HSM Skidders
HSM builds its skidders, which it calls special forestry haulers, in twelve versions: the 805 in six, the 904 in five and the 208Z. The 805S and 904S are cable skidders with a winch and blade; the other ten carry a crane. Every version has a double-drum winch, articulated steering and hydraulics of up to 350 bar.
Cable skidders and crane skidders
The 805S and 904S are cable skidders with a double-drum winch and a blade, and no crane. The other ten versions carry a crane, from Epsilon and Mesera cranes to HSM's own S3 crane on the 805HD ZL, 904Z 6WD and 904ZL.
