HSR Tajfun hay crane
The HSR hay crane has been developed in cooperation with Tajfun, the forestry crane manufacturer. The combination of many years' experience in forestry coupled with the efforts and wishes of the hay farmers with 30 years' practical experience have resulted in a new generation of hay cranes. The HSR hay crane can be summed up in three words – robust, high-performance and efficient.
Ingenious configuration concept
Ingenious configuration concept
With its ingenious configuration concept for crane suspension, motor, hydraulic power unit and cab, the SR hay crane sets standards for the modern age. The results of this configuration concept are optimum weight distribution and minimised noise and thermal load for the farmer.
Practice-oriented features
Practice-oriented features
A variety of features make an enormous contribution to lightening the daily workload. From the 180° high swivel mechanism, which is what makes it possible for the crane jib to be lowered by up to 90° in order to place the round bales, through the loading volume of up to 10 m³, which makes filling and unloading the hay box faster, the HSR hay crane offers a wealth of practice-oriented features.
Maximum comfort
Maximum comfort
The enclosed crane cab and air-conditioning, the leather upholstered seat, connections for radio and loading cable, a large drinks holder, a sensitive control system with load-sensing technology, four LED spotlights and optional remote radio control - all this ensures maximum comfort for the operator.

15 Highlights
180° high swivel mechanism
180° high swivel mechanism
The special geometry of the 180° high swivel mechanism facilitates placing the hay bales at the head end when the crane jib is lowered. This simplifies the stacking of round bales.
17-ton stacking chain
17-ton stacking chain
The robust double flyer chain ensures adequate stability and a high degree of operational safety all year round. The know-how for this has been used many times in forestry.
83 cm long special tines
83 cm long special tines
The 83 cm long special tines have a specific curvature, which prevents the crane tines from becoming tangled in the box structure.
Grab extensions
Grab extensions
The grab can be extended by one or two tines without the use of tools. This means that, at the maximum expansion stage, a loading volume of 12 m³ of hay can be lifted.
Enclosed cab
Enclosed cab
The HSR hay crane can be ordered with an enclosed cab. In the Premium model the cab is fitted with windscreen wipers, radio, heating, air conditioning, drinks holder, sash windows in the access doors and much more.
2x and 3x extension
2x and 3x extension
The HSR hay crane can be ordered with a 2x and 3x telescopic arm. With a reach of up to 12.5 metres this hay crane can also be used in large hay barns.
Static equilibrium
Static equilibrium
The HSR hay crane can be ordered with static equilibrium of up to 8 mT and up to 12 gross mT. Special models possible. The corresponding lifting force can be found in the Ranges - Load Capacity diagram.
Load-sensing technology
Load-sensing technology
The sophisticated Danfoss control system makes the hydraulic system even more sensitive and more precise in comparison to its predecessor models. This is based on the load-sensing system (LS).
Air conditioning and heating
Air conditioning and heating
The integral air-conditioning unit offers well-earned comfort in summer and in winter you can work on the hay in pleasant temperatures thanks to the heating system.
Speed
Speed
Despite having an unladen weight of some 3 tons, the HSR hay crane is very fast and is slowed down to a maximum 60 metres per minute only by the statutory provisions.
Interior lines
Interior lines
Both on the 2x and on the 3x telescopic extension systems thrust arm cylinders and hydraulic lines are on the inside and therefore protected from mechanical damage.

Tips for installation / crane assembly
The assembly of the hay crane depends on the conditions in the hay barn. HSR Heutrocknung offers solutions for mounting on the chair clamp, mounting on the structural timbers and mounting with girder panel. Our field personnel will be pleased to visit your farm to advise you which type of rail suspension is suitable for your hay crane and/or your structural factors.
The HSR Tajfun hay crane can be installed by our trained servicing staff, assigned to a third-party firm or you can install it independently.
Maintenance, servicing and warranty
The HSR hay cranes are supplied with a one year's warranty. The hay crane is supplied with a service record. The crane must be service regularly by a certified technician and the service entered in the service record.
Scope of delivery
With each HSR hay crane you receive:
- One abseiling package: This must be carried in the hay crane and allows you to abseil down from the hay crane in an emergency.
- Labels and stickers: The scope of delivery contains all the necessary warning notices, which must be affixed in clearly visible positions on the hay crane and in the hay barn.
- Manual: A crane manual in the respective national language.
- Service Log: Regular inspections and maintenance work must be performed on your hay crane and noted in the service record. This will guarantee long life expectancy.
Signage and TÜV crane acceptance
When the crane is delivered you receive all the panels, signs and stickers prescribed by law in the respective national language required. The customer must affix these in the respective places. These signs are required by the inspector for acceptance at the legal crane acceptance. We therefore recommend that the signs are affixed in accordance with the regulations.
Crane acceptance must be carried out by a certified inspector. HSR delivers and mounts the crane. The operator of the crane system is responsible for crane acceptance and the permission to drive the crane. If you do not have an inspector to hand, we will be happy to recommend a certified inspector in your vicinity.
Crane rails and barn static equilibrium
The customer or his builder is responsible for calculating the barn static equilibrium and the choice of rails. A data specification sheet for this calculation can be requested from the HSR field personnel.
Point in time for mounting the crane
The point in time of mounting the crane is decisive for the smooth mounting of the crane. Therefore the crane rails must be suspended immediately after the installation of the barn girders and prior to superimposing the roof.
Before the interior fitting of the hay barn can begin, the hay crane MUST be mounted and the crane rails secured. At this point in time an electrical connection must already be installed, so that a test drive of the hay crane can be conducted.
A comprehensive list of all the individual operations in the correct chronological order is available for the barn construction.
Accessories for the hay crane
Crane cab
Gripper
Comfort seat, Leather seat, air conditioning
Remote control
Optional: Thermal imaging camera
Even distribution of the material to be dried is a basic prerequisite of mechanical hay drying. The thermal imaging camera allows you to detect compressed areas with ease. The mobile thermal imaging camera can be successfully used from the crane. A support ensures ease in alternating between the crane joystick and the thermal imaging camera.
Optional: Crane mounting
We will be pleased to undertake the mounting of the crane for you. Our trained specialists have the appropriate certificates. As a coordinated team we are able to perform the work quickly. Our comprehensive construction fleet has a service bus, a truck a with trailer and a 40 t hoisting crane.
Optional: Servicing
Changing the oil, changing the filters, etc. should be carried out at least once annually. We recommend a service before the start of the hay season. We will be pleased to undertake the annual service on your hay crane. In April every year we embark on a grand servicing tour. This reduces the call-out charge for each individual and you are ready for the first cut.
Optional: Remote control
We offer optional radio remote control for the HSR hay crane. This makes it possible to control the crane from the ground. All the features can be used by means of three control levers. If this is of interest to you, please contact our sales team.
