will change this industry,” Roland Sundén, President of Hiab, said. “Forests will be the same as today but the way logs are delivered from the forest to the sawmills and to other industries will definitely change as automated solutions and the use of big data develops rapidly.” “The first LogLift/Jonsered forestry cranes were introduced more than 55 years ago. Since then we have developed and set the market standards, first by introducing the top seat, later the cabins and now moving operations to the truck cabin. We deliver the best solutions for our customers’ needs, with a special focus on safety, ergonomics, efficiency and sustainability of their businesses.” The Doppstadt DH812 smooth and easy operation, as well as precise control over crane movements. The 125Z incorporates SmartBase for smooth handling, stability and low weight, as well as a Hose Protection Link to guard against blows and sticking. Visitors also experienced a LogLift forestry crane equipped with HiVision, which enables safe and comfortable crane operation inside the truck cabin. There are four cameras on top of the forestry crane that provide the operator with a realistic 270 ° view. This enables the crane operator to see the working area and operate the crane using Virtual Reality (VR) goggles. The first HiVision deliveries took place at the beginning of this year in Sweden and Germany and will continue in Finland and Japan, for example, with customers ranging from operators to educational institutions. The Doppstadt DH11 K in operation in Japan business activities of the group. “The concentrated engagement in this branch of industry has deepened our knowledge about its requirements and desired solutions,” he said. “The result is a complete product range for biomass production in the forest including large chippers and flexibly customizable screens.” The chipping specialists precisely reduce branches, log and root timber and wooden residues to wood chips, with the screens separating the input material in up to six fractions. The machines are available for stationary or mobile use; on wheels or on tracks. Together with its Swedish sales partner, OP-System, Doppstadt showcased solution-oriented procedures for biomass processing in the timber and forestry industry at Elmia. The precision chippers DH 910 SA-B Super Panther, DH 812 LD and DH 811, and a mobile combination of the DW 3060 shredder and compatible Selector on tracks were shown in operation. This combination performs two recycling procedures in one single process: it shreds waste wood, green waste and mono-material wood waste batches and then screens it to the required sizes. The mobile Doppstadt chippers take in up to 90 cm-thick lumbers and efficiently reduce log timber, tree tops, shrubs and slabs to wood chips between G 30 and G100 sizes.
