The patented HG 4800C offers loggers the ultimate in flexibility for any logging job. Whether working in hardwood one week or juvenile pine the next, the HG 4800C does both jobs extremely well - giving the owner the versatility to bid different type jobs competitively with one delimbing system – maximizing his investment.
The 4800C features the largest throat opening (48”) in its class making it easy to place single or multiple stems. The newly designed 4800C throat provides a large V shaped throat that does not allow stems to kick out to the left or right side of the delimber. This unique design, combined with the 4800C’s state of the art low profile saw box is the foundation that has allowed us to introduce the first delimber that can be loaded from either the left or right side. The 4800C’s low profile design will provide loggers with the ultimate in flexibility allowing them to set up their decks to the left or right side saving the logger both time and money. The 4800C features steel tube extensions that can be raised and locked on the right or left hand side dependent upon which way the logger chooses to set up his deck and bring the wood to the delimber.
Using a Hydra-Gate, the operator simply pulls the stems through the delimber and allows the stems to fall into the Hydra-Gate trough. As the stems fall into the trough, they naturally fan outward. The loader operator pushes the stems back through the gate - completely delimbing them - and places them on the truck. The Hydra-Gate gives the operator the flexibility to increase production significantly by using the delimber and gate or, if in large wood, the delimber only!
The 4800C also features a revolutionary new knife design that will allow the logger to clean up large bundles of multiple stems as well as single stems better than any delimber on the market today. The 4800C, large throat and 26” log diameter circle allows for easy placement of multiple stems. While the 4800C’s circle opens to 26”, it makes a perfect circle at 18”. This unique design allows loggers the advantage of a large 26” circle for easy placement of multiple stems with the ability to clean up a large single stem or a smaller single stem better than any delimber in its class.
The 4800C’s three 8” forward and two 8” reverse knives (a Riley exclusive) allows the operator to delimb trees in both directions. The extra knife length allows the blade to sever the entire limb from the tree versus cutting it halfway and ripping it off with a shorter knife configuration. The reverse knives and the extra length will improve cycle times and production while reducing stresses on the loader.
The 4800C’s stout low profile design features a 6” x 6” steel tube frame versus a 4” x 4” or smaller steel tube frame offered by other manufacturers. The 4800C’s advanced design allows for a lower weight (6,800 lbs.) with greater durability since its strength is concentrated in areas of high stress.
