PONSSE HH360 – Full Rotation for Maximum Efficiency
The PONSSE HH360 harvester head rotator expands harvesting efficiency with a full 360-degree rotation. With this innovative system, hoses remain fixed from the crane tip to the rotator, allowing the head to rotate freely without the risk of twisting. This eliminates unexpected and costly downtime, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted operations.
By enabling unrestricted movement, the HH360 makes the operator’s work faster and more precise, while significantly improving the overall efficiency of the jobsite. Built to be sturdy, powerful, and exceptionally energy efficient, the HH360 is globally available as an option for PONSSE H6, H7, H8, H7 HD, H8 HD, H7 HD Euca, and H8 HD Euca harvester heads when installed as a loose head installation.
PONSSE Greasing System – Reliable Saw Chain Lubrication
The PONSSE Greasing System is an optional lubrication solution for harvester heads, designed to make saw chain maintenance easier and more efficient. This cartridge-based system feeds grease directly onto the saw chain according to the dosage settings configured in the Opti 5G information system. By ensuring consistent lubrication, the PONSSE Greasing System extends chain life, improves cutting performance, and reduces downtime, all while simplifying daily maintenance tasks.
Active Speed – Smarter Feeding for Maximum Productivity
With the innovative Active Speed function, the harvester head becomes more versatile and efficient than ever. Active Speed allows operators to change the feeding speed on the move, automatically adjusting performance to match tree species and trunk diameter. This intelligent system raises efficiency and productivity to an entirely new level by optimizing feeding power for every situation.
Active Speed is available as an option for the new PONSSE H7 and PONSSE H8 harvester heads, giving operators the advantage of smarter, faster, and more productive harvesting.
