Active Cabin – Comfort Without Compromise
Operating a forwarder inevitably comes with vibrations, tremors, and shocks – but the PONSSE Active Cabin is designed to eliminate these stresses for the operator. Developed in response to customer feedback worldwide, this innovative solution significantly reduces cabin movement, making long shifts more comfortable and less fatiguing. By improving ergonomics and reducing strain, Active Cabin helps operators focus fully on their work with maximum efficiency.
Active Cabin is currently available as an option for the PONSSE Wisent, Elk, Buffalo, Buffalo King, Elephant, Elephant King, and Mammoth forwarders, providing premium comfort across the most popular models in the Ponsse range.
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.
Active Seat – Always the Perfect View
The PONSSE Active Seat automatically follows the loader’s tip during work, ensuring that the operator always has a direct and unobstructed view of the task at hand. This reduces unnecessary head movement and minimizes the impact of jolts, greatly improving operator wellbeing and comfort. With less strain and distraction, productivity and efficiency are increased throughout the working day.
Active Seat is available as an option for any PONSSE forwarder equipped with the PONSSE Active Crane system, providing a smarter, more ergonomic working environment.
