This Komatsu 895 is a used forestry forwarder — sometimes referred to as a timber forwarder — a purpose-built machine designed to collect and transport cut logs from the harvesting site to a roadside landing. Komatsu is a globally recognised manufacturer of heavy equipment, producing machinery for construction, mining, and forestry applications, and their forestry line is well regarded for durability and performance in demanding terrain.
This 2016 machine is located in Rovaniemi, Finland, and has had three previous owners. It rides on eight wheels and is equipped with a hydrostatic-mechanical transmission, delivering a combination of stepless hydraulic drive and mechanical efficiency suited to the variable conditions of forest work. All eight tyres are reported at 40% remaining tread depth.
The forwarder is fitted with a 165F crane with a reach of 285 feet, paired with a Gripen 40std clamp for log handling. A Maxi measuring system is installed, enabling on-board timber measurement during operations. The machine is equipped with Load Flex bolsters — a system that allows the load bunk to articulate and adapt to varying log lengths and load shapes — which, together with what the seller describes as a particularly large load space, enables high-volume timber transport in a single pass. The seller notes the machine handles brush and slash removal effectively in addition to standard timber forwarding.
The forwarder was manufactured in Sweden and is available for inspection and test operation at its current location in Rovaniemi.
