Efficient for various uses

The robust Naarva EL28 energy wood head is suitable for felling, collecting, loading and cutting wood. The maximum cutting is Ø 28 cm. The multi-tree accumulating grippers increase the productivity significantly. Collecting bundles up-right speeds up the work and reduces crane movements.

Naarva EL28 is suitable for forwarders, small harvesters and 8-15 ton excavators. It is easy to install and quick to set up. The innovative and reliable guillotine cuts the tree in just one stroke. The splitting mark is neat and even. The blade is not easily damaged or dulled, so the stumps can be cut close to the ground. Short stumps are gentle with the forest machine’s tyres and no wood for sale is left in the stump.

Simple control system, radio control as an option

Naarva EL28 is controlled with the grapple’s own functions and with cable control with three buttons. When first installed, the control cable needs to be pulled from the Naarva wood head into the machine’s cab and the buttons attached to the crane controls in the appropriate position.

The optional radio control replaces the electricity cable. With Naarva LoRa radio control, it is possible to control 1-4 valves simultaneously. The transmitter is available with buttons placed in an aluminium case or with mini buttons suitable for the mini handle. The transmitter can also be connected to the base machine’s own buttons, in which case the transmitter is delivered ready for installation with a 5-pin cable. The controller is suitable for use in both 12V and 24V DC systems without modification. The operating voltage may be different in the transmitter and receiver.
