Smooth and precise operation

Contrary to other harvester heads on the market, those manufactured by Metavic do not produce an impact or jerking motion when measuring logs. As a result, you can reduce the wear on your machine and work more comfortably… and for a longer time!

Another distinctive advantage: the performance and ultra-precise measurement of our cutting system. With their choice of 6 lengths for each mode, our harvester heads allow you to handle all types of wood with great efficiency. In addition, our electronic systems offer unparalleled water-tightness―an advantage that makes all the difference when you consider the damage that can be caused by bad weather and humidity in our forests.
