Crane FB73T

FB73T is the largest and most powerful forest crane in the FB series. Its high lifting force, optimized motion paths, and maximal reach of 7,3 meters make it an extremely agile and productive loader for any operations. Crane features a linkage system and a telescopic arm for higher functionality. Considering that this crane will work with heavy loads, most attention on the developing process was focused on the main crane base and telescopic arm.

Heavy-duty slew motor with 4 slewing cylinders that produces a torque of  16 kNm, and a powerful lifting cylinder offers a lifting torque of 48 kNm (net) at maximal reach.

FB73T is engineered for FTG | Källefall trailers FB90D, FB100, FB100-2WD, FB120D, equipped with 4 ton rotator CR400, rotator link with pending brake, grapple FB190, connection of hydraulic hoses to crane column and to rotator by default.

• Slew motor with die-cast iron housing 3-Point attachment frame for tractor available
• Service friendly solutions for hose & wear parts change-out

Many of the construction solutions used in the FB73T 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 timber trailers.

Another possible installation of loading crane is on 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 crane’s operation is grapple. Crane FB73T comes equipped with the grapple FB190WF. 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 1200 mm with a 0.19 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 can choose an upgrade to ON/OFF, Lightweight, Electro-Hydraulic control system, or even Radio-controlled system.

Recommended oil flow to operate the crane FB73T is 40 – 60L/min.
