MOBILE TRACTION WINCH

A young, dynamic and highly motivated team can be found behind the name ecoforst, whose main target focuses on simplifying the timber harvesting in steep and difficult accessible terrain. Based on the team`s own experiences of many years of work in the field of tree felling, a solution-orientated approach has been at the centre of the construction of T-WINCH. The idea of the construction of an innovative traction winch was born in order to keep safety as high as possible, while keeping damage to a minimum. It allows access to rough terrain while taking into consideration all necessary...

FORCES IN THE RIGHT BALANCE Vupwards T-WINCH SOIL PROTECTION SAFETY AS A BASIC PRINCIPLE Sustainable cultivation means taking care and use of forest areas in a way that maintains or even improves the terrain`s productivity with its output, its regeneration ability and its vitality. Within the last years the development of lighter forestry machines, due to the use of new tensile steels, has contributed to the fact that the limits of passable slopes has steadily increased upwards. With the help of a traction winch the whole braking power and tractive force of the timber harvesting machine can...

INSPIRED DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY Ecoforst builds a traction winch which will ensure the client profits from organising their work more efficiently by the use of modern design, carefully considered operational tasks and quality construction materials. The diesel engine transmits the maximum torque to a double pump unit with adjustable delivery volume. These two pumps power both the closed hydraulic cycle of the winch transmission as well as the open cycle of the additional auxiliary functions. Thus the crawler movement drive and the movement of the plate can be controlled synchronously, which...

EASY AND SAFE ASSEMBLY OF T-WINCH POSITIONING With the help of the compact radio system T-WINCH can be moved to any position in the chosen terrain. Tasks i.e., change of the location through activating the crawler movement, can be handled proportionately. This makes the adjustment of an ideal and safe location for the winch easier. With a maximum rope length of 500 m it is easy to keep the timber harvester safely on the slope during harvesting. During the winter months the harvester operator does not have to worry about driving in steep and rough terrain, but can concentrate fully on his...
