A RELIABLE WORKHORSE
The Järnhästen is a powerful machine with high load capacity despite its lightweight design. Its low ground pressure makes it gentle on soil and vegetation. Additionally, the machine is easy to operate and simple to learn.

  – We want the ‘Iron Horse’ to function as a reliable work companion and create a sense of security for the user. The machine should be easy to work with, which is why quality is so important to us. We carefully consider new features and are diligent in choosing high-quality components, says Mikael Swartz, CEO of Lennartsfors AB.

By combining Swedish components and local production with carefully selected imported parts, the company has succeeded in building strong trust in the quality and reliability of the Järnhästen. HydraSpecma has been a supplier of the hydraulic components for 25 years, and the partnership has deepened over time.

  – HydraSpecma has the range to provide the components we need and to solve problems as they arise. They have a large assortment in stock, which allows us to get the help we need quickly, says Mikael.

DEVELOPMENT IN CLOSE COLLABORATION WITH HYDRASPECMA
The development of the Järnhästen is an ongoing process, and the focus is always on quality and functionality. Lennartsfors listens closely to its customers' needs and ideas, which has led to the launch of new variants.

Today, the Järnhästen is available in the base model Flex and two additional models. The Flex 2 is an advanced version with new features, such as remote control, a hydraulic winch, improved balance, and an electric anchoring winch. The Järnhästen Essence is the premium model in the lineup and features radio-controlled hydrostatic drive with powerful working hydraulics for various applications. It also has a unique dynamic chassis, powerful engine and several newly developed accessories.

The Järnhästen and its accessories include many hydraulic functions that must perform optimally to deliver the required power. Currently, optimizing the hydraulics of the Järnhästen Essence is the focus of development. HydraSpecma is involved in this project in close collaboration with Lennartsfors. The companies hold regular reviews, and HydraSpecma visits Lennartsfors to assist with testing and troubleshooting.

  – Hydraulics can be complex, and it’s important not to overlook details. That’s why it’s great that HydraSpecma can provide technical support. We are a small company, and we appreciate HydraSpecma serving as a sounding board and helping us drive development forward, Mikael explains.

For HydraSpecma, the collaboration with Lennartsfors is both valuable and enriching. Integrating all functions in a radio-controlled valve block and a pump has reduced the number of components, which in turn has reduced the number of potential leak points. This has resulted in a safer, more energy-efficient system that also occupies less space.

  – It’s exciting to be part of the project to optimize the Järnhästen Essence. Lennartsfors has a great team that is passionate about the product, always striving to optimize it and to make it as user-friendly as possible. This challenges me to think creatively and to test alternative solutions, which I find inspiring, says Per-Anders Källdén, Application Product Manager at HydraSpecma Component AB.

GREAT OPPORTUNITIES
In recent years, Lennartsfors has dedicated a large part of its resources to product development. Now, Mikael Swartz is looking forward to an increased focus on business development and sales.

  – Our main focus remains to create sustainable machines that support forest management and open up the forest to both current and future generations. In addition, we see great opportunities for growth in new segments where the Järnhästen's good off-road ability, agility, power and smart accessories truly shine. With the market availability of three solid variants of the Järnhästen, we are ready to meet the needs of both existing and new customers, Mikael concludes.
