Wyssen Skyline Cranes - Wyssen Seilbahnen AG

The latest development is the extremely
compact, remote controlled Wyssen
carriage HY-2.
The patented system is fabricated from
high strength steel, 4 times stronger
than common steel.
Thanks to the remote control, the
operator in the forest can stop and
secure the carriage at the exact right
location.
The mainline clamp allows the carriage
to be released while the load is raised
or lowered, permitting movement to a
new location and re-clamping to the
cable.
This facilitates the sideways pulling of
the load and protects the remaining
timber growth from damage.
As soon as the hook is drawn tight
into the carriage, the skyline grip
automatically releases, allowing travel
of the unit. When under tension, the
hook is secured against rotation,
preventing damage to the mainline.

The carriage travels over the heavyduty
Wyssen support saddles.
The mechanical mainline safety feature
activates an emergency stop if the
mainline is parted. In the event that
severe swinging motion causes the grip
to clamp to the side of the skyline, the
clamping process would be repeated
until the carriage stops.
An unintentional release by slackening
of the mainline while passing a tower
is prevented by the control system
