Engineering and design: strength, protection and profitability
The LKT 130 is built to withstand the harshest industrial conditions in the wilderness, combining maximum structural durability with excellent handling. Its articulated chassis with axial bearings and hydraulic locking mechanism, along with its 43° turning angle, offers the perfect blend of structural strength and maneuverability. The safety cab is certified to ROPS, FOPS, and OPS standards, ensuring an ergonomic, comfortable, and impact-protected environment. With its “engineered for the wilderness” philosophy, it stands out for its high operational profitability thanks to durable components and optimized maintenance.
Power and performance: transmission, traction and pulling power
Equipped with a powerful 4.5-liter, 4-cylinder CUMMINS B4.5 EU Stage V diesel engine, it generates 173 hp (129 kW) at 2,500 rpm and an impressive maximum torque of 780 Nm at 1,500 rpm. Its hydrodynamic powershift transmission with on-the-go shifting offers 12 forward and 8 reverse gears with a hydrodynamic torque converter lock-up, maximizing engine performance in both working and travel speeds. It features rigid planetary axles with electro-hydraulic front and rear differential locks, ensuring maximum traction on slippery or muddy terrain.
Winch capacity and timber handling
In its standard version, it is equipped with a powerful 2×80 kN electro-hydraulically driven double-drum winch. For the most demanding forestry operations, it offers the widest range of strength options on the market, with versions of 2×100 kN, 2×120 kN, 2×135 kN, and up to 2×165 kN. It features a 2,239 mm wide front blade and a hydraulically tilting rear shield with a high pedestal and guide rollers. Furthermore, it is compatible with the mounting of heavy-duty cranes from the Palfinger Epsilon series (up to the X130) and a rear clamshell grab.
Fleet compatibility and integration
Compatible crane configuration: Wide selection including Epsilon Palfinger M90 R80, S110 R80, S120 R80 and the powerful X130 R80 (all with a reach of 8.0 m), compatible with Palfinger FG 37, FG 43S and FG 31R clamps.
Hydraulic system: Danfoss hydraulic work pump with load sensing, providing a flow rate of 120 l/min at 1,600 rpm and a maximum pressure of 300 bar.
