FinnMetko '08–12.2006

8/25/06

Ponsse is to introduce to the market products in an entirely new size category in order to meet more wide-ranging customer needs. The new harvester, forwarder, harvester head and two new harvester cranes represent significant additions to the Ponsse product offering, which, until now, has been lacking in heavy products. In addition to our traditional markets, these new products in the largest size category of the product range strengthen our position in the Russian and Latin American markets. All the products introduced today are manufactured in Finland at Ponsse's forest machinery plant in Vieremä. All the new products will be on display at the FinnMetko trade show in Jämsänkoski from 31 August to 2 September 2006.

The new PONSSE Elephant forwarder boosts forwarding productivity. The torque and pulling power of this 18-ton capacity forwarder are designed for highly demanding customer requirements and operating conditions, which is particularly important on steep slopes, in deep snow and, for instance, on the eucalyptus plantations in Latin America, all conditions where particularly high efficiency and availability are required. Superb manoeuvrability, a large 6.25 m2 load space, high-efficiency drive transmission and a powerful crane ensure that the raw materials for the forest industry are transported quickly and safely to the roadside for haulage to the processing plant or sawmill, regardless of the location of the felling site.
