With the Ponsse HH360 the hoses stay in a fixed position from crane tip to rotator, all the time. The rotator enables the harvester head to rotate freely without worry about unexpected downtime caused from twisted hoses.

“We’ve developed an innovative solution by listening to our customers’ needs. The rotating harvester head speeds up processing wood, makes working easier for the operator and reduces hose failures,” said Janne Loponen, Product Manager for harvester heads. “Compared to competing products, the rotator is strong, powerful and above all, energy efficient, and Ponsse has exclusive rights to the product in forest machine use.”

The powerful and exceptionally energy efficient PONSSE HH360 rotator is available for H6, H7, H8, H7 HD, H8 HD, H7 HD Euca, and H8 HD Euca harvester heads when installed as a loose head installation.
