Timber and log trucks based on Volvo FMX chassis

Timber is used everywhere: in construction, paper production, furniture, musical instruments, toys, as fuel, for the production of technical alcohol, acetic acid and much more. To deliver wood from logging sites to factories and warehouses, special equipment is needed — timber trucks and log trucks.

Why it is impossible to transport wood on ordinary transport

Depending on the degree of moisture, timber can have a fairly large weight. In addition, it is often necessary to transport Long Logs that simply cannot be placed in conventional cargo transport. Also, when transporting timber, it is necessary to ensure reliable fixation of logs.

In this regard, the carrier must provide transport specially equipped:

• the presence of U-shaped structures — cones and anti-skid elements is mandatory;
• a protective plate is needed to prevent damage to the cab;
• the width of the truck should be no more than 3.2 meters, and the height-no more than 4 meters;
• transport should allow the location of logs that do not reduce the driver's visibility;
• the design and carrying capacity of the transport should ensure its stability at full load.

All these requirements can be met only by equipment for transporting timber. Among the many manufacturers of heavy trucks, it is important to choose a reliable one that ensures the delivery of goods on time and in proper condition.
