Trailer FB70-2WD

FTG Källefall forestry trailer FB70 has a loading capacity of 7 000 kg, a permissible total weight of 9 000 kg and loading area of 1,9 m². FB70 is a compact forestry trailer with a crane range from 5,1 m to 6.9 m of reach. It is suitable for the transportation of firewood, pulpwood, and other timber logs. Material as brushwood, branches, and any other similar lightweight material can be transported with the help of optional insert plates ordered along with the trailer or supplied later when needed.

The forestry trailer FB70-2WD has the same standard specifications as a model FB70, but it is equipped with an auxiliary wheel drive system (2WD). Driven axle system consists of 2 Black Bruin hub-motors, hydraulic & electronic control units. Black Bruin puts its high torque just where it’s needed – under the load, while more traction power is generated just when it is needed with a simple push of a button thanks to innovative electronic control and protection system. 2WD system provides significant help hauling timber on soft terrain, passing obstacles such as tree stumps, climbing slopes, etc.

FB70-2WD is equipped with 2 Black Bruin B240 hydraulic hub motors on the rear axle for optimum traction. The freewheeling mode features no heating or energy loss problems. Hydraulic or pneumatic brakes on the front axle are available on demand.

System consists of 2 hub-motors, hydraulic & electronic control units. It can be powered by tractor’s hydraulic system or trailer’s independent hydraulic system. Maximum efficiency (both speed and traction power) is achieved at 300 bar pressure, therefore only trailers equipped with independent hydraulic system offer max. performance characteristics.

When advanced traction is not required, hub-motors are triggered to freewheeling mode – drive at high speed (up to 40km/h) fluently without any hydraulic losses and benefit from fuel savings! Motors have extra protection seals against extreme off-road conditions, such as water, dust, and dirt.

Electronic control unit (ECU) ensures effective wheel drive system control and protection – it allows to trigger drive direction and automatically turn-off wheel drive (hub motors) if trailer would be towed too fast due to incorrect gearshift engaged – i.e. there will be insufficient oil flow generated by tractor’s or on-board pump with respect to engines’ RPM for hub motors to run a trailer at some particular speed. This way ECU protects hub-motors from being damaged.

The trailer has a loading length of 4.4 m, which can be extended by attaching a frame extension to the center beam. Frame extension is secured to the beam with bolts. To secure a load on the trailer the frame has welded on sling loops/anchor points for the tensioning belt.

Standard trailer delivered with 3 bunks and 6 stakes in total. Bunks with stakes are used to stack in and hold logs on the trailer. Depending on the log lengths bunks can be moved along the central beam to suit the necessary length. Additional bunks with stakes can be installed if needed for shorter timber logs.

The trailer features original crane base & gate design as well as “easy-climbing” bogie construction with the ability to adjust the longitudinal position for optimal balance. Bogie swing axle’s construction ensures high durability & long service-free operation, while telescopic supports ensure reliable stability during operation.
