    Yannick Dubé

    Being a logger is not an easy living. Summers are hot and winters are cold, the land is not forgiving and the demands I have for my equipment means they either make me money or they make me lose money. I don’t lose money with my Eltec equipment and sometimes I just wish my other machines could do the same.

    Yannick Dubé, Logging Owner/Operator

    Yandro Briere

    What I really like about working with Eltec is the level of service they provide for all aspects of my equipment. When we’re working and I need to solve an issue with one of my machines, being able to reach a technician with my first phone call means I don’t wait in a cue for answers. Keep in mind my fellers and bunchers are working 24/7. We only turn off our machines to fill them up with fuel or service them, so minimizing downtime is a priority.

    Yandro Briere, Logging Owner/Operator

    Joe Gagnon

    I still have my first Eltec and it still runs everyday with just over 55,000 hours on it. I treat my equipment with a high degree of respect and keep my machines very clean by blowing them out daily and washing them completely down monthly. I’ve had other brands in the past, but they never performed like my Eltec machines have no matter how well I maintained them.

    Eltec Bunchers

    Eltec Buncher models are designed and optioned to serve a variety of markets and work methods for loggers.  We manufacture a range of models in our Buncher line that can meet the various demands and regulations that our clients have in the markets we serve through our distributor network.  Our equipment integrates best-in-class components from our industry leading partners and the engineered layout of our machines makes us known for reliability that is easy to access and maintain in the field.

    The Standard Options

    Standard options offered throughout each model series include:

    • Different engine tiers to fulfill environmental standards for the various global markets we distribute our products to.
    • Customized boom and stick configurations that will work with any head our customers already own or plan to use.
    • Eltec’s proprietary control systems provide an intuitive and response interface that enables operators to easily and quickly configure our machines for their unique work conditions and to their personal work preferences.
    • Responsive levelling system options for our customers that work in mountainous terrain.
    • ELTEC cabs are certified under ROPS – FOPS – OPS regulation.
      • With three emergency exits: left side door, front and the roof, the operator is working in a safe cabin.
      • The cabin is also designed to ensure absolute comfort and minimize work fatigue with sound proofing and customizable air suspension seats.  The entire cabin is ergonomically designed and is 100% operator focused.  That’s the benefit of having a machine built by loggers, we know what you need.
    • Our machines are designed to be reliable with significant design consideration put toward infield maintenance and emergency repairs.
    • With a focus on designing durable machines, our machines are built with premium materials and components sourced from our industry leading manufacturing partners.
    • The stability of our machines is unparalleled, and can even be amplified with extended track options and reactive levelling systems that make our models feel like an extension of the operator.
    • The ease with which our machines can be maintained is also baked into all our models.
      • Eltec’s operator centric design philosophy makes accessibility to critical components a priority.
    • Our long list of customization options provide the opportunity for us to build a machine that suits your needs.

    Our machines are specifically designed for the forestry industry and are actually built by Loggers for Loggers.

    FB277B Overview

    This ELTEC short tail swing is a tracked machine designed and purpose built to deliver high productivity, consistent with the demands of a 7 day-a-week.  Whether working in a selective harvesting or final felling application, the ELTEC 277 Series is powered by an industry leading, highly fuel efficient engine and an enhanced hydraulic system, designed specifically for the demands of forestry work.

    Better stability is achieved with additional support by a chassis with a very long wheelbase. The boom system allows the machine operator to extend and retract the boom on a horizontal plane smoothly and quickly using a single joystick.

    By using well engineered structures and the highest quality materials available, we manufacture the 277 series to be durable with an excellent capacity-to-weight ratio.

    ELTEC 277 Series machines are also available in either a harvester or buncher configuration complete with boom and arm options, specific to customer requirements with dedicated hydraulics tuned for any head on the market today.

    All ELTEC machines have a soundproof and insulated cab equipped with a highly adjustable heated seat with pneumatic suspension. The front full-height 32mm (1.25’’) thick polycarbonate window provides a peerless overview of the work area. To ensure superior comfort, ELTEC 277 series machines feature a high-capacity, integrated HVAC system with multiple adjustable airflows. Connected and external device friendly audio system integration is also available with any of our machines, with optional/adjustable control configurations.

    The spacious engine compartment with steel catwalks is designed to simplify service and maintenance. Once opened, the hood is transformed into a platform for component service and easy maintenance. The filtration system is easily accessible for cartridge replacement, as is access to batteries and all other critical components.

    Our clients will testify that the ELTEC 277 Series is a highly productive, reliable machine with great operator ergonomics.

    B-Series Modifications and Improvements

    The Cummins L9 Stage V engine powers all our B-series machines.  These engines come with across the board improvements including a waste gate turbo system, EGR has been eliminated and has a single Diesel Exhaust Fluid/Selective Catalytic Reduction (DEF/SCR) system.  These improvements reduce emissions and improve fuel efficiency from our lower tiered engine options.

    In the B-Series, visibility in the cab has increased enabling the operator to have an even wider field of vision in any direction.  Three emergency exits have been even better engineered to further assure operator safety and improving daily functional use.

    The geometry of the boom & stick has also been improved to accommodate Eltec’s proprietary hydraulic Flow Recovery System – FRSTM and provide further protection to the hydraulic hoses and fittings.

    Central control system programming has improved presets and more intuitive interface making it easier for operators to dial in the settings to their preferences.

    The outer shape of the engine cap has been redesigned to reduce debris accumulation and prevent it from entering engine compartment.

    The spacious engine compartment, with its steel catwalks, is designed to simplify servicing and maintenance. Side-by-side hydraulic oil cooler, radiator, and charged air cooler plus AC condensers are located for fast and easy service access.

    Together, all our improvements to our B-series machines in combination with the Cummins L9 engine create a very noticeable increase in fuel efficiency which will of course vary by operator, harvest method and terrain.
