This Komatsu 855 is a used forestry forwarder — sometimes referred to simply as a timber forwarder — a purpose-built machine used in cut-to-length logging operations to collect and transport felled, delimbed timber from the harvesting area to a roadside landing. Komatsu is a globally recognised heavy equipment manufacturer with a broad portfolio spanning construction, mining, and forestry machinery, and its forestry division produces a well-regarded line of purpose-engineered forest machines.
This example was manufactured at the end of 2016 and is registered as a 2017 model year machine, and it is located in Lithuania, where it is offered for sale at $87,000, inclusive of 21% VAT by UAB Fomisas. The forwarder originates from Scandinavia and is reported never to have worked in Lithuania, which is consistent with a machine sourced from a market where mechanised cut-to-length forestry is the dominant harvesting method.
The seller describes the unit as being in very good condition. It has accumulated 20,000 machine hours and has been maintained under Komatsu service throughout its working life. The machine is also noted to be equipped with a comfort ride system, which on forestry forwarders of this type refers to a suspension or cab-damping arrangement designed to reduce operator fatigue over rough terrain. With 20,000 hours of recorded use and a consistent Komatsu service history behind it, this forwarder represents a machine that has been operated and maintained within an established service framework.
