This Ponsse ELK is a used forestry forwarder — sometimes referred to as a timber forwarder — built in 2022 and currently located in Germany. Forestry forwarders are purpose-built machines used to collect and transport harvested timber from the felling site to a roadside landing, carrying the load in a bolster bunk rather than dragging it. Ponsse is a Finnish manufacturer with a strong reputation in professional forestry equipment, producing a range of harvesting and forwarding machines for demanding timber operations worldwide.
The machine is fitted with Nokian FKF F2 tyres measuring 710 × 26.5 on both the front and rear axles, reported at 95% remaining tread across all positions — indicating very low wear. The crane is a Ponsse K90+ with a reach of 10.0 metres, equipped with internal hose routing and the Active Crane system for smoother, more precise load handling.
The specification list is extensive. A central lubrication system is fitted, along with a hydraulic front gate, a variable bunk extension with a fifth stanchion, and fill pumps for both oil and diesel. Further equipment includes a vacuum pump, a cab pre-heater (Standheizung), air conditioning, radiator protection, and LED work lights. A hydraulic ladder provides safe cab access, and the operator's seat is a BeGe AirVent unit with ventilation. A reversing camera assists with manoeuvring, and the cab is also specified with gold foil glazing, a radio with MP3 functionality.
The machine has been through a workshop inspection with a full service including all filters and oils replaced. German documentation and software are included, and transport to the buyer's site of operation is offered free of charge.
