Low-wide

Overview

Tigercat's low-wide bunk system for log forwarders is unique to the industry. The bunks are angled to reduce overall gate height and to eliminate the need for a vertical sliding gate.

Key Benefits

Clear sightline to the top of the load for better log placement and decreased cycle times

Reduces the chance of crane contact with the gate or bunk stakes

Extendable angled bunks to reduce overall gate height

Reduced machine travel and improved productivity

Easier crane operation for decreased load and unload times

Expanded crane working envelope

Clear sightline to the top of the load for better log placement and decreased cycle times

Reduced machine travel and improved productivity

Reduces the chance of crane contact with the gate or bunk stakes

Easier crane operation for decreased load and unload times

Extendable angled bunks to reduce overall gate height

Expanded crane working envelope

Sloping bunk system

The unique sloping bunk system allows the machine to have a lower gate height and lower centre of gravity for improved stability and visibility.

Quicker cycles

Low-wide allow for easier crane operation and decreased loading and unloading cycle times.

In combination with the Tigercat series of hooked cranes, the low-wide bunk system reduces the chance of crane contact with the gate or stakes.

The working envelope of the crane is expanded, resulting in reduced machine travel and improved productivity.
