Hrvatske šume modernized its mechanization with seven forestry compositions consisting of a forestry truck with a truck upgrade and a Palfinger Epsilon crane on a MAN TGS 33.510 6×4 BL and PK forestry trailers model PSM 200 .
With these seven Palfinger compositions, Hrvatske šume has equipped its branches with a total of seventeen timber compositions in the last five years, all manufactured by the company PK d.o.o. with Palfinger Epsilon cranes. For more than 30 years, the company has been designing and manufacturing its own truck bodies and trailers, expanding its network of authorized service centers, and supporting its partners with reliable and timely delivery of additional equipment and spare parts. The company is based in the Kukuljanovo Industrial Zone near Rijeka, where it operates at two locations. One is where production is organized, while the other is primarily the service of Palfinger cranes, PK truck upgrades and our own trailers and semi-trailers.
The delivered Palfinger Epsilon M12Z83 cranes have a maximum reach of 8.3 m and are equipped with Epsilon grabs for log manipulation, model FG 53. SP160-6.2 forestry superstructures are designed without a floor with underbody protection with a usable length of 6200 mm. They are equipped with steel bearings with 4 pairs of ExTe D7 bunks and front and rear steel protective walls. A steel platform is mounted on the front part of the platform for storing the grab. The platform is equipped with two sets of tensioners with straps to secure the logs during transport.
Timber trailers PSM 200 with a gross weight of 20 t have a loading space of 7000 mm. They are equipped with an INFO center with a scale for measuring the total weight of the trailer. The loading area has an aluminum loading area protection and is equipped with four racks with 4 pairs of aluminum telescopic ExTe D7 bunks for transporting logs. The trailers weigh 3540 kg, which “gives” them 14440 kg of useful load for transporting logs.
