The new KESLA RH-III harvester head range is developed and launched to market.
KESLA RH-III twinAX is an efficient solution for energy wood harvesting. Thanks to the modular structure of the RH-III harvester head series, KESLA 19/21RH-III is easy to equip for various applications. The KESLA twinAX cutting system is a cutting knife unit intended to replace the saw module of KESLA 19/21RH-III heads. With a cutting capacity of up to 30 cm (depending on the wood type), KESLA twinAX is perfect for heavier energy wood harvesting sites. A regular saw module can easily be replaced with the twinAX module and vice versa, reducing the risks related to head investments, even in rapidly changing work situations. The KESLA twinAX cutting system ensures stump treatment in line with the Forest Act, including on energy wood sites. Equipped with the revamped KESLA MTH-grip multi-stem processing grapple, KESLA proTILT tilt control and multi-stem feed rollers, the harvester head is an incredibly efficient tool for multi-stem processing.
Kesla has made many upgrades to the KESLA RH-III harvester head range that improve the products’ operating characteristics and durability. The extensive updates to Kesla’s manufacturing technology have enabled, for example, the development of robotic welding and automation as well as the introduction of new structural solutions, which is reflected in the higher durability of the upgraded frame structures and the improved power-to-weight ratio of the heads.
An important addition to Kesla’s accessory range is the SuperCUT 150 saw module, which is now available for the sturdier KESLA RH-III models from the 26H-III onwards.
For a long time, Kesla has been heavily investing in the development of harvesters for excavators, and cooperating with multiple excavator manufacturers. Kesla’s product selection includes productised installation kits and accessories that make installing a head to most excavator models’ hydraulics easy, providing an efficient and effective solution that is also approved by base machine manufacturers.
