This Volvo FH 540 is a used timber truck — sometimes referred to as a forestry truck or log truck — designed to haul and transport timber, long logs, and other forest products over road. Volvo is one of the world's leading manufacturers of heavy commercial vehicles, producing trucks, buses, and construction equipment for industries including forestry, construction, and long-haul haulage. This example is a 2017 model in used condition, located in Poland, and is offered for export at a price of $83,000.
The truck is configured in a 6×4 drivetrain arrangement, giving it the traction and load-bearing capability suited to demanding forestry applications involving uneven terrain and heavy payloads. It is equipped with central lubrication, which automatically distributes grease to the chassis and running gear, reducing maintenance downtime and extending the service life of components that would otherwise require manual greasing.
For load securing and supporting long timber, the truck is fitted with OPTIPA aluminium stanchions — known in the industry as bolsters or bunk posts — which hold logs in place during transport. The aluminium construction keeps the stanchion weight low, helping to maximise the net payload the vehicle can carry within legal limits.
The machine also carries an EPSILON Q150Z loader crane with a reach of 9.6 metres, allowing the operator to self-load and unload timber directly from the vehicle without reliance on external handling equipment. This crane configuration makes the unit a versatile, self-sufficient forestry transport solution. The listing notes that the truck has been freshly imported.
