Key Benefits

Clear sightline to the top of the load for better log placement and decreased cycle times Reduces the chance of crane contact with the gate or bunk stakes Extendable angled bunks to reduce overall gate height Reduced machine travel and improved productivity Easier crane operation for decreased load and unload times Expanded crane working envelope Clear sightline to the top of the load for better log placement and decreased cycle times Reduced machine travel and improved productivity Reduces the chance of crane contact with the gate or bunk stakes Easier crane operation for decreased load and unload times Extendable angled bunks to reduce overall gate height Expanded crane working envelope

Sloping bunk system

The unique sloping bunk system allows the machine to have a lower gate height and lower centre of gravity for improved stability and visibility.

Quicker cycles

Low-wide allow for easier crane operation and decreased loading and unloading cycle times.

In combination with the Mackolines Machines & Hire series of hooked cranes, the low-wide bunk system reduces the chance of crane contact with the gate or stakes.

The working envelope of the crane is expanded, resulting in reduced machine travel and improved productivity.
