Tigercat has extended the release of the D-series shovel loggers to all markets . The Tigercat FPT powered S855D and LS855D can be configured for Tier 2 or Tier 4f . Tigercat FPT engines offer improved reliability and lower longterm maintenance costs . Best of all , the engines are fully supported by Tigercat and the Tigercat dealer network .
The S855D series shovel loggers are a uniquely versatile solution for steep slope and sensitive site logging applications . The LS855D is a quick , nimble and powerful carrier — well suited to felling , pre-bunching and shovel logging on steep terrain . The LS855D is commonly equipped with a feller director boom and the Tigercat 5195 directional felling head for felling and shovel logging .
Alternatively the carriers can be equipped with a live heel
|
boom system and grapple for pure shovel logging . Along with the high flotation undercarriage , this is an excellent configuration for southern US style log mat-based lowland logging applications .
With the patented Tigercat ER boom and energy recovery swing system , the S855D series shovel loggers can cost effectively forward wood to roadside in steep or wet soil conditions up to distances of 80-100 m ( 260-330 ft ).
A shovel logger can be strategically located in challenging parts of the cut block to forward trees to the skidder or fell and bunch for a yarding system .
Unlike excavator-based shovel loggers with add-on forestry packages , the S855D and LS855D are purpose-built for heavy duty forestry applications . The efficient hydraulic system is optimized for shovel logging and felling with a
|
directional felling head . The LS855D is equipped with Tigercat ’ s patented leveling system , providing exceptional stability in steep slope applications . It uses two massive hydraulic cylinders and heavy steel sections for a solution that is both simple and robust . The unique |
geometry of the leveling system promotes balance , poise and stability on slopes .
In addition , the ramped undercarriage allows the machines to easily drive up over rocks and stumps .

The Tigercat 1055C forwarder represents a major update to the heavy-duty , 14-tonne 1055 model series .
The 1055C now offers Tigercat ’ s innovative low-wide™ bunk system found on the larger 1075C and 1085C models . Low-wide provides superior line-of-sight to the load and reduces operator strain . The 1055C is also available with a choice of three wagon frame lengths and fixed bunks .
The new Tigercat F135T85 hooked crane means more lift for the 1055C and less chance of the crane contacting the gate . Increased operator confi dence and more lifting power translates to decreased loading and unloading times and increased productivity . The maximum reach of the new crane is 8,5 m ( 335 in ) and it has a gross lifting moment of 135 kNm
|
( 99,571 lbf ). The 1055C is powered by the Tigercat FPT N67 in Tier 2 and Tier 4 configurations . Tigercat FPT engines offer quick load response , low operating costs and high power density , combined with excellent fuel economy .
The engines are backed by Tigercat warranty and support . The Tier 4f configuration is rated at 159 kW ( 213 hp ) at 2,100 rpm and delivers a peak of 165 kW ( 221 hp ) at 1,900 rpm . The Tier 2 configuration is rated at 159 kW ( 213 hp ) at 2,100 rpm and produces a peak of 165 kW ( 221 hp ) at 1,900 rpm .
Tigercat forwarders have unsurpassed service access to all electrical , mechanical and hydraulic systems . All parts in the forwarder can be lifted out as opposed to dropped from underneath the machine . Thoughtful component
|
arrangement and access makes servicing Tigercat forwarders easier than competing machines .
The engine hood flips forward for great access to both sides of the engine and the entire engine compartment . The strong steel engine house cover forms a comfortable , spacious work platform in the open position .
As with the rest of the Tigercat
|
forwarder line-up , the operating environment is expansive and comfortable with optimized sight lines and ergonomics . Sound levels are very low . Lighting , operator controls and interface and the climate control systems are well engineered , contributing to high productivity and reduced operator fatigue during long shifts . |
