Forest and timber

No compromises. When you drive a timber truck, you demand a lot from it. You need a truck that can carry the heaviest loads, maneuver safely and precisely over the toughest terrain, and keep coming back for more every day. Here, you can find the right solutions for your challenges – from reliable timber and wood chipper trucks built for heavy workloads and services to improve uptime, all the way to aerodynamic designs and alternative drivelines to save money and cut emissions.

A truck fit for the job

The loads are heavy and the roads are rough. You need high payload capacity with a robust chassis customized for timber or wood chips and power take-off options for different applications. Plus fuel-efficient options to keep emissions and costs down.

Support when drivers need it

Extreme loads, steep slopes, rough surfaces. Few truck drivers in the world face the same conditions day after day. But great drivers still need support – from crawler gears and steering assistance to accessories that make their truck a better and safer working environment.

Keep your business moving

A great truck and a great driver make a formidable team. But like any great team, you need the best support behind the scenes if you’re going to be at your best. The right workshop services and operational support can help you maximize uptime, productivity, and profitability.

Off the grid and out on the road

Whether your workplace is a forest on the side of a mountain or a wide-open road that stretches beyond the horizon, we have the solutions.

We provide a range of trucks designed for heavy loads that can be fully customized for your needs – from the axle configuration to the chassis tailored for your choice of body.

Keep fuel costs down

You can lower costs – as well as your carbon footprint – with the Volvo FH16 Aero and Volvo FH Aero thanks to their aerodynamic design. You can also explore alternative fuels like biodiesel, HVO, Bio-LNG, or LNG. As well as features like the Tandem Axle Lift to make significant fuel savings when driving unloaded.

Get the right equipment

Whether you are looking to carry timber or operate a wood chipper, our chassis can be tailored to fully meet the needs of body builders. Ensuring you get the right truck with the right equipment and power take-offs.

Putting drivers in control

Forest and timber truck drivers are used to maneuvering extreme loads over rough, muddy, or icy tracks and roads. But why not make their job easier, safer, and more productive?

Our trucks come with transmission and steering support systems that take the strain out of driving, as well as keeping drivers safer. We also offer cab accessories that can make their working and living environment better – especially over longer deliveries.

Volvo offers a range of accessories to make cabs more comfortable and secure – from refrigerators, microwaves, and coffee makers to extra lights that give drivers more security both when working and when resting.
