HSM 405H4 8WD with 20m crane and adjustable rims starts test phase in Outreach project!
Together with Hohenloher Spezial-Maschinenbau GmbH, KWF e. V., and RWTH Aachen Institutes MMI and SLA, field testing has successfully begun!
In the Altdorfer Wald forest district (ForstBW) near Ravensburg, a prototype of an innovative felling and forwarding vehicle with a 20 m range is currently undergoing testing.
The carrier vehicle: an HSM 405 H4 with adjustable rims.
At the start: a lightweight boom weighing over 4 t and a head converted to a pure felling unit (approx. 850 kg).
Total weight: around 40 t!
The system is monitored by strain gauges and an assistance system with real-time image processing so that the driver always has an overview.
The project is funded by the Federal Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Rural Affairs (BMLEH) through the FNR (FKZ KWF: 2220NR309D).
Duration: until December 31, 2025
