Comfort that lasts the whole workday

A forwarder operator spends many hours a day in the cab, making a pleasant and comfortable work environment extremely important. Komatsu Comfort Ride efficiently dampens jolts and vibrations, ensuring an ergonomic work environment.  Komatsu Comfort Ride includes comfort-enhancing features like adjustable sideways firmness and automatic side levelling at standstill and at low speed. The elevated unloading mode also functions at low speed, making it smoother to reposition the forwarder at the landing—welcome features for any forwarder operator.

Smart Crane - like an extension of your own arm

Since such a large share of a forwarder operator's working day involves crane operation, increased efficiency offers great potential. Smart Crane provides the operator with advantages such as simpler crane operation, less physical strain and higher productivity. Advantages that benefit both profitability and the operator's wellbeing. Everything to make it as easy as possible for the operator to focus on what is truly important – moving timber to the roadside.

Flex Bunk - Complete flexibility

Flex Bunk is our flexible bunk system that can be customised to meet your specific needs. The standard version includes fixed stakes and a standard bunk width, but with several options available to allow you to easily tailor your load space. Hydraulically adjustable stakes provide faster crane operations and improved fuel economy. Using the widening kit, the width of the load space can be easily adjusted using the crane as required.

Automatic gears for efficient forwarding

Speed Shift is a clever gearbox solution that uses two hydrostatic motors, allowing the forwarder to change gear automatically as speed increases. This enables smooth acceleration across the full speed range without any input from the operator. It helps the engine run efficiently, saving fuel and creating a quieter, more comfortable working environment. Speed Shift also allows for higher travel speeds when ground conditions permit—such as on flat access roads in otherwise hilly areas. The longer the forwarding distance, the greater the benefit.
