Stability, flexibility and good tracking together with low ground pressure and good bearing capacity are typical characteristics for Rottne F10D
Crane 20% stronger for
Rottne F10 and Rottne F11
The new RK 105-crane is a genuine
innovation on the crane side for the
Rottne F10 and F11 forwarders.

the factory in Rottne has resulted
in lifting torque of 105 kNm for
the RK 105. This is compared to
approximately 87 kNm on the
earlier model. The lifting angle has
also been increased by about 5°.
“We worked hard to reduce
the stresses in the welds and have
improved the lifting force with a full
20%,” Filip Wirbladh, Designer at
Rottne Industri, said.
“We can now offer both these
forwarders with a stronger and
improved crane, which not only
increases the lifting capacity but
also the performance of the entire
machine.”
F20D – now with 27 t tractive
force
The Rottne F20D is a robust
forwarder with a very large load
capacity of a full 20 t, making
it perfect for long forwarding
distances.
The F20D features an automatic
transmission, which, along with
the load capacity, means that it can
manoeuvre even better than before
in all types of terrain and can
maintain a high driving speed even
with maximum load.
Wide Load XL, a variable load
area with hydraulic stakes and
hydraulically width adjustable
headboard, gives the F20D a load
area of 8.4 m 2 .
