The Future of Forestry

Efficient, clean, and safe: this is how we imagine the future of forestry. No matter the power source, conventional or alternative fuels, hydrogen or electrification – with our strive for zero emissions, increased productivity, driving comfort and safety, we always concentrate on the driveline as a whole to make our vision come true.

The 1055C is a heavy duty 14-tonne forwarder built to handle both selective harvesting and final felling applications. In order to meet the needs of a global market, the 1055C has two bogie choices, two transmission choices, two sizes of levelload bunk systems, and three wagon frame lengths. The 1055C can be configured with a hooked F135T85 crane along with different grapple options. There is an optional straight M92FT100 crane used more in selective harvesting operations.

With a 20-tonne capacity, the 1075C is designed for long distance forwarding, tough terrain and scarifying applications. The standard F165T85 crane or optional F195T85 crane can handle all of your forwarding needs. With optional extreme duty Tigercatbuilt bogies, the 1075C excels in tough terrain and slopes and operates with minimal soil disturbance due to the extra-long 1,89 m (74 in) bogie walking beams. An optional two-speed transmission is perfect for long forwarding and moderate terrain.

The 1085C has a massive 25-tonne capacity. It excels in severe duty, steep slope applications. An optional steep slope package includes a 25° rearward tilting crane, a moving reinforced gate, 21 tonne (23 US ton) rear frame tethering lugs, and an optimized steep slope bunk design. A baffle system in the fuel tank ensures a constant supply on steep ground. The front bogie pinion and transmission are pressure lubricated. The Tigercat-built drivetrain provides torque that is unmatched in the industry. Tigercat’s WideRange transmission provides plenty of tractive effort to carry large loads on steep slopes and achieves a maximum working speed of 7 km/hr with a single gear ratio. The 1085C can attack and manoeuvre steep slopes under load with ease.

Hooked crane profile and lowwide® bunks

Tigercat cranes are capable of heavy loads and tough duty cycles. The slew base has a tapered roller bearing system designed to last the life of the machine, and no plain slew bearings or spherical rollers often used in other cranes. The crane’s hooked profile is designed to increase the working envelope of the crane for reduced machine travel and improved productivity. But where the crane really shines is when used in combination with Tigercat’s new low-wide expandable bunk systems.

In addition to a conventional flat loading expandable bunk system, Tigercat has optional low-wide bunks, which are inclined rearward to reduce overall gate height and eliminate the need for a vertically sliding gate. In combination with the hooked crane, the low-wide bunk system significantly reduces the chance of crane contact with the gate or bunk stakes. Operator visibility and productivity is enhanced. The operator enjoys a clear sightline to the top of the load, increasing log placement accuracy and decreasing cycle times. In addition, the grapple stays within the operator’s view through the entire loading and unloading cycle for reduced operator strain.

The low-wide system is available for both the 1075C and 1085C forwarders.

Operator’s Station

Crane control is very smooth and predictable with optimized flow sharing features so crane movements are precise over a variety of loads and conditions. Tigercat forwarders are equipped with a modern, spacious and comfortable cab. Extended windows provide excellent visibility to the load area and the ground. Operators comment about an open feeling even after a long shift in the cab. A rear window guard provides more protection and comes standard on all forwarder cabs. A quiet environment is important for operator comfort and productivity. The forwarder cab is insulated and isolationmounted for reduced noise and vibration levels. A variety of

operator convenience options is available. Each machine comes with a TPMS system for maximum tire life. LogOnTM comes standard on Tigercat forwarders and RemoteLog® telematics is optional, along with a data package paired to the warranty period purchased with the machine.

Tigercat F30 Productivity Monitoring System

Tigercat forwarders the levelload bunk system are available with an optional payload scale system. Payload data is conveniently displayed in the cab, including a load counter and a tare weight reset button. Payload scales can also be integrated with the optional F30 productivity system. Actual load weight can be added to data uploaded from the harvester to make it easier to track productivity, maximize production, and provide load information for the mill. The F30 productivity system can also generate StanForD classic or 2010 reports from the data.

Service

Tigercat forwarders have unsurpassed service access to all electrical, mechanical and hydraulic systems. Access to the engine, driveline, and pumps is through the tilt-out hood enclosure and tilting cab. Hydraulic valves and computer control modules are located in one compartment in the wagon frame. Easily accessed from ground level, hydraulic adjustments are simple to perform. Hydraulic cleanliness is easy to maintain with spin-on hydraulic filters and an electric oil-filling pump. Electrical reliability is excellent due to short wire runs between the control modules and valves located immediately beside them.
