To load the trees with root ball from nursery to transport trailer or to reload the trees from trailer to other trailer, MDE Machinebouw have developed a the MDE tree loading cranes. These loading cranes are mounted on the back side of agricultural tractors. The MDE cranes are distinguished by a large lifting capacity combined with a high speed of swirling and winches. By using special steel types, huge savings can be made on its own weight. The center of gravity is also very low.
FEATURES
The MDE crane 6800E3 and 6800E4 has a construction with two column legs. Between these column legs the crane folds itself, during transport, very compact so that it occupies the half of the place. This has the advantage:
- The shafts and bearings are loaded centrically and this results in less wear and tear;
- Secure and stable crane-movements;
- The crane has a short length construction behind the tractor.
MDE crane use a turntable with swing motor just as mobile cranes, with this construction it can be rotated very quickly. As a standard, there is mounted a high-speed winch with long steel cable. Due to this combination of fast crane and winch can be loaded many trees in a very short period on the trailer pulled by the tractor.
