This Palms U12 is a log trailer — sometimes referred to as a timber trailer — designed to transport felled logs and timber from harvesting sites, working in conjunction with a loader crane to handle and stack the load. Palms is a well-established Italian manufacturer specialising in forestry equipment, including timber trailers, cranes, and winches built for demanding woodland and agricultural conditions.
This 2023 example is offered in used condition from Norway, though the seller notes that the trailer has never actually been put to work and has been stored indoors until recently, making it effectively as-new. It has a weight of 2,000 kg and is configured with three bunk banks, each providing 30 cm of width on either side to accommodate and secure a load of logs.
All wheels are fitted with brakes, which means the trailer meets the requirements for road use and can be legally towed on public roads. Tyre condition is described as visible in the listing photographs.
The trailer is equipped with a Palms 5.85 load-sensing crane, which gives the operator precise hydraulic control proportional to demand. The crane has a working reach of 8.5 metres, extendable by a further 3.3 metres via an extension arm, allowing timber to be loaded from a considerable distance. A winch is also included, and the entire system is operated via radio remote control, keeping the operator clear of the load during handling. The crane is bolted directly to the trailer frame but is also designed to attach to a tractor's three-point linkage, meaning it can be used as a standalone crane independent of the trailer. Delivery is available by arrangement.
