Equipped with the stepless Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) system and the Ponsse K121 loader, the Mammoth’s sturdy frame structures and super-strong hydraulics ensure that large stems and heavy loads can be transported effortlessly, even in the most challenging terrain.
The new forwarder offers the highest productivity when driving distances are long. Less driving is required because more stems can be transported each time.
One of the most prominent new features is the Ponsse Active Seat, developed according to forest machine operators’ requests. The new Active Seat improves usability, as it turns and follows the work environment according to crane movements, increasing the forest machine operator’s productivity. The Active Seat is only available for Ponsse forest machines.
The Mammoth can be equipped with an Active Cabin, an effective cabin suspension system with a simple structure. It helps forest machine operators keep going, even during longer shifts, by suspending any stress on the cabin.
In addition to the Mammoth, the Active Cabin is available for the Buffalo, Elephant and Elephant King forwarders.
The Mammoth can be equipped with a long rear frame, which enables the transport of oversized stems. The Mammoth features the largest load space in the Ponsse product range: 6.8 or 8.0 m2, depending on each customer’s choice.
The Ponsse Active Crane is a loader control system for forwarders, with which the operator controls grapple movements instead of individual functions, allowing the operator to concentrate effectively on working with the loader. Active Crane is easily controlled using two levers, one of which controls the grapple height from the ground, and the other the direction of movement.
