Engineering and design: strength, protection and profitability
The LKT 60 was developed under the concept of “engineering for the mountains,” combining a robust structure with superior maneuverability. Its articulated chassis, supported by axial bearings with hydraulic locking and a 43° turning angle, allows for easy operation in narrow passages and on steep slopes. The safety cab is certified according to the stringent ROPS, FOPS, and OPS standards, guaranteeing an ergonomic, safe, and climate-controlled working environment. Its high operational efficiency stems from low fuel consumption, high-quality hydraulic components, and optimized maintenance intervals.
Power and performance: transmission, traction and pulling power
Equipped with a 4-cylinder CUMMINS F3.8 EU Stage V diesel engine that delivers 154 hp at 2,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 620 Nm, the LKT 60 stands out for its pushing and pulling capabilities. The Danfoss hydrostatic transmission, combined with a two-speed transfer case, allows for a smooth transition between working speed in the field and travel speed. It features rigid planetary axles with electro-hydraulic front and rear differential locks, ensuring constant traction even on the muddiest or most slippery surfaces.
Winch capacity and timber handling
In its standard configuration, the machine incorporates a 2×60 kN electro-hydraulically driven twin-drum winch with free cable unwinding, offering the option of installing an upgraded 2×80 kN system. For stacking and handling, it features a 2,235 mm wide front blade and a hydraulically tilting rear shield with guide rollers. Additionally, it can be configured with high-performance forestry cranes (Tajfun Liv or Epsilon Palfinger) and a rear clamshell grab.
Fleet compatibility and integration
Compatible crane configuration: Option to mount Tajfun Liv 70 KS (58) forestry cranes with a reach of 5.8 m or Epsilon Palfinger M70 R68-N with a reach of 6.8 m and FG27 grapple.
Hydraulic system: Danfoss hydraulic work pump with load sensing, providing a flow rate of 144 l/min at 1,600 rpm and a working pressure of up to 300 bar.
Customized adaptation: We offer tailored integration based on the terrain and type of operation. Consult with our technical team to configure the machine to match your existing fleet.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1- What type of forestry work is the LKT 60 skidder recommended for?
The LKT 60 is ideal for thinning, intensive thinning, and stockpiling work on plots with limited access. Thanks to its compact dimensions and powerful hydrostatic drive, it performs with high efficiency in dense forests and on terrain with challenging topography.
2- What winch and crane options can be installed?
It comes standard with a 2×60 kN twin winch (2×80 kN optional). For cranes, it can be equipped with models such as the Tajfun Liv 70 KS (5.8 m reach) or the Epsilon Palfinger M70 R68-N (6.8 m reach), both electro-hydraulically controlled from the cab.
3- What level of comfort and safety does the cab offer the operator?
It features a ROPS, FOPS, and OPS certified safety cab. It is equipped with a heated, air-suspended seat with mechanical swivel, an HVAC climate control system, a 10-inch Danfoss DM1000 touchscreen control panel, and optimized visibility with optional KASIGLAS bulletproof glass.
4- Is it suitable for working on slopes and demanding terrain?
Yes, it integrates servo-articulated steering with a 43° turning angle, electro-hydraulic differential lock on both axles and a chassis with hydraulic oscillation/pivoting that ensures maximum grip on slippery slopes or uneven terrain.
5- Can it be operated by remote control?
Yes, optionally a remote control system can be included that allows you to manage key functions such as start-stop, machine movement, winch control, throttle and rear shield movement without being inside the cab.
