The TZ17 is a Z-type timber crane delivering 158 kNm of lifting moment, 17 tonne-metres of lifting capacity and a class-leading 10.9 m outreach. Two boom lengths (9.8 m and 10.9 m). High 290 bar operating pressure, protected hydraulic routing (EPSLINK + EPSCOPE + HPI), and available with all five control methods (including top-seat Comfort Drive). Designed for demanding conditions.
Longest reach in its class
The TZ17 combines 158 kNm of lifting moment with class-leading 10.9 m reach — power and reach for demanding forestry and recycling tasks.
Smart Control & integrated electronic end stop damper
Smart Control is available as an option: easier, more intuitive and faster operation. The integrated electronic end stop damper reduces wear.
High 290 bar operating pressure
Higher operating pressure than the TZ12/TZ15 models delivers more power and keeps the cycle efficient. Generation 3 hydraulic optimisation ensures fast operation.
Protected hydraulic routing
EPSLINK, EPSCOPE and internal hose routing (HPI) protect the hydraulics from mechanical damage, particularly when working in dense forests.
Central greasing system
The automatic system supplies all key systems, reducing grease consumption by up to 80% and extending the service life of bronze bearings.

EPSCOPE
Extension boom system with single or double telescope — hoses are protected inside the structure.
HPI – Hose Package Inside
Protected hydraulic routing inside the booms reduces the risk of mechanical damage — especially in dense forests.
High 290 bar operating pressure
Higher operating pressure than the TZ12/TZ15 models delivers more power for demanding lifts.
Outriggers
Support widths 3.9–5.4 m with full-length design extending service life.
Emergency stop
Standard on all control methods — safe shutdown in dangerous situations.
Seat switch
Integrated safety mechanism ensures controls are active only while the operator is seated.
Optional Features
Smart Control
Boom-tip control system — the operator focuses on the boom tip rather than individual cylinders. Includes an integrated electronic end stop damper.
Load Sensing (LS)
Enables up to 12% faster operation — improves efficiency in demanding lifts.
LED360 lighting
Six 3,000-lumen floodlights on the control stand plus two on the knuckle boom — full 360° illumination for low-light and inclement weather.
Automatic central lubrication
Electric grease pump with distributed feeding — lubrication is fully automated, grease consumption reduced by up to 80%.
