This 2019 Hitachi ZX310F LL-6N is a used log loader — sometimes referred to as a forestry excavator or timber handler — built specifically for the demanding work of sorting, loading, and stacking timber at logging sites and wood yards. Hitachi is a globally recognised manufacturer of heavy construction and forestry machinery, known for producing robust excavator-based equipment used across earthmoving, demolition, and resource industries worldwide.
The machine is equipped with a dedicated forestry cab, designed to offer enhanced protection for the operator in the hazardous conditions typical of logging and timber-handling environments. The undercarriage is a high-wide configuration with a gauge of 9 feet 7 inches, providing a broad, stable footprint well suited to uneven terrain and heavy lift cycles. The arm features a VIH-style top cylinder mount, and a top-mounted tool cylinder with associated pins is included, supporting the log loader's elevated working posture and grapple-driven operation.
Power comes from a Tier IV engine, meeting the North American emissions standard for off-highway diesel equipment of this class. The machine is fitted with a WBM XPC500 Power Grapple (serial number 1W58197-1), a purpose-built forestry grapple that complements the loader's capability for handling large volumes of logs efficiently.
This log loader is located in British Columbia, Canada, and is offered for sale at $185,382, with financing available. It represents a well-specified forestry package ready for timber-handling operations.
