Timber and log trucks

Transportation of forest — this is a separate category of road cargo transportation, since railway tracks are not always laid to the cutting sites.Road transportation of timber is carried out on special equipment — timber trucks and log trucks, which are built on the basis of the chassis.

Log truck - this is a type of logging truck designed to transport timber up to 8 meters.Logging equipment is a truck with a trailer, on which, depending on the size and volume of the cargo, a superstructure is formed.

A distinctive characteristic of timber trucks and log trucks is:

the presence of cones-vertical limiters around the perimeter of the platform;
protective plate separating the cabin from the load;
anti-slip toothed elements that provide reliable fixation of logs.

Not every truck is suitable for transporting logs and lumber. In addition to dimensions and carrying capacity, it is extremely important to prevent breakdowns and easy travel. Therefore, the technique must first of all have increased cross-country ability.

Volvo FMX chassis for timber transport

Among the large assortment of reliable trucks, the most powerful models are suitable for transporting timber, with a reinforced frame, increased ground clearance, and crankcase protection. The Volvo FMX chassis with a 6x4 wheel formula and a 500 and 540 hp diesel engine have become favorites in the forest transport segment.

At the heart of the truck is a powerful steel frame, a reliable running system with parabolic springs reinforced at the front, stabilizers of lateral stability, a strong bumper.
