In the palm oil industry, heavy equipment plays a crucial role in increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of field operations. PT Menthobi Karyatama Raya Tbk (MKTR) utilizes various types of heavy machinery for land processing, crop maintenance, and transportation of harvested products.

Heavy Equipment for Land Clearing and Processing

Before oil palm trees are planted, MKTR uses heavy equipment to prepare the land:

• Bulldozer: Used for leveling, clearing, and opening land from bushes and trees.

• Excavator: Used for digging, creating drainage channels, and assisting in the removal of soil or large tree stumps.

• Motor Grader: Used for leveling road surfaces and land to ensure it is ready for planting and easily accessible by operational vehicles.
