WITH KONRAD ON THE STEEP

WITH KONRAD ON THE STEEP SLOPES Technically sophisticated and innovative solutions for timber harvesting in steep terrain are based on a large number of hydraulic functions. As first-fill supplier for Konrad Forsttechnik GmbH, MOTOREX makes a compelling case with high-performance Ecosynt HEES BE hydraulic oil, along with plenty of agility. Konrad Forsttechnik has earned a name for itself on the global market as a specialist in safe mechanized timber harvesting. The variety of products developed, designed, and produced in Preitenegg in the state of Carinthia, Austria, fall largely into two categories: harvester technology and yarder technology. The latter is used where the terrain is no longer passable using conventional equipment. Konrad Forsttechnik is the world market leader in yarder technology for forestry. With over 60 % of output going to exports, the company supplies customers as far away as Japan, Chile, and New Zealand. Mobile and street - legal: the Mounty (MT 30-2) mountain harvester.
