Forestry Telescopic Arm – Woodcracker T4000

Engineering and Design: Extended Reach with Maximum Protection 
The Woodcracker T4000 represents “engineering for the woods,” allowing for a massive extension of the work area without altering the kinematics of the base excavator. A key differentiating feature is its internal hose guide system, which keeps hydraulic lines protected from external impacts, branches, and harsh weather conditions, drastically reducing the risk of breakdowns and maintenance costs. Like all equipment in the series, it features KTL protection and high-strength finishes for prolonged durability.   

Performance and Feed: Telescopic Precision
This equipment features a double telescope variant (2-boom system) that ensures a compact yet extremely stable construction. With a total working range reaching 6,350 mm, the T4000 allows for operations in hard-to-reach areas from a safe position for the base machine. Its optimized hydraulic system requires a flow rate of between 50 and 110 l/min, allowing for fluid movements and precise response during every extension or retraction maneuver.

Attachment Versatility: The Heart of the System
The tip of the arm is designed for maximum connectivity, offering up to 6 hydraulic connections for additional functions. This makes it perfectly compatible with a wide range of tools, such as the Woodcracker CS510 felling saw, the Woodgripper 1270, or various models of grapple saws and clamshell buckets. It is, essentially, a capacity multiplier for your existing fleet.

Fleet Compatibility

The Woodcracker T4000 integrates seamlessly into standard work configurations:

• Base Machine: Crawler and wheeled excavators.
• Carrier Weight: Recommended for vehicles between 14 and 22 tons.
• Hydraulic Requirements:
• Extension flow: 50 – 110 l/min.
• Auxiliary circuit flow: 30 – 40 l/min.
• Operating pressure: 250 bar.
• Hitch Systems: Compatible with all standard quick-change systems on the market.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)  

1. Is it necessary to modify my excavator to install the T4000? No. The Woodcracker T4000 is designed to attach to standard excavators without the need for structural conversion work on the carrier vehicle.

2. What tools can I mount on the end of the arm? It is highly versatile; you can mount anything from timber grapples (Woodgripper) and felling saws (CS510) to clamshell buckets or grapple saws.

3. How are the hydraulic hoses protected during high-altitude work? The design features internal hose guides, which prevent them from snagging on branches or structures and protect them from external influences.

4. How many additional hydraulic functions can I control? The arm allows for 4 and optionally up to 6 hydraulic connections at the tip to handle complex attachments requiring rotation or auxiliary functions.

5. What is the real lifting capacity at maximum extension? The T4000 supports a load of 1,550 kg when fully extended, maintaining high operational stability for the base machine.
