XCMG’s new design of forestryclamp loader is equipped with wood clamp specially designed for log handling. Atransverse force bearing mechanism is specially designed to address the complexmovements such as flushing and pulling of materials by the upper clamp and thedamage to the upper clamp due to the turning or walking of the machine on bumpyroads, and this design has applied and obtained a patent. The hinge point ofthe clamp is optimized and the optimized Z-shaped reversal six-bar mechanismincreases the breakout force by more than 35% at high-level unloadingpositions, which can better meet the reversal the gripping force of the clamp,and the arm of force of the oil cylinder of the upper clamp is extended toincrease the clamping force by more than 30%; the upper clamp is widened and areinforcement plate is added to the side to increase structural strength whilea wear-resisting plate is added to the bottom of lower clamp to extend theservice life of the clamp; the zigzag structure can increase the clamping forceto prevent slipping and shifting of timber; the enlarged diameter of uppersteel pipe can improve the clamp strength; the extended tooth top of the lowerclamp can increase the lifting efficiency; the protective plate is widened andthe protection for cylinder joint and pipeline is strengthened; the machinesand tools are all made of high-strength materials and the key force-bearingparts are structurally reinforced; double anti-wear design is adopted and theworst working conditions are considered through CAE analysis to prevent openwelding and cracking. A protective net is added to the cab that can ensure easystartup and clean, increase the exchange for external fresh air, increaseinternal press, and prevent external dust; a protective bracket is added at thebottom and thickened steel plates are used in the engine, gearbox, and frontframe to prevent branches and leaves from entering into the engine compartmentand chassis, enhancing the protection for critical components.
