This used Volvo FHX4 L is a timber truck — sometimes called a logging truck — a specialised heavy vehicle built to transport freshly harvested logs and timber from forest operations to sawmills or processing facilities. Volvo is a long-established Swedish manufacturer of heavy commercial vehicles, widely recognised in the trucking, construction, and forestry industries for producing robust, high-capacity equipment suited to demanding working environments.
This example was manufactured in October 2013 and is offered in used condition from Älmhult, Sweden, priced at $32,900 on an ex-works basis. At the time of listing the odometer reads 1,220,000 kilometres, reflecting extensive working life on the road.
Power comes from an engine rated at 552 kW, meeting the Euro 5 emissions standard. Drive is transmitted through an automatic gearbox, which was replaced along with the clutch approximately 150,000 kilometres ago, providing some assurance of remaining service life in the drivetrain. A retarder is fitted, an important feature on a heavy timber truck that supplements the brakes on long downhill runs under full load. Suspension is air on both the front and rear axles, helping to absorb the stresses of loaded forestry terrain and road haulage.
The truck is equipped with a LOGLIFT 96 loader crane, manufactured in 2016 and therefore three years newer than the truck itself, used to load and unload timber without the need for additional handling equipment at the roadside. Tyres are reported to be approximately 70% remaining.
Overall dimensions and capacities place this in the heavy-duty segment: the vehicle measures 1,065 cm in length, carries a maximum payload of 14,020 kg, and has a gross vehicle weight of 29,000 kg.
