Engineering and design: strength, protection and profitability
The LKT 150 has been developed to the most demanding standards of “engineering designed for the wilderness,” combining an ultra-resistant structure with surprising agility for its weight class. Its highly durable chassis features a frame oscillation and pivoting system with axial bearings and hydraulic locking, offering a 43° turning angle and excellent maneuverability on steep terrain or narrow tracks. It integrates a safety cab certified to ROPS, FOPS, and OPS standards, guaranteeing maximum operator protection and safety. Its operational efficiency is reflected in top-of-the-line hydraulic components, optimized energy consumption, and long service intervals.
Power and performance: transmission, traction and pulling power
Equipped with a 4-cylinder, 4.5-liter CUMMINS B4.5 EU Stage V diesel engine, it delivers an impressive 200 hp (149 kW) at 2,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 780 Nm at 1,500 rpm. Its Danfoss hydrostatic transmission features an axially regulating pump, automatic shifting, and a two-speed hydraulic transfer case with two hydraulic motors for efficient switching between working and travel modes. It is equipped with rigid planetary axles with electro-hydraulically actuated front and rear differential locks, ensuring continuous traction on deep mud or steep inclines.
Winch capacity and timber handling
In its standard configuration, it incorporates a 2×80 kN double-drum winch with electro-hydraulic drive and free cable unwinding. To meet extreme pulling requirements, it can be optionally equipped with 2×100 kN, 2×120 kN, 2×135 kN, and up to 2×165 kN versions. It features a 2,239 mm wide front blade and a hydraulically tilting rear shield operated by a swing arm system with guide rollers. It also accommodates the mounting of long-reach (up to 9.6 m) Epsilon Palfinger heavy-duty cranes and rear clamshell grab systems.
Fleet compatibility and integration
- Compatible crane configuration: Wide range of Epsilon Palfinger models, including the M90 (reaches of 8.0 m and 9.6 m), S110 (8.0 m and 9.6 m), S120 (8.0 m and 9.6 m) and the powerful X130 R80 and X130 R96 (9.6 m), compatible with FG 43S, FG 57X and FG 31R clamps.
- Hydraulic system: Danfoss hydraulic work pump with Load Sensing, capable of supplying a massive flow of 235 l/min at 1,600 rpm with a working pressure of up to 350 bar.
- Customized adaptation: We study the integration of the equipment according to the specific demands of your logging contracts. Consult with our technical team to configure the machine to suit your existing fleet.
