This Komatsu 840.4 is a used forestry forwarder — sometimes referred to as a timber forwarder — a purpose-built machine designed to collect and transport felled logs from the cutting area to a landing or roadside collection point. Komatsu is a globally recognised manufacturer of heavy equipment, with a broad portfolio spanning construction, mining, and forestry machinery.
This 2006 machine is configured with a Komatsu G36 crane, which is the articulated loader arm used to pick up and stack logs on the bunk. The cab provides an enclosed operator environment suited to demanding woodland conditions. For traction and ground stability, the forwarder runs front chains paired with rear tracks, a hybrid undercarriage arrangement that helps distribute the machine's substantial weight and maintain mobility across soft, uneven, or wet forest terrain.
The operating weight is 31,625 lb, giving a clear indication of the machine's size and load-bearing capability relative to other machines in the class. A fire suppression system is installed, an important safety feature on forestry equipment that operates in environments where dry debris and hot components create elevated fire risk.
The machine is located in Maine, USA, and is offered in used condition.
