The Malwa 560F is a truly lightweight yet productive forwarder with an excellent working environment. First class design and build quality, coupled with a well proven engine, crane and control system, all from top manufacturers, and finished with great attention to detail. This makes the 560F an unbeatable forwarder in its class. The low net weight and small turning radius enables the machine to operate gently and with minimal impact to the ground and trees. This machine is ideal when operating on sensitive sites, in tight thinnings or where minimal ground damage is important.
The 560F can be fitted with an additional trailer which doubles its carrying capacity without increasing ground pressure. This increases the carrying capacity to 9 tonnes, over 10 wheels, which makes it the gentlest and most efficient forwarder for its size.
