The Ponsse Elephant King is a used forestry forwarder — sometimes referred to as a timber forwarder — dating from 2024 and currently located in Germany. Forestry forwarders are purpose-built machines used to collect felled timber from the cutting area and transport it to a roadside landing, making them a cornerstone of cut-to-length logging operations. Ponsse is a Finnish manufacturer with a long-established reputation for building specialist forest machines, and its forwarder and harvester ranges are widely used in professional forestry across Europe and beyond.
The machine is equipped with a Ponsse K121M crane offering a reach of 10.0 metres, fitted with the Active Crane system and internal hoses. The crane carries an HSP 50HD grapple. This configuration reflects a capable, production-oriented setup suited to demanding extraction work.
Tyres on both the front and rear axles are 750 × 26.5 FKF, reported at 95% remaining tread depth, indicating very low wear consistent with the 2024 model year. The load bunk is a VLA stake bolster frame. A hydraulic headboard is fitted at the front of the bunk.
The specification list covers a broad range of practical equipment. Central lubrication is installed, simplifying routine maintenance. Hydraulic access ladder and a BeGe Air Vent seat are fitted in the cab, alongside air conditioning, a parking heater, and two cameras. Lighting is provided by LED work lights. Radiator protection and gold foil insulation are present. The cab also includes a radio with MP3 functionality.
Supporting fluid management, the machine has both an oil and a diesel filling pump, as well as a vacuum pump. Prior to sale, the machine has undergone a workshop inspection and full service including replacement of all filters and oils. German documentation and software are included, and transport to the buyer's place of operation is offered free of charge.
