  • Join me as i take the Volvo FH 540 Log Truck for a test drive.
    We will be making our way deep into the forest to collect a load, and demonstrate the Palfinger Crane in action which is fitted with the LH Weigh-Pro system. This system is very good at consistently giving you an accurate reading of the weight you have on each grab with the crane, so can maximise your payload.
    It was a very enjoyable day learning all about what these drivers do in the forestry transport business, check it out and let me know what you think.
    I also checked out Retro Cannonball Ireland which finished their two day road trip at Bunratty Castle.
    Thanks for watching, Stavros

    Good show lad! That was good fun, watching you load. Man with a laugh!
    Just shows how different timber is there to here in South Africa - most of our timber (for pulp and paper at any rate) is hauled by larger hauliers operating 24/7, and then without loading cranes on the trucks. On-board weighing is carried out on the truck chassis (so the billets are weighed as loaded). We also run trucks up to 22m long (conventional = rigid 6x4 with 4-axle drawbar) or 27m (Performance Based Standards), with legal load being around 33t, taking GCM up to between 53 and 57t, depending.

    Nice to see how things are done in other countries. Are those z-type cranes common in UK and Ireland? Most here in Finland stow the crane on top of load, leaving some room for the boom between the top logs. Also the trailers are quite different, we're allowed to gross 76 tons with usually four axles in truck and five in the trailer.

      @p1kkujuha 5 лет назад

      @@sampsani the maximum length is 34,5m but the weight is still 76 tons unless issued with a special permit. Those hct permits define quite strictly the allowed routes and the weight limit is issued case by case. There was an idea to raise the general weight limit but most bridges couldn't handle the extra weight.
