Strength and stability

Our forwarders for final felling are built to deliver high productivity in the forest. The stable design and high ground clearance allow the forwarder to easily navigate difficult terrain. With their powerful engine, which combines high torque with low fuel consumption, they can also handle tough conditions without compromising on efficiency.

Komatsu 898 8WD is equipped with the new generation hydrostatic transmission with a larger hydrostatic pump and dual hydraulic motors. This provides similar characteristics to the 895 with XT transmission, but with even higher traction force - as much as 345 kN. The machine also offers a spacious load area and a strong crane, making it the perfect choice for demanding jobs.

A robust load space with high capacity

Komatsu forwarders have load spaces characterised by flexibility and the possibility to adapt to your needs. The robust design is fully customised for final felling and plantation forestry.

The load space consists of a robust gate with adjustable height and durable bunks with telescopic width extension. The entire gate can be raised and lowered hydraulically, and the foldable gate wideners can be locked in a folded or unfolded position. The bunks can be equipped with hydraulic stakes which provides more efficient crane operation during loading and unloading - it also contributes to reduced fuel consumption.

Our strongest crane yet

The crane is one of the key components of a productive workday. With the 205F crane option, you get our strongest crane yet with a lifting torque of 205 kNm and a slewing torque of 51.9 kNm.

It is developed with a focus on increased productivity in final cutting and plantation forestry. Combine it with our largest grapple model, G88H, for an even more productive workday. The grapple has a tip-to-tip area of 0.55 m2 and a newly designed, powerful rotator to ensure a smooth transition of the logs from the forest to the roadside.

Handle timber like a pro

Komatsu grapples are designed to deliver high productivity in tough environments. With a large opening and good retraction properties, the grapples make it easy to gather, straighten and grip timber quickly and efficiently.

The 11 different models, including specialised variants for bioenergy and heavy-duty applications, ensure there is a grapple for every need. Their robust design and high durability make them a reliable tool, helping you to work more efficiently and profitably.

Some of our forwarder options

Komatsu Comfort Ride

A forwarder operator spends many hours a day in the cab, making a pleasant and comfortable work environment extremely important. Komatsu Comfort Ride efficiently dampens jolts and vibrations, ensuring an ergonomic work environment. This in turn contributes to higher productivity and better profitability.

The new generation of Komatsu Comfort Ride comes with comfort-enhancing features like adjustable sideways firmness and automatic side levelling at standstill and at low speed. The elevated unloading mode now also works at low speed, to make it smoother to reposition the forwarder at the landing. Great news for all forwarder operators!
