Benefits & Features
Here are the key benefits and features of the Bear. Want to know more? Download the brochure or get in touch with us.
Active Crane – Smarter, Easier Control
PONSSE Active Crane introduces a new way to control the loader or harvester head, making operations smoother and more efficient. Instead of managing multiple functions individually, the operator simply directs the grapple or harvester head movement. With two intuitive levers, one sets the height from the ground and the other the direction of movement, while the system automatically manages the boom and extension. This reduces operator workload, improves precision, and allows full focus on productive loader work. Available as an option, Active Crane turns complex handling into simple, efficient performance.
Operator Comfort and Smart Control
The PONSSE cab is the most spacious and comfortable in its class, designed with ergonomic controls that reduce fatigue and ensure maximum productivity. Combined with the advanced PONSSE Opti information system, operators benefit from an intuitive and easy-to-use interface for machine and work management. This seamless combination of comfort and smart technology guarantees efficiency and a superior working experience in every shift.
High-Precision Positioning for Maximum Efficiency
PONSSE High-Precision Positioning gives operators exact information on the location of both the machine and the harvester head. By ensuring precise awareness in real time, it keeps logging operations efficient even in unpredictable and constantly changing forest conditions. Available for all PONSSE harvesters equipped with Active Crane, this feature can also be retrofitted, making it a flexible solution to improve productivity and reliability in demanding environments.
