WORLD INNOVATION: SENNEBOGEN 718 FORESTRY - THE SPECIAL CRAWLER HARVESTER

With the 718 Forestry, SENNEBOGEN extends its forest machine product line with a special 24 t class chain harvester. With compact dimensions and specially developed forest telescopic boom, the 718 F is designed for work in dense and difficult forested areas. A robust crawler undercarriage and a multi-function quick change system for various implements make the machine a reliable forest specialist.

The new SENNEBOGEN 718 Forestry is particularly well suited for use on difficult terrain. With a special forest crawler drive unit, and the proven forest telescopic boom, the machine impresses with low consumption values, and particularly due to the high range with extremely compact dimensions and maximum visibility.

Extremely stable, and at the same time ideally gentle on the ground, the specially developed forest crawler drive unit of the 718 F combines these attributes. With generous ground clearance of 0.6 m and a track width of 2.20 m for the long drive unit, with start-up diagonals on both sides, the machine is not only extremely stable, it can also maneuver without hindrance on difficult terrain and with a wet substrate. The robust, two-link plates protected by strong support skids are available to a maximum chain width of 800 mm. Thus ground pressure is reduced to a minimum - this protects the forest floor. Optional rubber supports, dropped outer sides or additional link variants for the crawler drive unit complete the extensive equipment of the undercarriage. The optional blade is routed parallel and is ideally suited for even the hardest implementations.

The powerful and economical Cummins diesel engine in the new SENNEBOGEN 718 Forestry offer 117 kW. Large dimension hydraulic lines and valves ensure optimal energy efficiency. In ECO Mode the machine works at reduced speed in a manner that saves fuel and wear. The clearly structured, service-friendly design with the engine installed on the long side, central lubrication and maintenance points prove themselves in daily operation through fast and easy access. Two separate hydraulic circuits with generously dimensioned lines and valves optimize the oil flow and increase energy efficiency. A separate circuit exclusively supplies the attachments.

EXTREMELY COMPACT AND FLEXIBLE IN USE

With a short rear slewing radius the SENNEBOGEN 718 Forestry remains distinctly slender and maneuverable. This advantage is particularly noticeable when working in confined conditions. Thus skid trails of 4.50 m can be easily traversed with the SENNEBOGEN Forestry 718. The compact dimensions of the 718 F are also an advantage for transport. Even at a chain width of 800 m the transport width of the machine remains under 3.0 m. With a standard flat bed trailer the 718 F can be quickly and easily transported - complex and cost-intensive flat bed trailer and special transports are dispensed with. With different attachments the new SENNEBOGEN 718 Forestry can be used for numerous tasks in the timber and forestry industry. Collector units for the energy timber harvest, such as a harvester head or a log grapple can also be operated for effective loading of the material. Thanks to the quick change system, changing between different units is possible within short times. Thus the SENNEBOGEN 718 Forestry becomes the perfect all-rounder for virtually all areas of implementation in the demanding timber and forestry industry.
