For all models, an additional hydraulic system is available for cleaning or machining heads, as well as intermittent saw heads.
FLEXIBILITY OF VALVE DESIGN
There are two hydraulic implement valves that allow you to configure the machine to work with different felling heads. The valve design maximizes the versatility of the machine. Valve 1) Felling heads requiring a high flow of 170-190 l / min (45-50 gallons per minute) to the grips and shoulders of the battery. As a rule, one cylinder works with each lever, two cylinders for each set. Valve 2) Felling heads requiring low flow rates of 110-120 l / min (29-32 gallons per minute) for controlling grippers and batteries. Usually one hydraulic cylinder and connecting lever activate a set of levers. Note. Consult the manufacturer of the working tool for flow requirements before selecting one of the above hydraulic devices.
CAT HYDRAULIC OIL
Provides maximum protection against mechanical and corrosive wear in all hydraulic systems. High zinc content reduces wear and prolongs pump life. Bio-Degradable Hydraulic Oil (HEES) is also available from your Cat dealer and provides an environmentally friendly alternative to mineral-based oils.
TOUGHGUARD ™ Hoses
Durable hoses along the boom and stick provide durability and flexibility. The ToughGuard cover consists of a thin layer of UHMW polyethylene, combined with a rubber coating that provides exceptional abrasion resistance.
OPERATOR COMFORT
The operator’s workplace is equipped with comfortably positioned joysticks and an ergonomic, pneumatic actuator seat that reduces operator fatigue and provides ease of operation. The HVAC system with updated air ducts provides better cooling and heating. A large side window with a side screen provides fresh air into the cabin, and a separately installed cabin and engine reduce noise and vibration for a quiet and comfortable environment for the operator. Ergonomically located pedals with adjacent steps provide operator comfort while the vehicle is moving.
TRANSPARENCY
The cab design optimizes the support structures and window layout to provide an excellent view of the operator from the front, side and rear. Large polycarbonate ceiling luminaire provides excellent upward visibility.
SECURITY
A standard 32 mm (1.25 inch) Margard front window provides maximum operator protection. All purpose built log cabins are designed with enhanced protection to meet the requirements of FOPS / ROPS / OPS / WCB, OR-OSHA. The roof window provides an alternative exit hatch.
MONITOR
The IQAN MD3 display allows the operator to constantly monitor the operating system of the machine. The monitor has been slightly reduced to improve operator viewing in the front right corner of the cab. The IQAN control system allows the operator to adjust control parameters, maximizing performance and productivity.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The Series 2 tracked feller bunchers are equipped with a 24-volt electrical system with a 24-12 V converter in the cab, two 12-volt cabins in one cab, and one 24-volt power point. Power is provided by two 12-volt unattended batteries and a 95 amp generator. An optional cold weather launcher may be selected to provide two additional batteries, an HD starter and HD cables.
OTHER ADVANTAGES:
A large storage area behind the seat provides plenty of room for the lunch box, hard hat and work tools.
INCLINED MECHANISM
Thanks to the industry’s most reliable tilt mechanism, the 552 Series 2 Tenter is equipped with a patented 3-cylinder tilt mechanism with simultaneous tilt forward and side by side. Trunnion cylinders are mounted on 51 mm (2 inches) steel plates and transfer vertical loads down to the caterpillar-body frame border, placing the load on the caterpillar and the ground.
CYLINDERS
The three-cylinder tilt mechanism shows simultaneously a 21 degree tilt forward and an 11 degree tilt from side to side.
GROUND CLEARANCE
FTS cars have excellent ground clearance and open body design. This provides increased mobility by eliminating interference from large stumps, stones, or other obstacles encountered in difficult working conditions.
