Lifting capacity and reliability

KESLA harvester cranes are known for their excellent working geometry and ample net lifting capacity throughout the entire path of travel working range. These properties increase the productivity of harvesting in all conditions. The economy of the operations is ensured by the durability and reliability of the cranes, which ensure a high utilisation rate. The excellent durability of KESLA cranes is based not only on the high quality of the manufacture and components, but also on carefully considered design and technical solutions.
From the wide range of KESLA harvester heads, you are sure to find a perfect pair for each KESLA harvester crane to form an optimal combination for all kinds of harvesting needs from first thinning to final felling.

The motorised slewing system of the 13H and 16H series, featuring a robust ring bearing, is highly durable and provides plenty of slewing torque. If an exceptionally high level of slewing torque is required, the 16H series cranes can also be equipped with two slewing motors. The 13H and 16H series cranes are also available without a slewing motor and ring bearing, so the selection provides a suitable alternative for most base machines with motor slew .
The design of the booms as well as the shafts and joint bearings have been dimensioned for the most demanding working conditions.
The well-designed hydraulic pipes and hoses, along with the wide slide pads, minimize interruptions and maintenance needs. The well-dimensioned hydraulic lines ensure good oil flow and maximize energy-efficiency.

6H

The smallest KESLA harvester cranes are designed for light thinning harvesters and heavy duty farm tractors, making them an ideal match for the KESLA 16RH, 18RH II, and 20SH II harvester heads. Their excellent boom geometry and strong lifting capacity across the entire working range ensure efficient operation, even in dense thinning stands. Structural solutions inherited from larger, heavy duty harvester cranes provide a long service life and reliable, trouble free performance.

The 6H crane series includes two boom options - a 7.1 m non telescopic and an 8.5 m telescopic version - as well as two crane base alternatives: the H model with a vertical mounting flange and the HF model with a horizontal mounting flange.

13H

The KESLA 13H series – designed for medium-sized harvesters and known for its excellent geometry and reliability. Reliability and excellent performance are features shared by this model series: a compact but robust slewing system with motor slew provides plenty of slewing torque and a wide slewing angle, along with ensuring a low point of gravity and excellent view from the cabin. The linear geometry makes logging efficient and precise throughout the entire working radius.
The outreach options of the booms are 9.5–10.5 m in the 13H series. The 13H series models are available also without a slewing system.

16H

The KESLA 16H series is designed for medium-sized harvesters and known for its excellent geometry and reliability. The series brings efficiency to harvesting. Reliability and excellent performance are features shared by the model: a compact but robust slewing system with motor slew provides plenty of slewing torque and a wide slewing angle, along with ensuring a low point of gravity and excellent view from the cabin. The linear geometry makes logging efficient and precise throughout the entire working radius.

The outreach options of the booms are 8–11 m in the 16H series. The 16H series models are available also without a slew system. The 16H is also available with a double motor slew system.

500

The KESLA 500-series cranes are suitable for small forwarders, robust forest trailers and the rear axle casing of heavy farm tractors. The range includes single and double extension models. In addition to the standard pillar, a short (M) and high (H) pillars are available. The features can be supplemented with solutions from the wide range of KESLA proG grapples. There are a number of control valve options from a mechanical double lever valve to version equipped with hydraulic or electric pilot control.

600 / 600T

The KESLA 600 is an ideal choice for medium-sized forwarders, feeding chippers as well as various stationary applications. The range includes single and double extension models. The KESLA 600 is also available with a 500 mm shorter lifting boom (S-version), which ensures optimal geometry in close-up work, when feeding chippers, for example. The features can be supplemented with solutions from the wide range of KESLA proG grapples. The cranes can be equipped with a control valve featuring electric pilot control.

700 / 700T

The KESLA 700 is an ideal choice for medium-sized freight forwarders, feeding shredders as well as various stationary applications. The range includes single and double extension models. Fonctionnalities can be supplemented with solutions from the wide range of KESLA grapples proG. Cranes can be fitted with a control valve with control electric pilot. The 700 and 700T models can also be fitted with a high seat equipment including mechanical control valves.

700R

The KESLA range features 700R-series cranes for small and medium-sized skidders. Single and double extension models are available for the crane.

800T

The KESLA 800T represents Kesla’s latest forwarder crane design. The 800T is at its best in the handling of timber, biomass, scrap, waste and other material that requires efficiency and durability. In addition to being an excellent choice to forwarders, the crane is perfect for chipper feed applications and fixed installations.
The internal hosing of the telescopic boom is well protected and easy to maintain. The KesLINK solution, which also protects the hoses between the boom tip and rotator, is available as an option. The KESLA 800T crane is also available with valves featuring electric pilot control. In addition, the crane can be equipped with a KESLA proCAB cabin.
