Forestry hoist carriage UNIVERSAL

for cable transport

THE CARRIAGE FOR 2- AND 3-CABLE OPERATION The latest in-house development by the Wyssen company is the universal carriage, which can be utilised for 2 or 3-cable systems operating uphill, downhill or horizontally. The extremely robust and compact carriage is made out of high-strength steel, as are all Wyssen carriages. The large haul-back line drum enables a spool-out length of 136m for a haul-back line diameter of 11 mm. The carriage also has two cable breakage safety devices (mainline cable/haul-back cable) which immediately clamp and stops the carriage in case of a cable breakage. The cable safety brakes can also be deactivated depending on the type of operation. The carriage is available with the proven slack-pulling device pendulum or also without the pendulum. The carriage, as with all new Wyssen carriages, is controlled using the normal portable radio. All necessary parameters can be appropriately adapted as required using the in-house developed control system (identical with the slackpuller control system). For clamping, the carriage is stopped at or slowly driven to the desired position and the carriage can then be clamped to the skyline by pressing a button on the radio.
