For 50 years, “mac” has been synonymous with reliability in drying.

But the world changes. Regulations change. Costs change.

So we listened to our customers to create a new standard in heat pump drying: “𝗺𝗮𝗰 𝗘𝗩𝗢”. It's not just an update. It's four years of research, development, and certification that reduce:

⚡Your energy consumption thanks to improved components
🧠Management complexity (integrated CAREL intelligence)
🌍Environmental impact (-60% GWP, EU 2030 compliant)

Everything you loved about “mac” remains: reliability, speed, quality.

“The best advice I can give is save every penny you can when the going is good because it will turn bad, and you can get through it.” — Justin Everhart, JEM Forestry

Justin Everhart and his crew at JEM Forestry have built a reputation for tackling some of the steepest, wettest, and most challenging logging ground in Idaho.

A self-described “diehard Tigercat fan,” Everhart runs an impressive lineup that includes a Tigercat 830E feller buncher, LS855E shovel logger, and 625H skidder, alongside Link-Belt shovels with Waratah processing heads, a Tractionline winch assist system, CAT forestry equipment, and more. His latest investment, the Tigercat 625H skidder, has helped extend JEM’s logging season and opened the door to jobs they previously would have had to pass up.

Justin Everhart and his company, JEM Forestry, have earned a reputation for taking on the “worst of the worst” in terms of site conditions. “We’ve gotten good at working on the steepest, wettest, slipperiest sites,” said Everhart.

JEM Forestry is based in Deary in northwest Idaho, a little more than 20 miles east of Moscow, which sits right next to Washington. Everhart and his company work almost exclusively with PotlachDeltic, which merged with Rayonier at the end of January.

Rayonier operates mills in Idaho, the Great Lakes, and the South. It has about 1.2 billion board feet of lumber capacity and produces a wide array of lumber products and plywood. The company owns 931,000 acres of timberland in Idaho, Oregon and Washington and another 3.2 million acres in the South, primarily Texas and the Southeast.

JEM Forestry supplies wood to mills in Saint Maries that manufactures lumber and plywood. Working land owned by Rayonier, JEM primarily harvests grand and Douglas fir and some cedar.

They do considerable work on steep terrain and shovel logging. However, the clay soil in Idaho makes these sites particularly challenging as mud often builds up on equipment tracks and tires. The company relies on a fleet of versatile equipment to work in the wet, slippery conditions.
