This MAN TGS 33.480 is a used timber truck — sometimes referred to as a forestry truck or log truck — designed for the harvesting and transport of timber, moving felled logs and roundwood from forest sites to processing facilities or sawmills. MAN is a well-established German commercial vehicle manufacturer with a long history of producing heavy-duty trucks and transport equipment for industries including construction, forestry, and logistics.
This 2016 example is located in Slovenia and is offered at $76,500. It is equipped to a strong specification for demanding forestry operations. The truck is powered by a Euro 6 compliant engine, meeting the most stringent European exhaust emissions standards and making it suitable for use across modern European markets without restriction. It features a 6×6 drivetrain configuration, meaning all three axles are driven, providing the all-wheel traction essential for off-road and rough forest terrain where road surfaces are unpredictable or absent.
A retarder is fitted, which is an important safety and durability feature on a timber truck. The retarder provides engine-independent braking force, reducing wear on the service brakes during long downhill hauls with a loaded timber body — a common and demanding scenario in forestry transport.
The truck is equipped with a Palfinger M12Z loader crane, a recognised brand of hydraulic knuckle-boom crane widely used in the forestry sector for self-loading and unloading of logs. This integration means the truck is capable of independent loading operations without the need for separate lifting equipment on site. The listing also notes that a complete set of springs is included, indicating that the suspension components are present and accounted for as part of the package.
