This Binderberger RW 12 Alpin is a used log trailer — sometimes called a timber trailer or forestry trailer — designed to collect, grip, and haul felled logs from the forest to a roadside or landing point. Binderberger is an Austrian manufacturer well established in the forestry machinery sector, producing a range of forest trailers, winches, and log-handling equipment for professional forestry and timber harvesting operations. This example was built in 2020, is located in Germany, and is offered at $47,100.
The trailer is equipped with a BK 4070 crane and features a mechanical cross-lever control system with a rotation function, supplemented by hydraulic pilot control with an electric function. The crane carries a GZ timber grapple and a 4.5-tonne rotator with internal hose routing via a flange connection, giving the operator full rotational control of the grapple for precise log placement. A set of LED working lights is mounted directly on the main crane arm to support operation in low-light conditions. The crane also has a hydraulic auxiliary function and a crane disconnection provision.
The running gear rides on four wheels fitted with 550/45-22.5 PR14 eight-hole tyres and is rated for road travel at up to 40 km/h. Braking is handled by a dual-circuit compressed-air brake system with spring-actuator accumulators. The trailer couples via a Scharmüller K80 coupling with a 3-tonne nose weight rating, and the drawbar is a hydraulically slewing underslung type with a standing platform mounted on it for the operator. An A-frame support with a 3.1-metre spread stabilises the trailer during loading, and a two-stage mechanical support foot is fitted. Road lighting is LED throughout, approved to German StVZO standards.
Log retention is provided by aluminium stanchions 1,200 mm tall, with an additional set of 1,200 mm aluminium stanchions for the fourth stanchion pair. A radio-controlled winch with 35 metres of 6 mm rope and a 1,500 kg pulling force is included for extracting logs from the stand. The driveline includes a BG4 cardan shaft measuring 1,010 mm, completing a well-specified, ready-to-work forestry trailer outfit.
