RITTER SKIDDER – STRONG AT WORK, GENTLE ON NATURE

Ritter skidders are ideal for all forestry work. Their compact design, maneuverability, powerful, innovative drive technology, and impressive hydraulic management make Ritter forestry machines true workhorses.

RITTER-POWER, SMALL, AND AGILE: THE R 170-4 WHEEL

Nimble and agile on any terrain! The R 170 is an absolute powerhouse and, thanks to its compact frame design, the ideal choice for narrow and winding terrain. The strength of the R 170 lies in its maneuverability, yet the operator does not have to sacrifice comfort.

For the new R 170 skidder, Ritter uses a Flexxaire 500 series reversible fan. As a result, Ritter benefits from fuel savings, noise reduction and unbeatable cleaning action due to our blade reversal technology. This is achieved by a variable blade angle setting that is adapted to the current cooling requirement. This IVP technology (Infinite Variable Pitch) is fully integrated into the machine and engine control system.

The Flexxaire application team worked closely with Ritter to design the optimal fan for the Stage 5 Iveco diesel engine and integrate it into the machine.
