Wood Skidder 19ton Wheel Forestry Log Skidder

This 19-ton wheel forestry skidder is purpose-built for log skidding and timber collection in challenging environments including primitive forests and steep terrain. The integral cab features a reinforced frame for operator safety, while the rear axle is equipped with a limited slip differential to prevent tire slip on mud, snow, or uneven ground.

The winch is driven by a hydraulic motor and offers two control options: external manual control from outside the machine, or electrohydraulic control from inside the cab. Maximum wire rope traction force reaches 204 kN on the standard configuration and 250 kN on the upgraded version. Wire rope speed is 10 m/min. Drum capacity accommodates Φ22 x 33 mm or Φ28 x 30 mm rope depending on specification. Winch drum diameter is 273 mm or 295 mm with a drum width of 230 mm or 245 mm.

The push plate provides 1,381 mm lifting height and 456 mm cutting depth. Operating weight is 19,700 kg with 178 kW engine power. Wheelbase measures 3,680 mm and tread is 2,622 mm. The transmission delivers four speeds forward and reverse: 6/6, 11/11, 22/22, and 38/38 km/h. Tires are 23.5-25 herringbone pattern for maximum traction. The front axle swings ±12° to maintain ground contact on uneven terrain. Outside turning radius is 6,370 mm. Overall dimensions are 7,700 mm in length, 3,220 mm in width, and 3,550 mm in height.

This skidder is designed for operators who need to extract logs from rough cutting sites to landing areas where loaders take over.
