This MAN TGS X4 is a timber truck — also known as a log truck — purpose-built for the transport of long round timber and forest harvesting materials. Timber trucks of this configuration are the backbone of forestry logistics, moving felled logs from harvest sites to sawmills and processing facilities. MAN is a well-established German commercial vehicle manufacturer with a long history of producing heavy-duty trucks for the construction, forestry, and haulage industries, and this machine represents one of the working configurations found across European forestry operations.
The truck is configured as a long-timber transporter, featuring a crane-behind-cab layout with an Epsilon S270L88 crane unit. The crane's load diagram is documented across multiple radii: 4 m at 6,110 kg, 5 m at 4,870 kg, 6 m at 4,040 kg, 7 m at 3,450 kg, and 8 m at 3,010 kg, giving a clear picture of lifting capacity across working distances. A high seat (Hochsitz) is fitted for the crane operator, and gripper controls are included. The crane is equipped with an emergency stop, and hydraulic outriggers provide two-point stabilisation during loading operations. One hydraulic extension is also fitted.
The drivetrain includes a ZF 16 S 252 OD gearbox paired with a ZF Intarder retarder, which provides sustained braking on long downhill runs without relying solely on service brakes — a significant practical benefit on forest roads and mountain descents. MAN BrakeMatic is also present, and the truck is fitted with ABS, traction control, and a power take-off (Nebenantrieb) to drive auxiliary hydraulics.
The L-series long-distance cab is specified, trimmed in black fabric with two doors, a comfort seat, and a bunk for overnight use. Equipment within the cab includes electric mirrors, electric windows on both sides, a multi-function steering wheel, and an air horn. The truck rides on leaf springs and is fitted with an aluminium fuel tank. It carries a green environmental sticker (Umweltplakette grün), indicating compliance with the relevant German low-emission zone requirements at the time of classification, and meets the low-noise classification G1. The vehicle is described as roadworthy and is located at Gassmann GmbH in Bovenden, Germany, at postcode 37120. A matching trailer (listed separately under reference 83993) is available for an additional net price of €19,900, and a gripper attachment is also available at extra cost.
