Comprehensive Product Range
SATCO products cover the full spectrum of forestry applications. The Directional Felling Heads (such as the SAT420 and SAT630 series) combine powerful felling capability with an integrated loading grapple, enabling operators to fell, control, and load stems efficiently with a single head. These heads are particularly popular for their precision, stability, and ability to improve productivity while reducing the need for additional equipment.
For mechanised harvesting, SATCO offers a range of Harvesting and Processing Heads. Models like the SAT316, SAT323, SAT324HD, and SAT630E deliver excellent delimbing performance, high feed speeds, and accurate length measurement. Whether working with plantation pine, eucalyptus, or native hardwoods, SATCO heads are built to maintain high uptime and consistent performance across varying tree sizes and species.
All SATCO attachments feature heavy-duty construction using premium materials and components. Key innovations include hose-through-centre rotation systems for reduced hose wear, powerful grapples with excellent grip and durability, and robust frames designed to withstand the rigours of daily commercial logging.
Built for Reliability and Performance
What sets SATCO apart is the attention to detail in design and manufacturing. Every head is rigorously tested in New Zealand conditions before leaving the factory. This real-world validation ensures operators receive equipment they can trust in tough environments.
SATCO attachments are also designed with serviceability in mind. Easy access to wear parts and straightforward maintenance procedures help keep machines running longer and reduce downtime, critical factors that directly impact profitability for contractors and forest owners.

The company has established strong presence in key forestry markets including New Zealand, Chile, Australia, and the USA.
