Stable construction with a robust chassis

The foundation of Kellfri’s forestry trailer is a strong steel chassis designed to withstand heavy-duty use in forest and off-road conditions. The stable frame provides excellent torsional rigidity and ensures that the load remains secure even on uneven ground or slopes. The chassis is also well balanced to reduce strain on the ATV, and the low ground pressure makes it possible to travel even on soft surfaces. Everything is designed for durability and smooth towing, making the trailer both easy to manoeuvre and built for long service life.

Powerful engine with electric start

The strong 9 hp petrol engine delivers sufficient power to drive both the crane and the hydraulics with high precision. The engine starts easily with electric start, making operation quick and convenient even at low temperatures. The electric start is powered via the ATV’s battery, and the connection cable is included in the delivery. This means you don’t need a separate battery for the trailer, making the system both simple and reliable. The electric start is not only a convenience but also a safety and efficiency feature. You avoid pulling a recoil cord every time you start, saving time and reducing physical strain during long work sessions. It also allows you to start and stop the engine quickly when moving between tasks, saving fuel and reducing noise in the forest.

Safe and well-designed hydraulics

The trailer is equipped with hydraulic support legs that provide stability during both loading and unloading. They ensure the trailer stands securely even on uneven surfaces, increasing safety when handling heavy timber. All hydraulics are built-in or well protected, reducing the risk of external damage from branches, stones, or dirt. The hydraulic system is designed for reliable operation and minimal maintenance, allowing you to focus on the work instead of repairs. As standard, the forestry trailer is supplied with yellow hose protection for added visibility in dense forest.

Adjustable bogie and optimized hitch load

The adjustable bogie can be moved lengthwise to suit different log lengths. This allows you to balance the load and adjust the hitch pressure on the ATV. The correct hitch load is crucial for safe driving and stability – too much pressure can overload the ATV, while too little can make the trailer unstable. By adjusting the bogie, you can optimize both traction and grip, ensuring that the forestry trailer rolls smoothly and follows easily even when fully loaded.

Efficient crane and grapple for safe timber handling

Kellfri’s 3.6 m crane for the ATV forestry trailer is strong, flexible, and designed for efficient timber loading. The hydraulic crane provides smooth, precise movements and is easily operated via a 2-lever valve block directly from the driver’s position. The reach offers a perfect balance between strength and precision – ideal for work in dense forest or confined spaces. The Grapple KG09 is a hybrid grapple designed for both picking and loading, with a robust frame and head in 6 mm steel for maximum stability. It features a tight housing that protects the cylinder, hoses, and fittings, and opens up to 700 mm. The grapple’s geometry handles both small and large logs, and with a weight of around 31 kg, it’s both efficient and easy to handle. Together, the crane and grapple form a reliable combination for forestry work that’s both powerful and easy to manoeuvre.

Environmental awareness

Working on a small scale in the forest is a sustainable way to manage nature. Swedish forests absorb more carbon dioxide than many other EU countries – thanks to their size and growth.

Investing in a forestry trailer for ATV is a smart choice

Investing in a forestry trailer for your ATV is a smart choice – especially if you work in the forest, own a small farm, or need a flexible work tool. You can transport firewood, brushwood, or logs quickly and safely without heavy machinery. 

An ATV with a forestry trailer can go where larger machines get stuck. You can easily access dense forest areas and narrow paths where tractors or forwarders cannot reach – all while keeping costs down. Low fuel consumption, minimal maintenance, and no need to hire help make it an economical solution.

A good forestry trailer is also versatile. It’s not only suited for forestry but also works for firewood hauling, clearing, fence material transport, or general farm work. 

For anyone who wants to work sustainably in their own forest, a forestry trailer for an ATV is a great choice. You can manage your forest on a smaller scale without leaving deep tracks in nature – while getting the job done efficiently.

The forestry trailer shown in the lifestyle images is equipped with wheel drive, frame steering, a radio-controlled winch, a 4.2 m crane, and tires with a traction pattern.
