This Scania R 560 LB HNB is a used timber truck — sometimes referred to as a log truck — built in 2011 and currently located in Latvia, offered at $28,500. Timber trucks of this kind are purpose-built for the harvesting and haulage of felled timber, transporting logs from forest operations to sawmills, processing plants, or storage yards. Scania is a well-established Swedish commercial vehicle manufacturer with a long-standing reputation in the heavy transport sector, producing trucks, buses, and engines for demanding industries including forestry, construction, and long-haul logistics worldwide.
This example is equipped with a Jonsered 1080 hydraulic loader fitted with an enclosed cabin, making it well suited to self-loading timber operations where a separate loading machine is not required or available. The loader cabin provides operator protection during loading and unloading cycles.
The drivetrain features an automatic Opticruise two-pedal transmission, Scania's automated manual gearbox system that reduces driver workload on long or demanding routes. Hill Hold Control (HHC) provides additional assistance on gradients, automatically holding the vehicle stationary on an incline to prevent rollback during departure. A power take-off (PTO) preparation is also noted, allowing for ancillary equipment to be driven from the driveline.
Lighting provision is comprehensive, with Xenon headlights, LED daytime running lights, and a headlight cleaning system. Safety equipment includes a kerb mirror and wide-angle mirror to improve visibility around the vehicle's extremities. An axle load indicator is fitted, which is a practical aid for staying within legal weight limits when loading timber. The vehicle also includes a telematics system and is noted as a Swedish country-version specification (SE).
Inside the cab, a stationary heater allows the interior to be warmed without running the engine, useful in cold climates such as those typical of Nordic forestry operations. The steering column is adjustable, and Bluetooth mobile phone preparation with speakerphone and a tuner are fitted as standard comfort features. A single 15-pin plug is present for trailer connectivity. Emissions equipment includes an SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) system. The vehicle is described as roadworthy.
