Tigercat Opens West Coast Parts Warehouse
Tigercat Industries is pleased to announce that it has opened a new 35,000 sq. ft. (3,250 sq. m) parts warehousing and distribution facility in Kelso, Wash. with a current stock of inventory valued at $3.5 million.
“We are excited about opening the western warehouse for many reasons,” explains Tigercat parts manager, Brian Jonker. “To have inventory closer to our western dealers and customers will reduce both downtime and freight costs. To be able to potentially service any customer for an extra three hours of the day is also a benefit to the entire Tigercat network.”
Tigercat’s increased footprint in the Pacific Northwest demonstrates ongoing financial commitments from Tigercat to grow its support capabilities and improve the customer experience—that is to improve responsiveness, decrease lead times and extend spare parts operational hours into Pacific time zone.

2024 Logger Survey: Working Tough Ground
Loggers across the U.S. responded to Timber Harvesting’s recent 2024 Logger Survey, which showed that contractors in all parts of the country are having a tough time grappling with rising costs and dropping demand in some areas. For example, for the first time ever across 20-plus years of logger surveys, the number of loggers who rate their company’s financial health “poor” (9%) to “very poor” (21%) outnumber those who say “good” (21%) to “very good” (7%)—30% to 28% overall in favor of the negatives.
