Workhorse for pushing and climbing

Get in, select personalized settings, drive off – this is now possible with all PistenBully vehicles, in a completely identical manner. Because the new PistenBully 400 completes the family: An entire generation with identical operating comfort and convenience, with the cleanest exhaust technology and the most attractive performance – and all this in the familiar quality.  

What remains of the old PistenBully 400 is its perfect balance of force and weight and its outstanding maneuverability thanks to its compact dimensions. What is new and significantly better is the clean engine, the comfort cockpit and the intuitive operation that is also part of the PistenBully 100 and 600 vehicles. The assistance systems are also new, which makes driving even easier. Completely prepared for SNOWsat.

SNOWsat

SNOWsat snow depth measurement provides a precise overview of the snow situation in the ski area. Only if you know the snow depths everywhere on the slopes can you move snow in a targeted manner. The result: perfect slopes for your guests every day, increased productivity, enormous cost savings, careful use of resources and increased work and operational safety.
 

But: SNOWsat is more than just snow depth measurement. Discover all SNOWsat solutions!

Die hochwertige Innenverkleidung im Cockpit des PistenBully 400

Innenraum

Hochwertige und pflegeleichte Innenverkleidung. Neue Bodengruppe. Beides mit innovativer Wärmedämmung und deutlich verbessertem Schallschutz, dadurch ist der PistenBully 400 leiser als je zuvor. Die optimierte Belüftung in der Mittelkonsole sorgt für ein perfektes Raumklima – auf Wunsch erstmals mit Komfort Klimaautomatik, dazu viel Platz und Bewegungsfreiheit.

The touch display is intuitive and easy to operate. All active parts of the vehicle are color-highlighted. With a fast navigation option using symbols.

Semi-circular steering wheel  of PistenBuilly 400

Semi-circular steering wheel  

Precise steering: the semi-circular steering wheel can be steplessly adjusted in the horizontal level and is easy to grip in your hand. The operator steers the PistenBully without any difficulty and finds the most important functions directly in the steering.

Stick steering of PistenBully 400
Alternative

Stick steering

As an alternative option to the steering wheel: drive control stick control for direct handling and steering. The power potentiometer controls the driving speed.

Engine of PistenBully 400
Compact engine 

Compact engine with simple design. Fewer complicated components and improved access. Straightforward and easy to service; less prone to malfunction and faults. 

Thanks to higher torque and better power-to-weight ratio, the PistenBully 400 is the most powerful vehicle in its class with the best pushing power and gradability! 

Diesel particulate filter 

Environmentally friendly fleet: Equipped with a clean 6-cylinder engine with 435 metric HP, including a diesel particulate filter, the PistenBully 400 also meets EU Stage V / EPA Tier 4 final. 

Larger tank volume 

Even though fuel consumption is lower, it has considerably more power and torque than the predecessor model. Longer range thanks to larger tank volume (360 L) for efficient and economical operation.

Stronger power transmission 

Thanks to larger drive pumps and an optimized gear ratio, the speed and tractive force increase significantly.

Assistance systems

AutoTracer
MAXIMUM TRACKING STABILITY

AutoTracer

Autonomous steering assistance while cornering and automatic countersteering on side slopes simplify work for the operator. The rear implement carrier with smart, active steering assistance makes this possible in both the locked and floating positions.

SNOWsat
RESOURCE-CONSERVING SNOW MANAGEMENT

SNOWsat snow depth measurement

The high-precision snow depth measurement helps the operator detect slope areas with small amounts of snow and identify snow reserves – under, in front of and on both sides of the vehicle. This way snow can be pushed with precision and maximum quality can be achieved for the slope structure. Increases productivity while conserving resources and helping to preserve the environment.

AutoWinch
OPTIMAL PULLING FORCE

AutoWinch

The intelligent winch matches the driving speed to the winch rope speed. If they differ, for example, because of slip, the pulling force is adjusted automatically, so it is gentle on the winch rope.

AutoWinch 
Rope speed exactly matched to driving speed by means of automatic tractive force control. Manual override if necessary. Less wear and tear on the winch rope, less strain on the operator.

Active winch, maximum tracking stability 
Electronically and proportionally activated capstan winch pump. Enables automatic co-steering by the winch. Optimum steering properties even in difficult slope conditions and with a lateral tensile load. 

Constant tractive force, new capstan winch 
The capstan drive ensures a consistently high tractive force and rope speed regardless of the remaining rope length on the reel. The advantage: more safety, especially at high driving speeds.
