Pfanzelt Maschinenbau GmbH products

Pfanzelt quick-fit and fixed cable winches are the perfect implements for commercial timber forwarding. One reason is that the cable winch and the sprag bearing are mounted on a single frame, meaning that the tractor remains largely free of mechanical strain during winching. Pfanzelt quick-fit geared cable winches consist of an adaptable modular system and can therefore be easily adapted to the almost all commonly used tractor types. The underlying engineering is the same. The complete reliability and durability of the cable winches is guaranteed by the precision worm gear used in the winch assembly and the multi-disc sintered plate sets. Depending on the requirements of the operator, the cable winches are available with various tractive powers, stacking shield widths and cable capacities.

Both in agriculture/forestry and in environmental management, a cable winch is often required to recover vehicles or other items of equipment. The MySelf front-mounted recovery winch has been especially designed for this application. The simply mounted, hydraulically actuated cable winch for the quick-coupling 3-point link. This means the attachment can be mounted and removed in a matter of minutes for recovery jobs.

Greater safety in forestry work: The Pfanzelt Pro crush protection is an ergonomically designed grip and is fixed to the winch cable yet free to slide. It excludes any risk of the operator’s hand being crushed when the cable is drawn in.

The Pfanzelt S-line forwarding trailers are especially designed for use by private forest owners and semi-professional operations. The reliability of the technology has the same priority as for professional. However, the job description is different. The Pfanzelt S-line forwarding trailer is especially designed for service with private wood owners and semiprofessional operations. An important criterion when buying a forwarding trailer is the safety equipment. Pfanzelt forwarding trailers offer all safety features required by KWF, FPA and the trade association.

Requirements for modern forwarding trailers vary greatly depending on the respective area of application. Pfanzelt offers the most extensive range of forwarding trailers on the market. This offers every user the possibility to individually compose the Pfanzelt Profi forwarding trailers for his requirements. Fully loaded, the forwarding trailer climbs uphill. The trailer P15 has an operating load capacity of 13 t and is convincing with its great performance and a professional double telescope forestry crane of the 5 mt-range. The P15 can be optionally equipped with the powerful, hydraulic wheel drive powerDRIVE by Pfanzelt.

The logLINE forwarding trailers offer powerful professional machinery for forestry contractors and transporters. The three models offer uncompromising performance and optimum cost effectiveness both in standing timber and on forwarding trails. The forwarding trailers are equipped  with a heavy lift crane of the 6 or 7 mt class, optimising them for used with powerful tractors.

At the ZLF 2004 in Munich, Pfanzelt set standards with the presentation of the Pm Trac multipurpose tractor. The development trend - using a tractor chassis from the large-scale production to the completely own tractor chassis - makes the Pm Trac unique. Among other things, the new, continuously variable and power-split transmission. variaDRIVE - a proprietary development for Pfanzelt forestry machines - offers new possibilities and contributes its share to the motto of the new Pm Trac generation: Versatility is its strength - working and operating comfort its virtue. The Pm Trac multipurpose tractor of the new Generation 38 is optimised for combined use in agriculture, forestry, and landscaping thanks to its unique vehicle concept. 

Pfanzelt forestry cranes are designed for professional duty. Besides loading cranes for forwarding trailers, the Pfanzelt crane range also includes cranes for mounting on standard tractors and specialist forestry tractors for forwarding short and long timber. These usually have a larger lifting force and a higher pivoting moment to enable powerful pivoting of the crane – even uphill.

Pfanzelt is presenting a new tracked felling and forwarding mini-tractor for professionals at the KWF Exhibition 2016. The new machine is designed to flexibly perform a wide range of duties under a variety of working conditions. Anywhere where a cable winch is required to ensure safe working, e.g. for safety fellings, the new tracked felling tractor is the perfect machine for safer forestry operations. And not just there - also with problem tree fellings in cities and private gardens, the mini felling tractor increases safety and makes working conditions for ergonomic. Another application of the newly developed tracked felling tractor is preparatory work. The caterpillar tractor comes into its own on the most demanding terrain, on slopes and in standing timber on fragile soil structures. For optimum stability during winching and forwarding, the chassis can be hydraulically widened when it reaches the work location.

The hydraulic RZ230 logging grab is supplied with attachment block for front loaders and 3-point hitch. The maximises flexibility when forwarding or loading logs. Forwarding and loading work can be performed significantly faster with the logging grab. Furthermore, no effort is required by the operator and he does not have to get out of the cab. The curved tooth rail between the lower arms can securely raise and carry fixed lengths. The gripper is open/closed and the rotator turned by an electrical switch.
