Ponsse Scorpion Wheeled Harvester

The Ponsee Scorpion Harvester, the icon of modern forest machines, was launched in 2013. This changed the whole forest machine industry. Now, it is time for a new change. The new Ponsse Scorpion has arrived.
The best features are the same as before, only further improved. Good visibility in both daylight and low light, high stability in difficult conditions, and excellent ergonomics make the Scorpion a favorite among operators. Increased space, high-quality materials and a stylish design raise the comfort of the machine’s cab to an entirely new level. Once the door is closed to the outside world, all is quiet, elegant and in the right place. The operator has been further emphasised in the design of the Ponsse Scorpion. Their well-being is a prerequisite for productivity. So they focused on designing as good a workplace as possible.

The incredible stability of Ponsse Scorpion comes from its eight wheels and active stabilization system. The patented stabilization system is based on detecting the crane direction and position, on the basis of which the rear frame is pressed in the working direction. Pressing the rear wheels against the ground and the weight of the rear frame improve the machine’s stability significantly when working on the side of the machine, also when the machine is moving.

The Cabin leveling, balances the cabin, also in difficult terrain. The frame of the machine consists of three parts linked by rotating joints. The cabin is located in the middle frame, which is kept hydraulically balanced, while the front and rear frames tilt according to the terrain. The pivot point of lateral leveling is very low, which doesn't only keep the cabin straight, but also minimizes any lateral swaying and keeps the center of mass at the machine’s center line.

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 Scorpion. Choose H5 or H6 for thinning-based harvesting, or the sturdy H7 regeneration felling.
