This Doosan DX225 LL is a used log loader — sometimes referred to as a timber loader or forestry excavator — designed for the handling, sorting, and loading of logs and timber in forestry and wood-processing operations. Log loaders are purpose-built machines that use a hydraulic grapple to grip and maneuver large volumes of cut timber, making them an essential piece of equipment at sawmills, logging sites, and log yards. Doosan is a well-established South Korean manufacturer of heavy construction and forestry equipment, known for producing robust crawler-based machines that serve demanding industries worldwide.
This 2014 machine is fitted with a high-rise cab equipped with air conditioning, giving the operator an elevated vantage point that is particularly valuable when working around large log piles and timber stacks. Power comes from a Doosan diesel engine. The machine is equipped with a 360-degree rotating grapple, allowing full rotation for precise log placement and efficient sorting without repositioning the carrier. A hydraulic heel is also included, which works in conjunction with the grapple to stabilize and control logs during loading and stacking operations.
The undercarriage is reported at approximately 40% remaining life, which should be factored into any ownership cost assessment. On the maintenance side, the machine has had a new wiring harness and alternator installed by an authorized Doosan dealer, providing confidence in the integrity of the electrical system.
This log loader is located in South Carolina, USA, and is offered for sale at $59,500.
