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.
Uniform operating concept in all models of the current generation. For all 4 models of the PistenBully 400. Joystick for the intuitive control of all four axes. Intuitive iTerminal with touchscreen. Four operator profiles can be called up individually. Driver's seat, steering wheel and armrest form a single ergonomic unit.
Assistance systems lessen the driver's workload with smart automatic functions. For simple handling, easy work and improved slope quality.
Highest power output of its class thanks to low dead weight, more power and greater torque. For better gradability and more pushing performance.
The active 4.0+ winch with AutoWinch (automatic winch force control) can be easily operated even in difficult slope conditions. It makes the operator's job easier and is gentle on the winch rope.
“The cabin comfort of the new 400 has taken a great leap, so there is hardly any difference now between the 400 and 600 and you can enjoy the same comfort
Fully overhauled – the new main frame, the stronger tensioning axle and larger drive pumps.
The new 6-band CombiPlus chain is extremely durable and stable. It conquers every slope and is easy to steer. Stable and capable of climbing!
The new implement carrier is specially optimized for its main area of application and includes vibration compensation and damping as standard equipment. And it allows for enormous movement radii in park building in particular.
Tried and tested in the big brother, the PistenBully 600, the quick-change system with reduced hose routing offers precise and subtle activation of the functions.
At a working width of over 5.2 m and with the option of a snowgun holder, the AllWayBlade delivers exactly what is expected of it: lightweight construction, stability, flexibility and precise preliminary grooming for an ideal slope.
The operator is in focus. Our cab achieves this principle with comfort, ergonomics and intuitive operation. Large windows, a perfect arrangement and ideal lighting provide a good overview, especially at night. Optimized ventilation and a sun sensor for automatic heating and air conditioning regulation ensure an optimum cab climate. And lest we forget – there are various storage options and beverage holders!
The AutoWinch is perfectly compatible with the vehicle thanks to cutting-edge technology and provides safety on the slope with corresponding pulling force, active steering and automatic winch force control. All-automatic if desired.
High-end and low-maintenance interior lining. New floorpan. Both with innovative heat insulation and significantly improved noise protection, which makes the PistenBully 400 quieter than ever. The optimized ventilation in the center console provides a perfect cab climate – on request with comfort automatic climate control system for the first time. In addition, there is plenty of space and freedom of movement.
Ergonomic and free movement in all directions. For intuitive control. The joystick's four axes permit four simultaneous movements of the front blade. Proportional control of the attachments. All one-handed. Four operator profiles can be called up individually.
For a quiet hand and safe handling in any driving situation: driver's seat, armrest and joystick are permanently connected to each other. One ergonomic and comfortable unit. Individually configurable for the operator. Enabling fatigue-free working, even when tackling bumpy driving in difficult terrain.
Die SNOWsat Schneetiefenmessung sorgt für die genaue Übersicht über die Schneesituation im Skigebiet. Nur wenn Sie die Schneetiefen überall auf der Piste kennen, können Sie gezielt Schnee verschieben. Das Resultat: Jeden Tag perfekte Pisten für Ihre Gäste, gesteigerte Produktivität, enorme Kosteneinsparungen, schonender Umgang mit Ressourcen, sowie erhöhte Arbeits- und Betriebssicherheit.
Aber: SNOWsat ist mehr als nur Schneetiefenmessung. Entdecken Sie alle Lösungen von SNOWsat!
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.
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.
As an alternative option to the steering wheel: drive control stick control for direct handling and steering. The power potentiometer controls the driving speed.
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!
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.
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.
Thanks to larger drive pumps and an optimized gear ratio, the speed and tractive force increase significantly.
Assistance systems
Rear implement carrier with intelligent, active steering assistance. Possible in both fixed position (locked) and floating position (released). Automatic steering support while cornering. Automatic counter-steering on cross-slopes. For automatic support and reduction of the driver's workload!
Intelligent winch with automatic tension control. Activated at the control panel. Matches driving speed and winch rope speed. If there is a deviation, for instance, because of slip, tractive force is increased. Manual override if necessary. Less wear and tear on the winch rope, less strain on the operator.
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.
