Description

Forestry has been experiencing a renaissance for years due to the extraction of renewable raw materials. The numerous BRUDER forestry vehicles are supplemented by the new MACK timber transport truck to transport the extracted raw materials over longer distances by road. Like its large prototype, the MACK truck is characterised by a loading crane mounted behind the cab. To move the logs, the loading crane is equipped with a timber grab, the timber grab can be locked in the open position. When a log is to be gripped, the timber grapple is lowered onto it and the grapple closes automatically when it is touched in the middle. An example of the functionality of this truck. Other highlights are the crane outriggers that can be extended and lowered, as well as the chains on the stanchions of the loading platform that serve to secure the load. Of course, the stanchions can also be folded down for lateral loading of the wood. The truck can be unloaded at the rear by tilting the loading platform.
