Kesla expands its range of accessories for harvester heads by introducing the new BB360 rotator, enabling unlimited rotation without traditional movement restrictions. The solution responds to the growing demands for efficiency, productivity, and machine utilisation in forestry operations, as well as to increasingly demanding working conditions.

Unlimited rotation without hose limitations
The BB360 rotator eliminates the restrictions related to hose routing between the boom and the harvester head, which have traditionally limited the working area and increased the risk of hose and control cable damage. These challenges have often led to unplanned downtime and additional maintenance costs.

Similar types of solutions are in use among other harvester head manufacturers in various configurations, and the concept has proven to be reliable in demanding field conditions.

Improved efficiency and smoother operation
The new rotator solution enhances working efficiency and allows operators to focus on what matters most, as there is no longer a need to constantly monitor the orientation of the harvester head in relation to energy transfer and cabling. This enables smoother and more uninterrupted work, even in challenging environments.

Availability and continuous development
The KESLA BB360 rotator is manufactured in Finland and is currently available installed on KESLA 24RH-III and 26RH-III harvester heads. Availability will be expanded in the future to meet customer needs across different markets.
The first harvester heads equipped with the BB360 are on their way to customers.

KESLA harvester heads are manufactured in Finland. The development and testing of new products and accessories are carried out in close cooperation with customers worldwide, ensuring that solutions are proven in real working conditions and meet high-quality standards. The BB360 rotator is a strong example of Kesla’s continuous investment in product development, quality, and customer experience.
