JAKE Tractor Mounting & Guarding Systems for Forestry
JAKE Finland Oy, based in Lappajärvi, South Ostrobothnia, engineers specialist tractor mounting and guarding systems designed for forestry and heavy vegetation work. With manufacturing roots back to the 1950s, JAKE has earned a global reputation for strength, precision, and durability in demanding environments.
JAKE systems reinforce the tractor chassis to safely carry loader cranes and forestry attachments, distributing loads correctly across the frame while maintaining PTO and three-point linkage functionality. Paired with a PALMS forestry crane, the result is a compact, efficient and reliable setup for forestry contracting, arboriculture, land-clearing and utility corridor work.
Compatible with leading tractor platforms, including Valtra, JAKE offers a complete range — mounting kits, boom supports, support legs and armour guarding — along with stabilisers, lighting, and integrated trailer control options.
JAKE is now proven in New Zealand conditions, including installations completed with JJ Ltd in Dunedin to support crane-fed chipping operations for professional crews. ALFA Equipment supplies, fits and supports JAKE systems and PALMS crane packages NZ-wide. Contact us for specifications, pricing, and fitment guidance.
