The Malwa 560F is a forwarder for thinning inside stands designed for efficient, low-impact timber transport on sensitive ground. The small turning radius and superb tracking make this machine an agile off-roader. And when fitted with tracks, it’s unbeatable on soft ground. Load capacity 5.5 tonnes – or up to 9 tonnes with trailer.

The powerful 75-horsepower Caterpillar C2.8 engine meets the latest environmental requirements and delivers a favourable balance between performance and fuel economy. The hydrostatic transmission operates in isolation from the working hydraulics, ensuring that the machine always has power where it’s needed. True differentials ensure equal wheel rotation regardless of ground contact.

For efficient loading, the Malwa 560F can be equipped with the Cranab FC5 crane with a 6.5-metre reach or the Cranab FC5DT crane with double telescopic arms, internal hose routing and 8.3-metre reach. The grapple alternatives, including grapple tilt, ensure precise and flexible timber handling.

With Generation 5, we’ve taken further steps to improve both performance and the work environment. An optimised hydraulic system delivers improved precision and efficiency while the continuously variable transmission contributes to more controlled manoeuvring. The articulated joint lock has been reinforced to increase stability when working in difficult terrain. This affords the operator greater control and a safer working day. The new cab offers more floor space and even better visibility.
