To go where you go, you need forestry equipment you can rely on. Cat delivers. That’s why Caterpillar continues to support forestry industry customers with machines and work tools that deliver on the promise of dependability.
Caterpillar is pleased to announce the availability of a newly designed 988K Pulpwood Log Handling Fork for The Australian and New Zealand markets.
The new Pulpwood Fork augments the current 988K Log Handling Fork portfolio with:
• Right sized carriage height for improved log retention
• Decreased minimum top clamp closing diameter to clamp down tightly on the load
• Improved carriage geometry for smoother truck unloading, enabling the loader to pick the log load easily off the truck
• Increased top clamp opening for better fork loading when reclaiming logs from inventory, and
• Integrated front view camera mount providing clear view of tines and truck trailer, as well as reliability and easy serviceability (camera kit available, not included).
Maintains the stability performance specifications of previous 988 fork
This fork is designed and intended for use in pulp, pellet and saw mills enabling single pass truck unloading and reclaiming logs from inventory and feeding the mill.
