With its powerful transmission and large load capacity, the Komatsu 895 is a truly productive final felling forwarder. There is an all-new, powerful crane option; the 205F. The Komatsu 895 has also been upgraded with a robust load space, including gate and bunks with telescopic function. In conjunction with this upgrade a new grapple model is presented, the G88H, as well as a new rotator that fits the larger crane. Source: Timberbiz
The Komatsu 895 was introduced in 2013 and has undergone a number of productive upgrades during the years.
With this upgrade, focus is on a new, powerful crane and a load space with a telescopic full-width gate and telescopic bunks. The cooperation with customers has been a guide in this project and experiences from plantation forestry in South America as well as final felling in the Nordic countries, Australia and North America have contributed invaluable input in the development work. The 205F is a brand new, powerful crane with a lifting torque of 205 kNm and a slewing torque of 51.9, kNm. It has been developed with a focus on increased productivity in final felling and plantation forestry.
The crane has a robust, welded crane pillar which together with the inner boom and outer boom provides both good lifting capacity and lifting geometry. Choose between a reach of 7.5/8.5 m with single telescope or 10 m with double telescope. In connection with this, we also offer a brand new, larger grapple model, G88H, with tip-to-tip area 0.55 m2. The new grapple also has a powerful new rotator, the GX.
The new load space consists of a robust, telescopic gate and new, hard-wearing bunks with telescopic widening function.
The entire gate is raised and lowered hydraulically and the foldable wideners can be locked in the retracted or extended position. There is also an option to make the gate movable along the rear frame direction.
The new bunks have a telescopic widening function and can also be equipped with hydraulic height-adjustable stakes. This increases the productivity of loading and unloading by reducing the height that the timber needs to be lifted over the stakes – which also contributes to reduced fuel consumption.
The machine’s frame system, including articulating frame and bearings, has been designed to handle the increased crane capacity and the new load space. The more robust frame also gives the machine better durability in challenging environments. A longer rear frame option is also offered to suit plantation forestry, mainly in South America. It is adapted for the log length of 7.2 meters.
Another new feature is that the hydraulic system is equipped with a hydraulic pump with electric control. This provides benefits such as more even pressure levels and improved efficiency. The hydraulic tank has also been further developed and equipped with a practical new single filter that simplifies maintenance and service.
In summary, the upgraded model offers a combination of higher performance and more robust design, making it a productive and reliable companion in the forest.
