Overview

The 2160 loader forwarder is a powerful and versatile machine well suited to general mill yard duties like loading, sorting and stacking. The 2160 has high tractive effort, achieves quick travel speed and carries a heavy payload.

Move More Wood

The durable bunk and stake design is common with Tigercat forwarders. The strong rear chassis carries up to a 27 tonne payload.

Boom control is swift and precise.

The base is very stable and well matched to the powerful knuckleboom lifting capacity.

Stability for Loading

Tigercat's unique centre section design promotes higher stability and reduced reliance on the oscillation lock, allowing the machine to lift large loads without the use of stabilizers.

Operating Environment

The parallel action seat with ergonomic contoured cushions provides maximum comfort for long shifts. Integrated heating and ventilated cooling system augment the cab’s climate control system.

Fully adjustable with easy access controls for seat angle, seat pan extension, back recline, and lumbar support. The heavy duty air ride suspension system adjusts for operator weight and damper firmness control.

Tilt-up armrests adjust to further customize the operating position. It all leads to reduced operator fatigue, safer operation, and improved productivity.
