The design features sophisticated ergonomic geometry in the midsection and fully protected components, including cylinders with end-position damping. To withstand humid environments and extreme weather, the entire structure undergoes a KTL (cathodic dip-priming) treatment followed by a premium powder coating, providing top-tier corrosion protection.<\/span><br \/><b><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">Performance:<\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size: 12px\"> Total Control with Multigrip. <\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">Setting it apart from other heads, the C550 comes standard with the Multigrip controller\u2014an intelligent hydraulic block that manages the required power independently of the base machine&#8217;s flow. This system ensures a safe work cycle: during the cut, the powerful, synchronously closing gripper holds the trunk firmly before the blade engages, allowing for vertical tree removal to protect the surrounding area. Additionally, the Autospeed option accelerates the cutting cycle in smaller timber, significantly increasing operational efficiency.<\/span><br \/><b><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">Cutting Quality and Versatility: <\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">Patented Technology. <\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">The cutting unit features a high-strength blade with a patented fastening system that facilitates rapid maintenance and simple resharpening. An automatic cleaning comb ensures the blade always operates free of obstructions. Thanks to its &#8220;Plug &amp; Play&#8221; design, the C550 requires only 5 hydraulic connections to manage all functions, including advanced options like the Power-Tiltator, which delivers double the tilt torque for handling heavy sections.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">Fleet Compatibility <\/span><br \/><\/b><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">This head is engineered to maximize the performance of heavy-duty carrier machinery.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-sheets-root=\"1\" style=\"font-size: 12px;font-family: Poppins, Arial\">Base Machine: Large crawler excavators and heavy-duty forestry harvesters.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">Carrier Weight: Optimized for vehicles between 24 and 30 tons.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\" style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family: Poppins, Arial\"><br \/><b><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">Hydraulic Requirements:<\/span><\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Poppins, Arial;font-size: 10pt\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Poppins, Arial;font-size: 12px\">Main pump flow: 100 \u2013 190 l\/min.<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Poppins, Arial;font-size: 10pt\"><br \/><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Poppins, Arial;font-size: 12px\">Auxiliary circuit flow: 50 \u2013 70 l\/min.<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Poppins, Arial;font-size: 10pt\"><br \/><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Poppins, Arial;font-size: 12px\">Operating pressure: 280 bar.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\" style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family: Poppins, Arial\"><b><br \/><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\" style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family: Poppins, Arial\"><b><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">Do you need a specific configuration? <\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">Contact us for a custom consultation to optimize your production.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/span><br \/><b><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">1. What is the standard Multigrip system?<\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size: 12px\"> It is a hydraulic controller that synchronizes the grip and the cut. It ensures the tree is always securely held before the blade starts cutting and allows the blade to open first when depositing, ensuring risk-free handling.<\/span><br \/><b><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">2. What is the benefit of the collector (accumulator) on the C550? <\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">The collector allows the operator to harvest and group several smaller stems in a single cycle, drastically optimizing time in short-rotation plantations or large-scale thinning operations.<\/span><br \/><b><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">3. What advantage does the Power-Tiltator offer for this model? <\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">When processing trees up to 600 mm, the weight is substantial. The Power-Tiltator provides double the torque at the same speed, allowing for the rotation and positioning of heavy logs with total control and less strain on the base machine.<\/span><br \/><b><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">4. Is blade maintenance difficult? <\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">Not at all. The high-strength blade is designed for easy resharpening. Its patented fastening system allows for simple replacement, minimizing technical downtime.<\/span><br \/><b><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">5. Can it be installed on any excavator brand?<\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size: 12px\"> Yes, it is compatible with all standard excavators on the market. Thanks to its optimized design, it only requires 5 hydraulic connections to operate all functions, including optional accessories.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\" style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family: Poppins, Arial\">The Woodcracker C550 is the ultimate expression of power and safety for harvesting large-diameter timber and biomass on demanding terrain. <br \/>Engineered for 24 to 30-ton excavators, it delivers an exceptional cutting capacity of up to 600 mm, ensuring a secure grip and precise handling even in the harshest forestry conditions.
