This Komatsu 855 is a used forestry forwarder — sometimes referred to as a timber forwarder — a purpose-built machine used in cut-to-length logging operations to collect, load, and transport felled timber from the cutting area to a roadside landing. Komatsu is a globally recognised manufacturer of heavy equipment, with its forestry division producing a comprehensive range of harvesting and forwarding machines built for demanding woodland conditions. This example was manufactured in 2017 and is located in Germany, where it is described as immediately available.
The machine is equipped with a CRANAB CRF 130F loader crane with a reach of 9.60 metres and ProTec protection, providing the lifting and articulation capability central to the forwarder's loading function. The load area measures 2 × 3 metres and features mechanically adjustable bunk widening, giving flexibility to accommodate different timber assortments and load volumes. A Maxi PC X20 control system is fitted, along with a G36 grapple for handling logs at the landing or stump.
Tyre specification is consistent front and rear, with 710 × 26.5 FKF F2 tyres on both axles, each reported at approximately 75% remaining tread depth. The machine rides on Comfort Bogies and is fitted with the Comfort Ride suspension system, both of which contribute to operator comfort and machine stability on uneven forest terrain.
The operator environment is well appointed. The cab includes air conditioning, a parking heater for cold-weather starts, LED headlights, a reversing camera, a KAB-Airvent seat, a hydraulic ladder for safe cab access, and a radio with MP3 connectivity. Gold foil cab insulation is also noted. Filling pumps for both oil and diesel are fitted as a practical convenience feature, along with a vacuum pump.
The machine has undergone a workshop inspection and full service, with all filters and oils replaced. German documentation and software are included, and free transport to the point of deployment is offered by the seller.
