A PERFECT TEN

FOR EFFICIENCY

PONSSE GAZELLE
AGILITY AND POWER IN A
COMPACT PACKAGE
PONSSE Gazelle is small in size but strong in power. Light weight and
even weight distribution are combined with an effective crane to ensure
efficiency under nature’s terms.
PONSSE Gazelle brings the most
modern forwarder technology on the
market to the smaller 10-ton size class.
The efficiency and reliability of the
PONSSE Gazelle forwarder is based
on the latest materials, high-class
components and modern manufacturing
technology. Don’t be fooled by the
Gazelle’s small size: Its efficient four-
cylinder Mercedes-Benz diesel engine,
powerful K70+ loader and great tractive
force combined with the modern
OptiControl management system ensure
unprecedented efficiency in its size
class.
PONSSE Gazelle’s low weight,
small turning radius, optimally
shaped load space and even weight
distribution mean that the most
demanding harvesting sites can be
treated with care and respect. Steady
base machine and strong loader help
the operator harvest trees at extreme
reaches without damaging the
residual tree stand. With PONSSE
Gazelle, environmental friendliness
is built-in.
POWER AND PRECISION. Increased tractive force, significantly more torque, the strong loader and
accurate loader control make working productive and easy.
PONSSE FLEET MANAGEMENT
With Fleet Management, machine entrepre­
neurs can at any time check the location of
the forest machine on the map or the cur­
rent situation of the stand using a computer
or mobile device. Forest machines equipped
with data transfer and GPS transmit the data
automatically to an Internet-based reporting
service. The Fleet Management service offers
reports to monitor machine production and
use, plan and anticipate maintenance, and
control lowbed transportation.
‹‹ PONSSE MOBILE FLEET MANAGEMENT makes
it possible to use the system with mobile devices
(phones and tablets with Windows, iOS or
Android operating systems).

FRAMES
A simple and strong frame structure.
In addition to reliability, the functional
positioning and serviceability of
components are typical characteristics
of the structure.
ERGONOMICS
Ergonomics and ease of use are
important factors when it comes to
productivity. The completely upgraded
cabin offers plenty of storage space,
the most ergonomic controls available
in the market and the excellent
visibility which is characteristic of all
PONSSE forest machines.
LOADER
The strong K70+ S/M loader offers
massive power for loading. The loader
is based on technical solutions found
to be reliable through years of use. A
reach of 7, 9 or 10 metres, a lifting
torque of 106 kNm and a seamless
connection to the OptiControl system
increase the machine’s efficiency and
economy.
ENGINE
A more powerful next generation
Mercedes-Benz engine with higher
torque (150 kW / 800 Nm) in Europe.
Fewer emissions, more power!
SERVICEABILITY
Ease of maintenance can be achieved
through an improved positioning of
service points, service lights and safe
service platforms. Furthermore,
highquality components enable
extremely long service intervals of up
to 1,800 hours.
TRANSMISSION
The upgraded transmission offers
more practical tractive force and an
even better feel in all types of terrain.
