CABIN AND CONTROL SYSTEM
The most spacious and comfortable cabin andthe most ergonomic controls guarantee thebest working comfort. PONSSE Opti information
system is an advanced and easy-to-use interface
for machine and work management.

ENGINE AND HYDRAULICSPowered by a Mercedes-Benz engine, producing
consistent power over a broad rpm range, Buffalo
King moves with the toughness of its namesake.
Its fast response to the throttle, steady torqueand strong hydraulics make the machine humble
and easy to use.

FRAME STRUCTURES AND FRAME
OSCILLATION LOCKThe design of the Buffalo King frame
focuses particularly on durability and ease ofmaintenance. The reliable frame oscillation
lock, equipped with hydraulic cylinders, is solidand acts as a shock absorber when driving. Inaddition to reliability, the functional positioning
and serviceability of components are typicalcharacteristics of the structure.

POWER AND PRECISION
Buffalo King’s strong hydraulics and precise feelmake loading easy and reliable. The maximum
reach of the loaders extend all the way to10 meters.

ACTIVE CRANEPONSSE Active Crane offers a new wayof controlling the loader and boosting
efficiency. It is a loader control system which
the operator uses to control the grapple
movement instead of individual functions,allowing the operator to concentrateefficiently on loader work. Active Crane iseasily controlled using two levers, one ofwhich controls the grapple height from theground and the other controls the directionof movement. What is essential is thatthe operator does not need to control all
the functions simultaneously. Once theappropriate grapple location has been given
to the machine, it will perform the lift anduse the boom and extension automatically.
The operator can easily switch betweenActive Crane and conventional loader
control with the push of a button.
Active Crane is based on Ponsse’s uniqueSensor Module technology, which is usedin the PONSSE Scorpion leveling systemand the PONSSE Active Frame suspension
system. This provides the Active Crane witheasy maintenance and reliability.
