HN125 harvester crane
|
The HN125 harvester crane can be termed a legend in its field, and with good reason - it has been in large-scale production since 1987. Its brilliant basic concept bears comparison with any solution on the market; the strong slewing drive, low structure, and in particular the simple and sensibly designed boom system making it undeniably the most effective harvester crane on the market. |

| Imagine a handle in front of you, fastened by a strong spring to its base. Stretch out your hand, grasp the handle and tug it with all your strength towards your chest. Repeat, paying particular attention to your arm movement. Familiar? Exactly! Pulling weight close to you from a distance with the utmost efficiency requires the smooth co-ordination of two correctly proportioned lever arms, the pillar (upper arm) and the lift boom (forearm). This brilliantly simple basic law forms the basis for the matchless efficiency of the HN125 harvester crane.
The HN125's powerful extensions complete the basic structure described, enabling fully balanced work at great distances. Its centre of gravity, considerably lower than that of competing systems, stays at the same height everywhere within its reach, with no long- or short-distance instability. Damped-end cylinders on the extensions, pillar and base add a finishing touch to the crane's well-controlled operation. The HN125 harvester cranes have millions of hours of operating experience behind them, and this has shaped the fine-tuned, dependable, finished whole: The booms function optimally, the welding seams and pins hold, the sliding pieces wear only nominally, the hose device fears neither snow nor ice nor falling treetops - the HN125 is, in short, carefree. Its maintenance and operating costs are also extremely low. The HN125 can be fitted with many optional accessories to simplify use. Centralised manual lubrication means the lubrication points are clustered in the crane base. Easier still, an automatic lubrication kit is available for those who desire the utmost in comfort. The crane base can be equipped with an automatic stabiliser that keeps it vertical regardless of the chassis tilt. Lighting power can be increased with treetop lights or gas-discharge lights that turn night to day. The HN125 is a true legend, which every harvester operator should have a chance to experience at least once in a lifetime! |
