Cat® trailer-mount knuckleboom loaders feature hydraulic systems that provides smooth performance and fuel efficiency. High swing torque, swing speed and lift capacity reduce cycle times and lower cost per ton. The heavy-duty booms and structures provide reliable operation and reduce service costs. Spacious work stations, excellent visibility, and ergonomic controls reduce operator fatigue, resulting in a more productive shift. [. . . ] This trailer features a roll-up gear for transport and a swing down delimbing foot for operation. The optional delimbing trailer features a hydraulically adjustable landing gear that is adjustable from in cab controls. This feature allows the operator to quickly position the loader in a proper operating position, providing more production capability. Knuckleboom Loader grapples are available in a wide variety of rotator types, jaw sizes and jaw configurations to suit a variety of material handling applications. The CTR 107 Slasher is optional for the DS package. A load-sensing saw feed system delivers smooth, fast cutting cycles. This slasher is available in multiple bunk styles and can be customized for specific log-lengths.
