European plantations are undergoing a "high-density planting" transformation — seedling density in Germany, Poland, and elsewhere has increased from 500 to 1200 trees per hectare, with row spacing reduced to 1.2-2.0 meters. Traditional wide-body dump trucks are restricted from entry due to "seedling damage and inability to navigate narrow paths." Hengwang’s forestry tracked dumper (HW Series), with its "narrow body + heavy-load" design, has become essential for forest operations. Below, we break down its adaptation logic for different forest scenarios using specific model parameters.
Young Plantations (Row Spacing 1.2-1.5m): The "Threading Technique" of a 1.6m-Wide Body
Challenge: Seedling spacing is only 1.2-1.5m. Traditional 2.5m-wide vehicles easily break saplings. Soil compaction must be ≤1.2 kg/cm² (to protect new roots).
Hengwang Solution: HW6000L forestry tracked dumper
Dimensions: 3700×1600×2200 mm (width 1.6m), leaving 30cm safety clearance on each side in 1.2m rows. Turns without touching seedlings.
Tracks: 320×90×56mm engineering rubber tracks, 75% ground contact ratio. Ground pressure: 0.6 kg/cm² at 6000kg load, far below the safety threshold.
Efficiency: Cargo box 2400×1600×600mm. Transports 300 seedlings (20kg each) per trip. Hydraulic dual-cylinder dumping is 2× faster than manual unloading.
Mid-Age Plantations (Row Spacing 1.5-1.8m): "Efficiency Balance" with 8-Ton Load
Challenge: Requires transporting fertilizer and small logs. Low single-trip loads increase trips and soil compaction. Row spacing 1.5-1.8m still demands a narrow body.
Hengwang Solution: HW8000L forestry tracked dumper
Dimensions: 4200×2000×2200 mm (width 2.0m). Fits 1.5m rows. Turning radius 2.5m, avoiding jams in narrow paths.
Load: 8000kg, carrying 200 bags of organic fertilizer (40kg/bag). 30% more per trip than same-width models.
Tracks: 400×90×68mm wide tracks. Pressure: 0.7 kg/cm² at 8-ton load. Unloaded speed: 25 km/h, enabling 8+ extra trips daily.
Mature Plantations (Row Spacing 1.8-2.0m): "Dedicated Timber Transport" with 10-Ton Heavy Load
Challenge: Requires transporting logs ≥30cm in diameter. Load capacity ≥10 tons, while adapting to 15° slopes (preventing slippage).
Hengwang Solution: HW10000L forestry tracked dumper
Dimensions: 4600×2200×2300 mm (width 2.2m). Complies with EU’s 2.0m maximum row width limit.
Power: Yuchai 4102 turbocharged intercooled engine (95KW). Climbs 15° slopes at 10,000kg load without stalling.
Tracks: 450×90×70mm anti-slip toothed tracks. No slippage during heavy-load descent. Ground pressure: 0.8 kg/cm², protecting forest soil.
