Remote Control for Forestry Winches

The Fornax 2S series provides a safe, complete, and highly reliable remote‑control solution designed specifically for challenging outdoor environments. Its robust construction makes it ideal for forestry winches and other heavy industrial or agricultural machinery. In the Netherlands, it is widely used in industrial cleaning applications as well.

This new generation incorporates direct feedback from end users, resulting in an ergonomic, intuitive transmitter equipped with keypad lighting and a built‑in flashlight for improved usability in all conditions.

Safety Performance

The Fornax 2S has undergone extensive testing and meets stringent safety requirements. It maintains a stable, secure connection even in dense forest environments. As a Performance Level C system, it includes safety sets, out‑of‑range protection, and a dedicated STOP button to ensure safe operation at all times. With a response time of less than 0.1 seconds, it is engineered to react instantly in critical situations.

eSTAB

To prevent the tractor from tipping over and ensure optimal safety, eSTAB (Electronic Stability Protection) can be used. This feature is available as an option for all models.

Do not confuse eSTAB with an ordinary tilt sensor, because eSTAB not only protects against tipping of the tractor in both axes but also against slipping and thus also secures the Z-axis – a first!

Equally unique is that eSTAB is integrated into the receiver, so no additional module needs to be installed.

The (one-time) calibration of the zero position takes place within a few seconds and ensures unparalleled accuracy.
