This Western Star 4900 Timber Truck is a purpose-built logging truck — sometimes referred to as a log hauler — designed to transport harvested timber from forest operations to mills and processing facilities. Western Star is a North American heavy-duty truck manufacturer with a long-standing reputation for building robust vocational and off-highway trucks suited to demanding industries including logging, mining, and construction.
Power comes from a Detroit 12.7-litre Series 60 engine rated at 425 horsepower, paired with an 8LL transmission that provides the range of gear selections needed for loaded operation on varied terrain. The front axle is rated at 20,000 lb and the rear axles at 46,000 lb, giving the truck a substantial gross axle weight capacity appropriate for heavy timber loads. An air-up/down pusher and tag axle configuration adds further load-carrying flexibility, and a pintle hitch with air supply to the rear is fitted for trailer connection. Driver comfort and control equipment includes a Jake brake, cruise control, air conditioning, differential lockers, and an air-ride suspension system.
Mounted on the truck is a Hood S182 loader with a continuous-rotation debris grapple, enabling the operator to load and place timber with full 360-degree grapple movement without repositioning the truck. The bed measures 25 feet 5 inches in length. The debris box inside dimensions are 24 feet 7 inches long, 8 feet 10 inches high, and 7 feet 10 inches wide, providing a well-defined enclosed volume for debris or slash material alongside the timber-handling function.
The truck is offered used, based in Wisconsin, USA, and shows 804,528 miles on the odometer with 17,350 hours recorded. It is priced at $99,500.
