This MAN TGS X4 is a used timber truck — sometimes referred to as a log truck or timber lorry — built for the transport and loading of timber and forestry materials. MAN is a well-established German commercial vehicle manufacturer with a long history of producing heavy trucks and transport equipment for construction, logistics, and specialist industries including forestry. This example dates from 2017 and is currently located at Gassmann GmbH in Bovenden, Germany (postcode 37120).
The truck is configured specifically for timber haulage, fitted with a timber transport body that includes two sets of stanchion bolsters (Rungenschemel) to secure and contain log loads. A rear-mounted Epsilon M13Z83 crane is installed at the back of the vehicle, providing on-board loading and unloading capability without the need for separate lifting equipment on site. The crane is equipped with a high seat (Hochsitz) for the operator, along with gripper controls and an emergency stop system. Two-point hydraulic outrigger support and one hydraulic extension are provided for stability during crane operation. A timber grapple is available at additional cost. The load height is approximately 1,380 mm, and a load diagram is included with the vehicle.
The cab is the LX long-distance configuration with a medium-height raised roof (Lg. Haus / mittelhohem Hochdach), trimmed in black fabric with two doors. Inside, the cab provides a comfort seat, one bunk (Liege), and a folding bunk (Schlaflieg), making it suitable for extended journeys. Equipment includes electrically adjustable mirrors, electric windows on both left and right, a multi-function steering wheel, Bluetooth connectivity, and a pneumatic air horn. The drivetrain includes a MAN TipMatic 12-speed automatic gearbox with overdrive (12 28 OD) and MAN HydroDrive, the brand's hydraulic all-wheel drive system designed to improve traction on soft or uneven ground. Retardation is handled by MAN BrakeMatic and MAN PriTarder systems, which reduce reliance on the service brakes during descents.
The axle configuration includes a trailing axle that is both steerable and liftable, improving manoeuvrability and allowing the operator to reduce tyre wear and fuel consumption when running unladen. A PTO (power take-off, Nebenantrieb) is fitted, designated NTX/10c, powering the crane and hydraulic systems. Suspension is a combined leaf and air setup. Standard safety and assistance systems include ABS, traction control, and the vehicle is described as roadworthy. An air and electrical trailer coupling (AHK Luft+Licht) and underride protection (U-Schutz) are also fitted. The vehicle is offered for sale at USD 46,900.
