Product info
Crane FB42L is equipped with a 3 ton rotator and grapple FB120 by default and is the ideal forestry crane for small tractors and trailers. Rotator link standardly comes without brake however it can be upgraded to a braked version if needed. Crane is equipped with 4-cylinder slewing motor. All our cranes come with connection of hydraulic hoses to rotator installed.
- Clean construction – hoses well protected in the boom
- Main boom ready for winch fitting
- 3-Point attachment frame for tractor available
Many of the construction solutions used in the FB42L crane are based on heavy-duty professional cranes, which makes FTG loader an extraordinarily durable and reliable machine for forest work. The reliable design keeps productivity high and minimizes maintenance costs.
Forest cranes are normally used along with the timber trailers depending on their loading capacity and desirable crane reach. Their installation usually is directly on trailers drawbar prepared crane base.
Another possible installation of loading crane is on agriculture tractors – mounting them to 3-Point attachment and connecting to tractors 3-Point linkage system. Forest cranes are also widely used for wood chippers, splitters etc. Operation by crane is the safest and most efficient way to feed the material.
All our cranes come with a winch ready boom which makes it easy to install it at a later point when demand rises. Winch – an important tool for effective work – extends the working range and makes it easy to collect single logs.
Another fairly important fixture of the cranes’ operation is grapple. Crane FB42L standardly is equipped with the smallest in a range of grapple FB120. A sturdy construction, high-quality components, and a time-tested design solution contribute to the grapple’s long service life. The maximum grip opening width is 760 mm with 0.12 m2 grip area. All bolts, axle pins, cylinder hose are securely protected.
Wood cranes can be equipped with different control systems according to customers’ wishes. Standardly cranes include mechanical 2 lever/3 coord. valves however you choose an upgrade to ON/OFF, Lightweight, Electro-Hydraulic control system or even Radio-controlled system.
The oil flow necessary to operate the crane FB42L is 20 – 30L/min.
