Rubber-tired forestry harvester H8E

with crane

Rottne H8E is a small and versatile harvester with unique characteristics including exact tracking, swing arms on the wheels, variable transmission and automatic anti-spin. This makes it very easy-to-operate with minimum space requirements, providing the conditions for smooth and fluent thinning and an undamaged stand – as well as high productivity. Designed for stand-operating thinning Rottne H8E is an ideal harvester for stand-operating thinning and with various working route system options it can handle strip road distances without manual intermediate zone felling. Since Rottne H8E works inside the stand, it’s easier for the operator to decide which trees need to be thinned, as it is never more than 6–7 metres to the trees. This means more uniform thinning extraction, which gives both greater volume and added value and probably also a less storm sensitive stand. In other words, Rottne H8E gives good conditions for a timber rich forest PENDULUM ARMS The pendulum arm technology evens out the steepness of the terrain in all directions. The four wheel arms have a large swing movement, which means levelling can equal out both lengthways and sideways inclines, as well as give good ground clearance over rocky and uneven terrain. Space requirements are minimised and weight distribution improved so that processing can be performed at full reach even laterally with maximum stability.
