Vehicles for wood and forestry applications have a tough job: Difficult transport routes and high loads make wood transport an extreme challenge. Off-road wood paths and narrow serpentines mark this particular application.
Added to that are highly varying loads, depending on the type of wood, length, diameter and degree of moisture in the trunks. Powerful, robust and high-torque - MAN trucks for forestry applications offer maximum efficiency.
Unpaved roads, damp ground and sloping terrain characterise transport operations in forestry applications and place high demands on the off-road suitably of the employed vehicles.
For particularly high traction requirements, we recommend permanent or switchable all-wheel drives. If only part of your route covers unpaved ground, the switchable hydrostatic front-wheel drive MAN HydroDrive® is the ideal solution. Depending on the wheel configuration, it is approx. 400 kg lighter compared to the classic all-wheel drive and thus helps to save fuel. Furthermore, various functions of the MAN TipMatic® gearbox also optimise the off-road suitability of your vehicle: as for example the off-road mode, the EasyStart moving-off aid or the rocking-free function.
Depending on the type of wood, trucks for forestry applications can reach gross vehicle lengths in excess of 25 metres. To be able to manoeuvre such loads with ease in a forest environment, it takes a skilled driver as well as a vehicle with maximum manoeuvrability.
Apart from their compact design with short wheelbases, slim driver’s cabs and optional steered trailing axle, MAN trucks come with additional smart functions on board, which significantly increase manoeuvrability. One example is the MAN turning brake, which is a unique feature in this vehicle class. It brakes the rear wheels on the inside of the bend, thus reducing the bend radius and making manoeuvring particularly easy. Wide driver’s cabs and long wheelbases are available depending on the deployment profile.
Since pricing in forestry is based on solid cubic metres and not weight, the maximum number of trunks is stacked on top of each other during transport to the sawmill. This means the vehicles have high load centres, which adversely influence driving behaviour.
By actively adjusting the damping to the respective driving and load conditions, the MAN heavy-duty Continuous Damping Control ensures that your wood delivery does not get out of balance. The MAN construction air suspension with electronically controlled air suspension (ECAS) ensures optimal driving behaviour under all load conditions. It makes it possible to regulate the chassis height and thus makes it easier for you to load and unload the vehicle.
Transporting wood is not only about moving tree trunks from the forest to the sawmill. In many cases, the harvested wood is delimbed or chipped on site. This requires the use of powerful mobile chippers.
For the requirements of modern wood processing, we provide you with a powerful PTO at the transfer case that delivers an unrivalled torque of 8,000 Nm. It is driven by a powerful engine that delivers up to 500 HP and a torque of up to 2,500 Nm. If you want to move large quantities while putting as little strain as possible on the environment, you can also refuel MAN engines with biodiesel.
