Power
The heart of all PONSSE models
is the OptiControl system. OptiCon-
trol combines all the main compo-
nents of the machine. The crane,
drive transmission, diesel engine
control, and the measuring instru-
ments are combined to a single,
easily controlled entity. OptiControl
is based on PONSSE developed
technology, the corner stones of
which are reliability and ease of
use. All the measurements and
adjustments made by OptiControl
are easily readable on the single
and clear display.
OptiControl controls the mar-
ket’s most modern diesel technol-
ogy, which combines economy and
environmental friendliness. The
system feeds only the power need-

system and the electronically con-

vides PONSSE with the top per-
formance in its class. PONSSE is
also economical. Electronic con-

cated air-to-air intercooling tech-

PONSSE is a real efficiency pack-
age for the new millenium’s forest
harvesting.
PONSSE´s cab is the scene of the new-
est forest machine technology. It is a
working environment for professionals
who appreciate perfect comfort, safe-
ty and ergonomics. The patented active
suspension system ensures first class
working conditions for the driver.

The Ergo´s short construction makes it very agile in its class
size. Due to its active suspension the ground pressure caused
by the tires is distributed evenly and the drive routes remain
narrow. This is why the Ergo is also well suited for
