The PistenBully 400 is a versatile and powerful snow groomer designed for efficient slope preparation at ski resorts with varying requirements. It combines excellent performance, precise handling, and agility, ensuring reliable operation on slopes of any layout and length. The PistenBully 400 W is the winch-equipped version, developed for operation on steep terrain and under challenging conditions. Its automatically controlled winch enhances the machine's stability and enables safe maneuvering even on gradients of up to 100%.
The key difference between the models is the presence of the winch on the PistenBully 400 W, making it the ideal solution for tasks that demand maximum control—especially on difficult-to-access and steep sections.
