We have delivered a PK forestry body to the company Hidraulika Drvošped, equipped with a Palfinger Epsilon M12Z83 crane with an outreach of 8.3 meters, and a forestry platform 6200 mm in length featuring a modular floor. The upgrade is mounted on a MAN TGS 33.500 6×4 BL chassis. The vehicle has a payload capacity of 11,300 kg.

The Palfinger Epsilon M12Z83 crane is operated from a high “Classic Drive” seat with manual controls. As with all Epsilon cranes, it is coated using the KTL process for long-term corrosion protection. Hydraulic hoses are routed internally through the crane arm, offering protection from physical damage typically encountered in forest environments. Both the main and auxiliary lift cylinders are protected and fitted with load-holding valves, ensuring that in the event of hydraulic failure, the crane will not drop suddenly. The crane is equipped with an Epsilon FG53 grapple, with a capacity of 0.50 m² and a lifting capacity of 5000 kg.

The forestry platform features a modular floor, allowing for easy replacement. It is 6200 mm long and includes two pairs of ExTe D10 aluminum telescopic stakes, each with a 10-ton capacity. The platform is fitted with a steel front wall, a grapple and crane support mount, and an additional steel runner for transporting cut timber.

Hidraulika Drvošped d.o.o. from Karlovac is a reputable company with a long-standing tradition, operating in both the forestry sector and hydraulic system repairs.
