This Volvo FH13 500 is a used timber truck — also known as a forestry truck or log truck — built to transport harvested timber, long logs, and raw forest material from cutting sites to processing facilities. Volvo is a well-established Swedish manufacturer with a long history of producing heavy commercial vehicles, trucks, and specialist working machinery for industries including forestry, construction, and logistics.
This 2011 example is described by the seller as being in very good to exemplary condition, with a full set of new tyres fitted across the vehicle. The truck is mounted on leaf springs and is equipped with an automatic gearbox, making it well suited to the demanding, variable terrain commonly encountered in forestry operations. A retarder is also fitted, providing additional braking capability on steep descents — a particularly valued feature when the vehicle is carrying heavy timber loads.
The body and superstructure is a TCS build, purpose-configured for timber carrying. Mounted on the vehicle is an EPSILON S260L crane, enabling the truck to load and unload timber without requiring separate handling equipment at the point of collection — a significant practical advantage in remote forestry locations.
The truck is currently located in Poland and is offered for sale at $34,460.
