Forestry segment customers can choose from an offer of vehicles made by the TATRA company in cooperation with specialists in this line of business – the Serviscentrum Vysočina s.r.o. company – as well as other partners of the Kopřivnice-based truck company.
At the SILVA REGINA exhibit, which ends on April 4, two 6x6 TATRA PHOENIX log trucks are displayed. The first one is a three-axle AWD TATRA PHOENIX truck with a wheelbase of 3,900 mm, with a LOGLIFT hydraulic loading unit installed behind the cab, and a telescopic log trailer. The second exhibit is the awarded 6x6 TATRA PHOENIX truck with a wheelbase of 4,500 mm, which is equipped with an EPSILON hydraulic loading unit installed on the vehicle’s rear and with a log trailer. Both the bodies and trailers were made by the UMIKOV company.
A total curb weight (including the weight of the driver) of the three-axle chassis is about 10,250 kg (depending on selected configuration and equipment). Its frame height is the lowest one in the log truck category. The vehicle has a great engine brake and a reinforced front axle, which can carry up to 9 tons. A combination of the above and a unique air suspension on all axles makes a TATRA PHOENIX “an agile predator in its territory”.
