APF 2012 forestry show

The 19th International Forestry Exhibition – APF 2012 – took place at the end of last week and looks set to be even bigger than before. Held again on the Ragley Estate in Alcester, Warwickshire, the show attracted several hundred exhibitors scattered over the 140 acre site.

As well as several access exhibitors, the show had plenty for all including the world 25 metre pole climbing championships, the European horse logging championships as well as logging demonstrations and a chainsaw carving competition. However if you just wanted to seek out the latest equipment, then the show’s main show areas and woodland circuit - which winds its way through about a mile of forest - was excellent.
Here are some of the access and lifting highlights.
