Beaver
An agile six-wheeler
PONSSE BEAVER feels at home in dense thinning sites, and is also a reliable hervester at all sites where a durable machine is needed. The agility of a six-wheeler, combined with a solid structure, makes PONSSE Beaver unstoppable, even in difficult thinning sites. Agility requires a small turning radius and a short chassis. That’s why the Beaver performs best on rocky logging sites and other sites where agility is required.
A solid and compact multi-purpose harvester
PONSSE Beaver makes working easy. It does not require any large transportation vehicle, and its operating costs are low. Its excellent visibility and high-reach crane make working easy, especially at thinning sites.

Special features
The most spacious and comfortable cabin and the most ergonomic controls in the market guarantee the best working comfort. The PONSSE Opti information system is an advanced and easy-to-use interface for machine and work management.
The PONSSE C44+ parallel crane, with parallel action, uses hydraulics instead of mechanical leverage. This is why the crane is fuel-efficient and powerful and requires less maintenance. Ponsse designs and manufactures all of its crane models for high-quality and well-functioning crane-base machine combinations.
The large 190 m3 work pump offers the best hydraulic capacity in the size class and the mighty Mercedes-Benz/MTU engine ensures that power never runs out, while fuel economy remains high.
The design of the Beaver frame focuses particularly on durability and ease of maintenance. Beaver’s chassis structure is based on a short wheelbase and a free-floating portal axle. Combined, these result in an agile all-terrain solution for demanding thinning conditions.
PONSSE harvester heads are known for their high efficiency/weight ratios and robust structure, which are second to none. A broad harvester head range is available for Beaver: choose the small and feisty H5 for thinning-based harvesting or the light and efficient H6 as an all-round grapple for larger logging sites.
With its six wheels, PONSSE Beaver is an agile harvester, and its stability is provided by its sturdy frame joint and swing axle, which can be locked steplessly during work using hydraulic cylinders.
