New colours for Logset machines | Forest Machine Magazine

Logset is delighted to announce the new official colours for the machines.

Last Year, Logset celebrated their 30th anniversary. For this occasion, the company manufactured their forwarders and harvesters with a special full black edition with gold decals. The success was such that Logset decided to continue the black style of the machine in the future. Decals and rims goes back to their former color, rims are grey and decals are purple.

The outcome will provide a lighter, yet highly modern and aggressive look. These new standard colours will bring Logset branding to an better level as the company continues its way to the
“SIMPLY BETTER” culture with a genuinely high visual quality.

THE ROUTE FROM GREEN TO BLACK

Back in the days, Logset machines were green. The colour came from Norcar history. Titan-series were presented in 2006 with the modern grey colour. Due to the strong design effort, the Titan series drew plenty of attention in forestry. Arch-shaped cabins soon spread to all machine manufacturers, and are still used everywhere.

Logset machine colour has developed towards black year by year. In the 2017 cabin upgrade, the machine was already called “Black edition”.

Logset machines were originally green, like Norcar machines back in the 1970’s, where Logset history comes from.

Logset TITAN series carried grey colour. The iconic cabin look has spread to harvesters all-around the world.

GT-series launch. The bonnet and sides got more black colour while the cabin was still grey.

Cabin got it’s black colour. Talks of “black edition” was already there.

30 year anniversary edition. Machine was complete black for one year. in 2023 grey rims and purple decals came back.

The 30 year anniversary edition was maybe the most black forest machine ever built. The latest machines have grey rims, that makes the end result bit lighter.
