This MAN TGS 26.540 is a used timber truck — also known as a log truck — built for the haulage of long timber and round wood. Timber trucks of this type are purpose-configured heavy commercial vehicles equipped with bolsters, stanchions, and crane loading equipment to handle raw forestry material directly at roadside or depot. MAN is a well-established German commercial vehicle manufacturer with a long history of producing heavy-duty trucks for construction, forestry, logistics, and infrastructure industries across Europe and beyond. This example dates from 2009 and is located at Gassmann GmbH in Bovenden, Germany (postcode 37120), with the crane body being a 2010 build.
The load body is a long-timber transporter configuration fitted with an Epsilon S260L82 forestry crane mounted behind the cab, along with an elevated operator seat (Hochsitz) for crane control. The crane's load diagram indicates a lifting capacity of 4,720 kg at 5 metres, 3,370 kg at 7 metres, and 2,940 kg at 8 metres, giving a clear picture of its working reach and capacity across typical timber-loading distances. The crane installation includes a grapple control system, an emergency stop, and two-point hydraulic outrigger support for stability during loading operations. A single hydraulic extension is also fitted.
The cab is a long-distance (L-series) sleeper cab with a black fabric interior, a comfort seat, and a bunk. Equipment includes electrically adjustable mirrors, electric windows on both left and right sides, a multi-function steering wheel, traction control, and a compressed-air horn. Long-range driving lights and a SCR emissions system are fitted, and the vehicle carries a green environmental badge, confirming compliance with the relevant German low-emission zone requirements.
The drivetrain features a ZF 16 S 252 OD sixteen-speed gearbox with an integrated ZF Intarder retarder for sustained speed control on long descents — a particularly relevant feature for heavily laden timber haulage in hilly or mountainous terrain. MAN BrakeMatic is also present, providing additional braking assistance. A power take-off (PTO) is installed to drive the crane hydraulics. The truck is described as roadworthy.
A matching trailer (reference number 87584) is available separately at an additional cost of €13,900 net, and a grapple attachment can also be supplied at an additional price. The truck is offered for sale at $22,900.
