- LOGLIFT: Features and functions
Safety features
LOGLIFT is setting high safety standards with SafetyPlus™, HiCab™, and HiVis™. Safety is built in with load indicators, high-boom warning systems, high seats, wide ladders, advanced ergonomics, panoramic windows, and much more. Every safety feature is designed to keep the operator safe, minimise damage to the external environment, and increase overall productivity.
Superior safety, comfort, and visibility
From top to bottom, every bit of the Hi-Cab™ cabin is designed and built to the highest standards. Enhanced in 125 dimensions, Hi-Cab™ is built to perform with benefits now and over the long haul. Benefit from Hi-Vis™ windows, high-performance air-conditioning, low-maintenance stainless steel construction, OPS-approved door, advanced ergonomics, and much more.
Increased safety and productivity
Innovative Hi-Vis™ panoramic windows in the Hi-Cab™ increase safety and productivity with the industry’s highest visibility factor for great all-round visibility from the cabin. With Hi-Vis™ factor five, you have five times more window than wall.
Putting safety first
Safety is the number-one priority in a LOGLIFT crane. It begins with the high seat, accessed by wide ladders and well-placed handrails. SafetyPlus™ gives you a load indicator, high-boom warning system, cylinder pressure indicator, and outrigger sensors. The optional slope indicator sets the crane to idle if the permitted tilt angle is exceeded.
Efficiency features
Cranes are packed with functions that assist and guide the driver through the most complex jobs or those that are highly repetitive. Industry leading technology HiVision is transforming working conditions and efficiency using virtual reality technology, goggles, and external cameras. At the heart of a LOGLIFT crane is the control system, which can be tailored to deliver exactly what is needed for your business. Wireless scales support quick and accurate loading, while the hydraulic pilot control is an option that delivers smooth and easy operation with a light touch - every time.
Quick accurate loading
A quick and easy to mount wireless scale accurately weighs all loads in any weather conditions allowing for maximum weight without crossing allowed limits, eliminating unnecessary trips and increasing your productivity. The logic display shows excellent data that can be used to work at optimum levels and lower the risk of system damage and failure.
Smooth and easy operation
Hydraulic pilot control (HPC) is an optional control system that gives the operator full control for smooth and easy operation. Both control options, conventional or joystick, provide a feather-touch response.
Performance features
Compromising on performance is not an option. LOGLIFT cranes are packed with performance enhancing features from SmartBase™ that spreads the weight force so handling is smooth and comfortable; to nDurance nano-technolgy paint for all-weather protection for year round reliability. A three-point bridge connection from the crane to the truck chassis means the crane has minimal impact on the truck performance.
Built for the road
How the crane behaves both on and off the road makes a big difference to getting the job done quickly. LOGLIFT forestry cranes connect to the truck chassis with a three-point bridge which minimises the impact on driving characteristics delivering a smooth and pleasant driving experience.
Easy access, comfortable and ergonomic
Comfort is a priority when you work outdoors, especially in extreme conditions. A premium top seat is comfortable, ergonomic and easy to access. The seat can be adjusted up, down, forwards and backwards to the ideal working position. A premium top seat can also be heated or equipped with a protective hood that folds out from behind the head position.
Guard against blowouts and sticking
Protecting hoses on any crane is important, but especially in the harsh environment of log handling. Hose Protection Link (HPL) gives extra protection against accidental impacts - from crane tip to rotator. The system includes the rotator and hanger to provide a complete and integrated solution.
Oil Bath
Keeping the slewing mechanism immersed in oil is a prerequisite for the heavy-duty work LOGLIFT cranes carry out. An oil bath provides smooth and precise slewing and reduces wear on the mechanism, keeping repair and service costs to a minimum.
Smooth handling, stability and low weight
SmartBase™ uses fitting bolts to distribute the crane weight evening through the three-point bridge to the sub-frame. This minimises interference with the chassis mobility so driving the truck remains smooth and comfortable.
All weather protection
Rain, dust, sand, and sunlight are unforgiving forces that can damage the crane’s paint. nDurance nano-technology paint protects the crane all year round using technologically advanced and environmentally sound pre-treatment and paint process. Based on nanotechnology and combined with state-of-the-art e-coating and powder paint, every square millimeter of the crane is covered with three protective layers for the highest corrosion resistance. Created with sustainability in mind, nDurance is 100% phosphate free with no heavy metals and virtually no waste.
