Jan 11, 2014. /Lesprom Network/. Ponsse launches new C5 and C44+ models in the crane selection. Ponsse’s versatile harvester crane selection provides special power and extra reach for all conditions. An easy-to-use, agile crane and the stability provided by eight wheels greatly increase productivity, as the company said in the press release received by Lesprom Network. 

The exceptionally powerful PONSSE C5 crane provides more lifting power and reliability for PONSSE Ergo harvesters. The slewing power is ensured by two direct-drive slewing motors, and the crane is provided either with external or built-in hydraulic hose set. At our customers’ request, the boom head has been developed so that it allows the use of a multi-plate swing damper at the top of the hanger, which allows the harvester head to be used in a quicker and more controlled way.

The PONSSE C44+ is available for the PONSSE Ergo, Fox and Beaver. The new C44+ crane replaces both the C22+ and C44 models.

The C44+ crane is available with both one and two slewing motors for the PONSSE Ergo, two motors for the PONSSE Fox, and one slewing motor for the PONSSE Beaver.

The flexible usability and excellent efficiency of the PONSSE parallel cranes guarantee efficient and economical performance, while the efficient movements reduce fuel consumption.

PONSSE Ergo, C44+, H7, Keski-Suomen Metsäkymppi Oy, Jere Pasanen and Tapani Vainio, forest machine operators: “The slewing power is greater compared to the previous C44 crane. The slewing movement stops more accurately due to smooth braking of the motor. Furthermore, the boom slewing movement settles well in position when working on slopes.”

Ponsse Plc specialises in the sales, production, maintenance and technology of cut-to-length method forest machines.
