Tigercat’s new 1055C, 1075C and 1085C forwarders are powered by the powerful and reliable Tigercat FPT N67 engine. Tier 2 and Tier 4f powered forwarders are landing on job sites throughout North America as well as Europe, Chile, Australia and New Zealand.

Tigercat cranes

Tigercat produces two forwarder cranes: the 165 kN F165T85 (standard on the 1075C) and the larger 195 kN capacity F195T85 (standard on the 1085C and optional on the 1075C). The F195T85 crane is capable of lifting 20%-30% heavier loads at the same reach compared with any other forwarder crane on the market. In addition, the crane boasts 22-66% more slew torque than any competing crane.

Both cranes are designed with a hooked profile to increase the working envelope for reduced machine travel and improved productivity. The FG43 and FG53 series Tigercat grapples compliment the cranes with larger load areas at 0,43 m² (4.6 ft²) and 0,53 m² (5.7 ft²) respectively.

Low-wide bunk system

Tigercat’s unique low-wide™ bunks are angled to reduce overall gate height and eliminate the need for a vertically sliding gate. In combination with the hooked crane, the low-wide bunk system significantly reduces the chance of contact with the gate or bunk stakes. Operator visibility and ergonomics are enhanced. The operator enjoys an improved sightline to the top of the load, increasing log placement accuracy and decreasing cycle times. In addition, the grapple stays within the operator’s view through the entire loading and unloading cycle for reduced operator strain. The low-wide system is available for both the 1075C and 1085C forwarders.

The 1085C features Tigercat’s WideRange® transmission. WideRange provides extremely high tractive effort for steep slope applications, while permitting quicker working travel speeds. The 1085C is specially designed carry large loads over extreme terrain and slopes.
