Komatsu upgrades S92 harvester head

The Komatsu S92 is an established and popular harvester head with a reliable and service-friendly design. The 2024 model upgrade introduces several new functions and improvements that make the head even more reliable and productive, including a brand-new Constant Cut saw unit.

As the basis for the upgrade is requests from users of the harvester head and the response to the improvements has been positive from customers who have tested.

Among the new benefits, the improved measurement characteristics stand out. The new design enables the measuring wheel to follow the contours of the stem more closely, providing excellent measurement characteristics.

A major new feature is also the new intelligent saw motor controller, Constant Cut, which now becomes standard on the S92, and ensures that the head maintains a constant and high chain speed without the risk of overspeeding.

The Find End function now has a new design and together with new mechanical stops at the rear knife this extends the service life of the head. The new feed system reduces energy losses and enhances the head performance, and an improved hose routing simplifies servicing the feed system. For even better service friendliness, all lubrication points are now easily accessed with the head in an upright position.

In addition to the above and several other improvements, the head has also been equipped with a new head computer that enables future development opportunities.

The new COMBi-CB70E electric multidirectional forklift is the shortest 7,000kg counterbalance truck on the market. Multidirectional ability enables the handling of both long and bulky loads, maximising the safety, storage & efficiency of your logistics.

The CB70E is loaded with a host of ergonomic features that greatly enhance operator comfort, including excellent all-round visibility, a spacious gas-strut suspension cab, independent electric traction and our newly developed Auto Swivel Seat which intelligently swivels 15O in the direction of travel.

For the future, technology and innovation leader ZF is up to many more projects in the field of forestry, seeking into electric drive solutions already today.

Zero emissions without compromising on performance – the electric drive system eTRAC eCD70/90 from ZF

ZF eTRAC –electric driveline technology

The eTRAC electric drive system satisfies all the expectations for performance and productivity found in traditional drivelines and combines them with the extensive benefits and opportunities that electric systems have to offer. Thanks to its modular design this new range of electric central drives can easily be adapted for various vehicle applications.

A newly launched system for forestry applications consists of a 2-speed powershift transmission, electric motor, and inverter. It can be scaled up to peak torque 850 Nm and continuous power of 80 kW. Three power classes of the electric central drive system eCD50, eCD70 and eCD90 are available to cover different vehicle sizes in the targeted applications.

To complete the customers´ demand, not only in regards of traction drive, ZF also offers the so called ePTO, e.g., to run the working hydraulic.

Main features:

• One supplier for transmission, eMotor and inverter

• “Best in class solution“ for power density

• Zero emissions without compromising on performance

• Low noise level

• Efficient electrical components

• Robust and reliable mechanical driveline

• Compact installation space

• Modular platform for 650 V

• Up to 80 kW continuous power

• Liquid cooled PSM e-motor

• 2 speed powershift transmission

• Integrated park brake

• Optional axle disconnect (2WD/4WD)

To complete the range of electric drives for larger construction vehicles, ZF is offering the eTRAC eCD110210 series, consisting of an electro-mechanical powershift transmission and one e-motor for traction and ePTO each. An electric drive control unit for overall system performance and power management completes the system. With a 650 V operating voltage, the system can be scaled up to 120 kW continuous power; the ePTO ranges from 30 to 70 kW continuous power. Thanks to its modular design, the system can be integrated in various other vehicle applications as well and can be driven independently from the power source. The company´s solutions fit in both batteryelectric vehicles and fuel-cell battery electric vehicles, which will also play a big role in the future of construction machineries.
