ENGINEERED IN SLOVAKIA.
BUILT FOR THE WORLD.

EQUUS was founded on more than 12 years of experience in servicing forestry machinery. In 2014, we set out to develop a new generation of forestry tractors in response to the needs of professional operators - combining high performance, long service life, easy maintenance and affordable operating costs.

The first EQUUS prototype was built in 2014, with regular production starting just one year later. Today, we produce 4-5 tractors per month, with 90% of our production exported to customers and partners across Europe and other international markets.

DESIGNED. BUILT.
CONTINUOUSLY IMPROVED.

Every EQUUS is shaped by years of experience, customer feedback and real-world forestry conditions. We continuously improve our machines based on practical experience and the changing needs of modern forestry.

Our team brings together expertise across development, manufacturing, hydraulics, assembly and service, allowing us to combine practical know-how with continuous innovation.

IN-HOUSE PRODUCTION.
COMPLETE CONTROL.

A significant share of every EQUUS tractor is designed and manufactured in-house including frames, cabins, winches, front blades, shields, hydraulic arms, log arches and other key components.

This gives us direct control over quality, durability and integration, while allowing us to develop our own solutions and respond quickly to customer requirements. Our development centre brings engineering, manufacturing experience and customer feedback together, driving the continuous evolution of our machines.
