125 motorised crane for Ponsse. A few years later, Nisula designed and made the prototypes for Ponsse’s H53 and H73 harvester heads. The best rally team in the world, made up of top professionals, is the best example of what achieving goals means in practical work. It is great to share these ideas with the team’s partners.

About us
Nisula Forest Oy, located in Jämsä Halli, Finland, is a company that specialises in the design, product development and manufacturing of thinning harvesters, harvester heads, energy wood heads and other forestry machinery and equipment.
At the turn of the millennium, Nisula started collaboration with Partek Forest. The multi-purpose harvester heads designed by Nisula and the company’s strong experience in combi machines provided a good basis for collaboration. As the result, Nisula manufactured harvester heads and multi-purpose heads for Valmet forestry machines for several years.
In 2005, Nisula started to build a retail network of its own.
History
On Nisula’s farm was a Valmet 702 that the brothers believed to be quite suitable for the base of the forwarder. At Valmet’s factory in Suolahti, then a new excavator base was built based on the 702, in practice, the blank had a motor, gearbox, and stern. A cabin that had been there in the noise measurements was purchased from the cab factory in Kuorevesi. Valmet’s portal wheels were turned to point forward, making the nose of the machine shorter by 44 centimetres. Auxiliary frames, armors, cabin sub frame were made to reinforce the front of the machine. The articulated joint and the rear frame were also made from scratch, and the found unused Valmet CK’s tipping bunk was used as a load compartment, from which ultimately only the pivot parts were used. The bogie was made from the mid-lift centre axle of the MAN truck, and so there was a ground clearance of about 50 cm at the back of the machine. A Granab 4010 loader was deployed as the crane.
Today, Nisula is a strong industrial enterprise. Its main products are energy wood heads, harvester heads, multi-purpose harvester heads and parallel cranes. Nisula’s cost-effective N5 harvester head was launched in 2013. Fitting forwarders for multi-purpose use and tractors and crawler excavators for forestry work are also part of Nisula’s core business. We want to offer our customers cost-effective, superb alternatives for thinning and special projects in which it is difficult to keep the bottom line in the black by using mainstream machinery.
The modern production facilities in Halli, Jämsä provide a good setting for developing the business in the years to come. The future strategy of the company includes the development of increasingly cost-effective products for thinning and new alternatives that help the company’s customers succeed in their operations. Productivity, functionality and low operating costs guarantee the result in thinning operations – not horsepower or oversized pumps. We know this from experience.
