Why FÖRST
Proven systems with differences between models. These features assist feeding, operation and maintenance.
FÖRSTGrip
Two hydraulically driven feed rollers grip the branches and feed them into the chipping chamber.
AutoIntelligence
The no-stress system controls the feed according to engine load. The controller also supports maintenance diagnostics.
Robust construction
Steel in high-stress areas. Lightweight models such as the ST6P also use GRP panels to reduce weight.
Maintenance access
Accessible components make maintenance easier. Discuss servicing and spare parts directly with us in Malters.
