About Moipu
Moipu is the forestry-attachment brand of Finnish family business Moisio Forest Oy in Viitasaari. The company designs and manufactures its own products and covers welding, machining, painting and assembly within its production process. The range focuses on harvester heads, energy-wood heads and feed rollers for mechanised forestry.
What does Moipu manufacture?
- Harvester heads for cut-to-length work
- Energy-wood heads for small-diameter stems and biomass harvesting
- Feed rollers and related harvesting components
- Configurations for excavators and purpose-built forestry carriers
Machines and applications
Moipu products are used on excavators and forest machines. The appropriate setup depends strongly on carrier hydraulic capacity and the timber being harvested. Energy-wood work can favour a light, fast head, while heavier final-felling work requires more feed and cutting capacity.
Company and brand structure
Moipu is the product brand; Moisio Forest Oy is the Finnish company responsible for design and manufacturing.
Choosing Moipu equipment
Check head weight, hydraulic flow and pressure, cutting diameter, feed capacity and control-system compatibility. For excavators, evaluate the complete conversion package, including boom geometry, hose routing, guarding, cooling and counterweight, not only the head mounting plate.
Product range in context
The Moipu attachment range includes harvester heads and tree shears. Typical applications include forestry and tree care. Compatibility depends on the exact attachment model, carrier size, mounting interface, hydraulic system and intended duty cycle. Compare the relevant product family first, then verify model-specific dimensions, weight, oil flow, operating pressure and control requirements for the machine and job.
What to compare within the Moipu range
Within the Moipu range, specifications differ by product family. Compare the main dimensions, carrier requirements, hydraulic demands and working limits shown below before treating two models as direct alternatives.
| Product area | Typical role | Key specification checks |
|---|---|---|
| Harvester heads | Felling, delimbing and processing trees. | Tree size range, feed system, delimbing knives, measuring system, carrier hydraulics and control integration. |
| Tree shears | Cutting and handling trees or heavy vegetation. | Cutting diameter, grab geometry, rotator or tilt setup, service weight and carrier hydraulics. |
Where Moipu products fit
Moipu equipment can be configured differently depending on the job. Application-specific geometry, wear protection, hydraulic demand, working reach and carrier balance should be considered alongside the headline attachment type.
- Forestry & tree care: tree size, cutting or gripping capacity, rotation, hose routing and the carrier hydraulic system determine practical suitability.
Compatibility and installation checks
For Moipu products, relevant carrier types include forestry machines and excavators. A technically compatible attachment still needs to fit the machine, coupler and hydraulic system as a complete installed package. Compare mounting dimensions, operating weight, hydraulic flow and pressure, hose routing and any required electrical or control interfaces before ordering.
- Carrier operating weight and the carrier manufacturer’s permitted attachment mass.
- Available hydraulic flow, working pressure, return-line requirements and the number of auxiliary circuits.
- Control-system, electrical or sensor compatibility where the attachment uses integrated functions.
- Overall attachment height, working envelope, transport dimensions and hose routing.
Service, wear parts and ownership
Purchase price is only one part of attachment cost. When evaluating Moipu, check access to cutting, crushing or drilling wear parts and the time required to replace them. Also compare parts availability, service documentation, dealer support and the practicality of carrying critical wear items on site. For high-hour attachments, small differences in maintenance access and parts lead time can matter more than a minor difference in initial price.
Information to prepare before requesting a quote
For a useful quotation on harvester heads and tree shears from Moipu, provide the carrier make and model, operating weight, year if relevant, coupler or pin dimensions, available hydraulic flow and pressure, and a short description of the material or job. Include the required working width, capacity, cutting size or other task-specific target where applicable. This reduces the risk of comparing prices for attachments that are not actually equivalent.
