This Barko 80BC is a log loader — sometimes called a knuckleboom loader — designed to grip, lift, and manoeuvre logs and timber at loading sites, log yards, and sawmills. Barko is a well-established American manufacturer with a long history of building hydraulic loading cranes and forestry equipment for the timber and logging industries.
This particular unit was erected in 2007 on a Freightliner M2 truck chassis. Power comes from a Caterpillar C7 7.2-litre engine, a widely respected inline-six diesel known for durability in demanding work applications. The transmission is a Freightliner 9-speed unit, and the axles are Meritor R units geared at a 3.90 ratio.
The loading crane itself is a Barko Hydraulics 80BC, rated to a maximum lift capacity of 5,000 lbs. The machine is offered in used condition and is currently located in Mexico.
