The chipper has maximum mobility due to a number of features.
The All Road has four driving wheels (Nokian 650-65 R38), and all steering, allowing three steering modes: both axles together, each axle individually or the front axle only. Two engines are available:
- Volvo Penta TWD 1683 engine (6 cylinders, 16 litres, 585 kW, 796 hp, 3650 Nm), and
- Caterpillar C18 engine (6 cylinders, 18 litres, 563kW, 755 hp, 3504 Nm) which does not require AdBlue.
The crane consists of a Palfinger Epsilon S110F104, with a reach of 10,1 m (33 ft) with a FG31R grapple and electric controls by means of joysticks. The crane is positioned at the very centre of the machine for better distribution of weight for both during transport and the working phase, avoiding abnormal twisting on the vehicle frame.
It has 4 stabilising feet, two with side exit, in order to optimize the machine stability and thus increase the operator’s comfort. It has a wide loading hopper especially designed for the processing of voluminous material, equipped with a feeding chain, 1400 mm (55 in) wide and positioned at 1050 mm (41 in) from the ground for faster loading operations, either with little piles or large stacks of wood.
Pezzolato’s closed drum, well known for its reliability and guaranteed to last the machine’s lifetime; designed to guarantee quality chips both small and big size. The drum weight is approximately 4500 kg (9,920 lb) and is staggered on the drum in order to better distribute the machine stress, decreasing vibrations, noise and fuel consumption.
The comfortable cabin can be adjusted in height and in all directions to improve the visibility of the loading area and of the unloading conveyor during the use of the crane. Wholly glassed and air-conditioned, it has all controls for total management of the machine during the machine movement and chipping phase.
It has optimized software that assures that the operator can displace the vehicle in the middle of the yard without stopping the chipping. It can also move automatically from the configuration on the road to the working one in less than 60 seconds.
The fan for the expulsion of the chips is hydraulically driven with a stepless change of speed so that the rpm can be adjusted according to the real needs, reducing consumption and the production of excessive fine chips. The speed, adjusted by the operator, is kept constant by the system, even if the r.p.m. of the main engine changes. The fan’s and unloading conveyor’s wearing parts are composed by wear proof plates including a standard steel base and some carbide units (CDP – Castodur Diamond Plates). Source
