KTS forestry timber trailers come with load capacities of 5.5, 7.0, 8.5, 10.0, 10.6 and 13 tonnes, plus a 13 tonne XL with a longer bed. Standard cranes range from 5.3 m reach on the 8.5 tonne model to 7.5 m on the 13 tonne, and the range offers cranes reaching up to 8.5 m.
A KTS timber trailer with crane lets you load and transport timber with the trailer's own crane, with trailers from 5.5 to 13 tonnes for tractors from 30 hp. A K.T.S Klaw or rotating Grapple instead uses your existing loader, telehandler or forklift for stacking logs, loading trailers and feeding firewood processors.
