HIGHLIGHTS

Safety as a basic principle

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.
In order to guarantee the safe use of machines in such steep terrains the timber harvesting machine has to be adjusted to the expected field of operation, taking into account the slope gradient and changes in weather conditions. The traction winch can significantly contribute to safe working provided that the machine itself is placed in a stable position, including the machine`s own braking efficiency.

Soil protection

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.
With the help of a traction winch the whole braking power and tractive force of the timber harvesting machine can be supported in slope transition terrain at any time. Serious damage to the soil is reduced because of a slip value of less than 20%, which makes it easier to systematically develop logging trails.

With the use of T-WINCH no undesirable rear weight

and no structural alteration works of the basic machine are required. Irrespective of the decision which machine is used for working on steep terrain, a maximum of safety is provided together with a minimum of installation work.

Independent steering along forest roads is possible by uncoupling the rope

An easy release of the safety rope ensures the possibility of leaving the logging trail at any time. A remote storing of the timber, somewhere along the forest road can therefore be achieved easily.

Maximum safety preventing rope breakage

Use of more machines at the same time

T-WINCH 30.2 is always a valuable assistance to safe working.

TECHNICAL DATA

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 leads to a maximum ease of use.
To guarantee a low fuel consumption, pressure and volume flow of both pumps are continuously adjusted to the active load by using a load-sensing system.

USE

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. Information and errors are shown on the remote displays.

TIP:
While driving through extremely rough terrain thetraction rope of the T-WINCH can also be used as a safety rope.

ANCHORING

A stable anchoring of the winch takes place through both the crawler movement and the attached blade, as well as the use of additionally fixed strutting belts. These attachment points ensure that the T-WINCH is able to transmit the maximum tractive forceon the timber harvesting machine.

TIP:
Belts and other slinging accessories can be kept safely in lockable, big dimensioned storage boxes.

OPERATING

After the anchoring is carefully carried out in the terrain the traction winch is ready for use. Tractive force assistance is preset by the operator on the radio transmitter. Change of direction is automatically detected by the T-WINCH.„Set and forget!“

TIP:
Changing the task switch of the T-WINCH into traction mode blocks all other auxiliary functions.

SERVICE ACCESS

All T-WINCHes are designed from Operators for Operators. The safe and easy service access is a main goal in the construction of the machine.

MACHINES

FORWARDER

The T-WINCH supports working on slopes and helps to maximise productivity. The use of chains or belts can often be avoided because of the improved rough terrain driving characteristics of the forwarder. The reduced weight provides benefits in power consumption and prevents damage to the logging trail as well as the ground.

HARVESTER

With a maximum rope length of 560 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 main task of timber harvesting.

Safe and easy connection to the T-WINCH

SKIDDER

In an established forestry road system the use of skidders is still very popular.
T-WINCH can support the work of skidders because of the high speed of the winch; up to 4 km/h and the easy uncoupling of the traction rope. Challenging slopes are no longer a handicap and the tractive force is maximised.

Safe and easy connection to the T-WINCH

EXCAVATOR

For earth moving works on steep slopes, T-WINCH also offers helpful support if the driving power of the crawler movement is not sufficient. The cost-intensive use of expensive inefficient special machines can be reduced to a minimum.
