This Hitachi ZX310F-6 is a log loader — sometimes called a timber loader or forestry excavator — a purpose-built machine designed for handling, sorting, and loading logs and timber at forest harvest sites, landing areas, and sawmill yards. Hitachi is a well-established Japanese heavy equipment manufacturer with a broad range of construction and forestry machinery serving industries worldwide, and their log loader line is built around robust carrier platforms equipped with purpose-configured upper structures for demanding timber-handling applications.
This 2018 machine is offered used from British Columbia, Canada, priced at $251,997. It is configured with a cab fitted with air conditioning, providing an enclosed and climate-controlled working environment suited to the variable conditions common in Pacific Northwest forestry operations. The loader is equipped with a full-width-span cab-width stance grapple — noted as a CWS B T grapple — designed to maximise log volume per cycle when picking and placing timber bundles. The machine also features forward-reach working capability, broadening the effective working radius at the log deck.
For visibility and safety, LED lights are fitted throughout, delivering strong illumination during low-light or early-morning operations. A camera system provides additional sightlines around the machine, supporting safe operation in busy yard environments. Satellite radio is included in the cab, adding operator comfort during long shifts. The unit is also noted as Tier 4 compliant, meeting the EPA and CARB final Tier 4 emissions standards applicable to off-road equipment of this size class.
