KESLA 224 is a single-extension loader with an outreach of 7 metres and 7% more lifting power compared to its predecessor. The redesigned loader boom system provides improved lifting geometry, especially for the close lifting features.
The loader’s pressure demand is a mere 190 bar. The boom structure has been modified to reduce the consumption of oil per working cycle, while also providing a significantly more lifting power for the outer boom. The hose system is overall neater than in the previous models. The slewing device base has been redesigned similar to the 320 series, ensuring the clearest possible visibility to the load space and excellent hose protection.
The filter has been installed in the slewing device base to make its replacement significantly easier. The loader is a versatile machine that is suitable for both local forest management and contract work thanks to its size.
The larger models (starting from 204) have a wide-angle joint that enables stable lifting power in all boom positions.
Reliable rotator with unlimited slewing. Swingdamper as standard in the bigger loaders.
The combination is sturdier with stabilizers that usually come with the loader. The design of stabilizers is well thought. In Addition to A-frame telescopic stabilizers, flapdown models for difficult conditions are available.
The new KESLA proC control system is suitable for controlling loaders and cranes with most electronic control valves. Any current controlled electric control valve, such as Parker or Walvoil can be used as the control valve. The new control system is very convenient to use due to its individually adjustable operating speeds and quick response time. Individual settings can be saved for several people. A new type of joystick is ergonomically designed and the control system itself has many user-friendly features.
An extensive selection of high-quality control valves; mechanical, hydraulic or electric.
All models include a cast slew system with oil bath.
Part of the standard delivery in larger models.
The booms are made out of high-quality steel.
The hydraulics are well-protected on top of the booms. In machines with double extenders, the hoses run neatly and well-protected on roller guides.
The extender provides plenty of extra reach. The selection includes models with both single and double extenders.
Features: wide jaws, optimal geometry, plenty of compressive force.

The KESLA A-frame stabilizer legs are very sturdy. The cylinders are completely protected inside the stabilizer leg equipment. The stroke length of the stabilizer legs is sufficient even when mounted on high trailers, without limiting ground clearance of the trailer (stabilizer legs in upper position). Weight of the stabilizers is 302 kg.
KESLA winch significantly increases a loader’s reach. A radio-controlled control system facilitates, for example, the dragging of tree trunks at distances of up to 40 metres. Precise radio-control ensures that working the winch is safe. The KESLA winch is also extremely useful in felling trees at difficult and dangerous places. All KESLA 200 and 300 Series loaders are prepared for winch installation as part of the standard delivery.
Additional hydraulic unit, which can be installed in a KESLA-loader, give great circumstances to work even without tractor hydraulics. Unit gives power to both loader and trailer's drive. HD-pump can be placed whether on tractor's PTO or on tractor's drawbar. The oil tank is placed in trailer's front screen.
KESLA loader’s boom or pillar can be fitted with working lights. Thanks to the powerful working lights, working without daylight is not a problem.
Special colour for the loader. The special colour can be chosen freely from RAL colour chart.
The KESLA 40LF/e stroke delimber combined with a KESLA loader is an efficient and reliable tool for delimbing, cutting and stacking timber. KESLA 40LF/e can be installed on the A support leg of KESLA 200 series loaders, KESLA forest trailers, or a three-point lifting device on a tractor. The control valve of the 40 LF/e is integrated into the stroke delimber, and the controls can be handled from the tractor cabin using a single joystick. This facilitates installation and provides a significant improvement to work ergonomics.
The KESLA 19GX felling head is designed for felling and loading energy wood. Its straightforward structure and operating principle make it extremely dependable. The felling head is easy to install and no additional hosing or wiring is required. The device has an ingenious integrated TILT feature, which gives the operator full controll of felling. The TILT-function is controlled by simultaneously activating rotator and grapple open/close functions. The felling head’s blade is easy to fold away, after which the head can be used for loading just like a normal grapple.
The KESLA 300X-grapple is suitable for loaders with a lifting power of 10–45 kNm (KESLA 211-305T). It is suitable for both tractors and small forwarders as well as excavators under 8 tonnes. It is an excellent, versatile grapple for loading firewood, soil, hay, bales, or brushwood. For example, the grapple can hold 0.3 m3 of firewood. Mounting directly to FR7-rotator (50 mm axle) and FR10-rotator (60 mm axle).
Mounted on KESLA timber grapples, the gravel bucket is suitable for loading soil or clearing ditches. Thanks to the narrow shape of the tip, the bucket sinks well into the ground. Connecting and disconnecting the bucket is quick and easy.
Mounted on KESLA timber grapples, the material gripper is well suited to the handling of chopped firewood, rocks, tree stumps, fresh feed, dry hay and other similar materials.
The new KESLA LS additional hydraulic pump is installed inside the new stabilizers (flapdown or telescopic) on the drawbar of a 102- or 122 trailer. Trailer drive, loader, stroker delimber or energy grapple can all be controlled by the same pump. Maximum oil flow 150 l/min (600 rpm). Maximum work pressure 280 bar. Oil tank of 110 litres, equipped with oil level and
oil temperature sensor (accessory).
Sturdy KESLA telescopic stabilizers are suitable for almost all KESLA loaders. The stroke is long enough even with higher trailers. The support-width legs down is approximately 3 m. LS-hydraulic pump can be installed inside the stabilizers.
Sturdy KESLA-Flapdown stabilizers are suitable for almost all KESLA loaders. Length of the stabilizer legs can be adjusted and the support-width when down is up to 5 m. For the most difficult terrains there are additional integratable plates and cylinder guards available. LS-hydraulic pump can be installed inside the stabilizers.
KESLA bale claws suit KESLA proG25 and proG26 wood grapplers. They allow the moving of round bales without breaking the protective plastic covering.
Yes, KESLA-cranes and loader can be used in various ways - not only for timber handling. Usually another sort of grapple is needed though. KESLA-cranes are used in handling e.g. lime, bioenergy, scrap, metal, firewood among many others.
Yes, you can. In addition, KESLA-crane can be delivered tested with biogradable oil. Ensure the suitable type of biodegradable oil from the dealer.
Yes, excavator equipment and profile- or drainige buckets are available for loaders up to 203T.
