BOGIE LIFT

Portal bogies and a slightly tapered wagon frame provide great ground clearance. The bogie lift, which is an optional equipment, makes the forwarder more flexible when working in narrow stands, wet or steep terrain, and when
using the chains.

WIDE LOAD

The front headboard and first bunk are hydraulically adjustable, while the other load bunks, which are screwed to the frame, can be moved into different positions along the frame. The forwarder can alternatively be equipped with width adjustable load bunks (Wide Load) and hydraulic stakes, which increases its flexibility and load area from 4,8 m2 to 5,7 m2.

CABIN

The spacious and comfortable cabin has a modern design where the operator sits in the centre. The large windows and low-set instrument panel provide an uninterrupted view of the immediate and overhead surroundings. The cabin is equipped with a number of storage compartments as well as a food warmer. Noise levels in our cabins are quieter than in cars. Our cabins are leaders in ergonomics among the forestry machines.

COMFORT LINE

The unique cabin suspension system Comfort Line reduces shock, as well as makes crane work and driving in terrain significantly smoother. Since the launch in 2007, Comfort Line has been improved with updated software, more
robust structure and more precise positioning.

FORWARDER COMPUTER

Our forwarder computer has the new Forester F30- and GeoInfo software with GPS-equipment as an option. These simplify planning, reporting and provide accurate follow-up. The forwarder computer consists of a powerful
computer and a large touchscreen. A printer can also be added. Production files from the harvester are received in the forwarder computer. With the help of this, forwarder reporting then shows how much timber has
been driven out to the road – and where it is located – for further transportation by truck. The forwarder computer also generates a follow-up of operations, which shows the operator’s efficiency and machine’s performance to
the machine owner. 

Geoinfo is an option that allows to plan and increase the efficiency of forwarding.
It enables information such as production files and maps with working routes to be automatically transferred from the harvester to the forwarder to facilitate transport planning and ensure that all felled timber is collected.

CRANE

The crane RK 160 gives top-class performance to the machine. The torsionally strong base, powerful lift capacity and a reach of up to 10 metres, ensure quick and efficient loading and unloading.
