FOR SALE – FALCON C-19 BERGER YARDER
A proven Berger platform upgraded with modern Falcon controls and engineering.
This C-19 Berger has been rebuilt around a next-generation control system, designed to improve operator control, efficiency, production, maintenance and reliability.
Powered by the proven Detroit Diesel 8V92 and mounted on a Hitachi ZX300-1 tracked base, the machine is equipped with Main, Haulback, Skyline and Strawline drums, making it a versatile yarder for a range of cable logging applications.
Key features include:
C-19 Berger four-drum winch set – Main, Haulback, Skyline & Strawline
Detroit Diesel 8V92 engine
Hitachi ZX300-1 tracked undercarriage
Modern PLC-based Falcon control system
Touchscreen HMI with dedicated Travel, Setup, Hauling and Service modes
Joystick-operated hauling and travel controls
Water-cooled braking system
Hydraulic cab tilt
Drum/track camera and in-cab viewing screen
LED work lighting
On-screen machine monitoring, diagnostics and alarm system
Safety Park system for isolating drums while personnel are working under the lines
Integrated safety interlocks, including automatic isolation of functions when the operator's bail arm is raised.
The control system separates Travel, Setup and Hauling functions, locking out functions that aren't required for the selected operating mode. This gives the operator a much more controlled and user-friendly interface than you'd traditionally associate with a Berger.
The machine retains the heavy-duty mechanical construction Berger yarders are known for, including a fabricated rolled-steel main frame, heat-treated steel gearing and individually removable shaft assemblies.
For a contractor looking for a capable hauler/yarder without the capital cost of purchasing a new machine, this Falcon C-19 Berger offers a strong combination of proven mechanical components and significantly modernised controls.
