Forestry management will also focus on interconnected machine solutions to make better use of cost-effective planning. The objective is to further improve the environmental impact of new technologies by increasing optimisation in the forest-based industry.

The Interforst trade fair in Munich for Cranab will be an excellent opportunity to present the world premiere of the new model in the truck crane range: the TZ18.  This model is designed for use both in forestry and in the handling of recyclable materials. Cranab’s commitment in this direction has grown considerably thanks to its collaboration with the Italian company Fassi Gru. This year, the Swedish company (based in Vindeln) has already presented a new model from this series at the IFAT trade fair (dedicated to renewable technologies) in Munich: the TZ12.2 R crane with a reach of 7,7 metres. At Interforst, Cranab’s technological and industrial efforts continue with presenting a new and bigger crane that will take the company into a new phase in the development towards a complete program.

These are the main features of the new model:

• Two extensions crane with max reach of 10.2 m.
• A base stabiliser with a 5.2 m spread.

The aim is to offer the market, step by step, a complete system for typical operations in the handling of recycled and forestry matter.
