New Logstacker Ships To British Columbia
Allied Systems Co., parent company of Wagner Logstackers, has delivered the first of its new generation Logstackers into Canada. The four wheel drive, 60 ton operating capacity model L4120 shipped to British Columbia in March.
“All of the new features that we’ve added make this the most advanced and productive Wagner Logstacker we’ve ever manufactured,” says Ron Vandlac, Territory Manager for Wagner.
Features like twice the hoist speed of older legacy models, double reduction planetary axles and wet brakes for longer service life, lighted stairways for easy and safe access on and off the machine, an easily accessible and newly designed cooling package, plus a more spacious and comfortable cab with the best visibility complement an optional eco-friendly hydraulic oil and a virtually leak-free hydraulic design.
“Most people remember Wagner as these colossal machines, slow yet powerful, designed only for lifting treelength wood,” adds Vandlac. “And while there may have been some truth to that back in the day, our new generation machines are designed to handle all wood lengths.
Operating capacities from 60,000 lbs. to 160,000 lbs. in both 2WD and 4WD.
