ECO Log has introduced a new crane tip control system onto several of its forwarder models. 

Eco Log Tip Control will be available on the 574F, 584F and 594F and has been developed in collaboration with Epsilon. 

Having focused on optimising the function and placement of the sensors, the manufacturer says the system works in the best possible way for the operator and ensures a smoother, more precise crane movement.

Emil Forsblom, head of product development at Eco Log, said: "It feels great to be able to offer our customers crane tip control on our forwarder models. 

"That way we can facilitate and make their working day easier and more comfortable and at the same time give them the conditions for a more efficient and productive work." 

Operators can choose if the crane tip control should be activated or if they'd rather control it manually.

Emil added: "This is a big advantage that allows the operator to be flexible and to adapt the work to different situations and conditions. 

"Also, you can avoid unnecessary downtime, for example, if the crane tip control system is in need of servicing.
