This 1996 Bell T12B is a forestry forwarder — a purpose-built machine used to collect cut timber from a harvesting site and transport it to a roadside landing or loading area. Forestry forwarders are sometimes referred to as timber forwarders, and they represent a core piece of equipment in mechanised cut-to-length logging operations. Bell is a well-established South African manufacturer with a long history of producing heavy-duty forestry and earthmoving equipment, including forwarders, articulated dump trucks, and feller bunchers, serving industries where demanding terrain and rugged conditions are the norm.
This example is offered in used condition from Michigan, USA, with hours described as unknown. The seller notes that the machine is functional overall — everything works — though it would benefit from some light attention and maintenance. It is configured as a double bunk forwarder, meaning it is equipped with two stanchion bunks for carrying and securing logs during transport, a practical setup for handling a range of timber lengths in the field.
Trades are welcome, and the machine is priced at $19,950.
