This used Scania R520 6X4 Epsil is a timber truck — sometimes called a forestry truck or log truck — designed for the hauling and transport of timber from harvesting sites and forests to processing facilities and sawmills. Scania is a globally recognised Swedish manufacturer with a long-established reputation for heavy commercial vehicles, including trucks built for demanding industrial and forestry applications across a wide range of markets.
This 2015 example is powered by a 520 HP (382 kW) Euro 6 engine, placing it among the cleaner and more regulated emissions standards applicable to heavy trucks. The vehicle has covered 825,000 kilometres and is fitted with an automatic gearbox, which has been replaced. A retarder is also fitted, providing additional braking capacity that is particularly valuable when descending steep gradients with a loaded timber body — a common requirement in Scandinavian forestry terrain.
The suspension configuration is air on both the front and rear axles, offering ride comfort and load adaptability across varied road surfaces. The 6x4 drivetrain layout, combined with big axles featuring hub reduction, gives the truck a robust mechanical setup suited to the high torque demands and rough operating conditions associated with timber haulage.
Mounted to the truck is an Epsilon 112 timber crane, used for loading and unloading logs directly from and onto the vehicle without the need for separate lifting equipment. The truck has an overall length of 681 cm, a payload capacity of 16,195 kg, and a gross vehicle weight of 28,000 kg. This unit is located in Älmhult, Sweden, and is offered at an ex-works price of $35,900.
