Product info
The parallel crane has a unique parallel movement that maintains the same lifting torque over the entire range. Only one cylinder is active for this movement, providing a movement pattern that enables high loading of the trolley.
The crane runs with a low oil flow, which is 60-65% less than a conventional crane. This makes it possible to reduce the speed and save fuel consumption and the environment.
Forestry cranes are normally used together with timber trailers, depending on the load capacity and desired crane reach. They are usually installed directly on the prepared crane base of the trailer.
Another way to install loader cranes is to mount them on agricultural tractors – they are mounted on a 3-point hitch and connected to the tractor’s 3-point linkage system. Forestry cranes are also often used for wood chippers, splitters, etc. Crane operation is the safest and most efficient way to feed the material.
All our cranes are supplied with a boom that is prepared for the installation of a winch. This facilitates subsequent assembly when the need arises. The winch – an important tool for effective work – extends the working area and makes it easier to collect individual logs.
Another fairly important accessory for crane operation is the grab. The P57 crane is equipped with the FB160 grab as standard. A robust construction, high-quality components and a proven design solution contribute to the long service life of the grab. The maximum grab opening width is 1000 mm with a grab area of 0.16 m².
Wooden cranes can be equipped with various control systems depending on customer requirements. As standard, cranes are equipped with mechanical rotary lever control, but you can also choose to upgrade to ON/OFF, electro-hydraulic control system or even a radio-controlled system.
The recommended oil flow for operating the P57 crane is 20 – 25 l/min.
