How should timber trucks be compared?
On a timber truck, chassis, subframe, bunks, load restraint and any crane form one system. Engine output matters, but trip economics also depend on body tare, axle-load distribution, legal combination mass and loading time.
What should actually be compared?
Transport configuration: state timber lengths, axle count and spacing, driven axles, transmission, retarder and ratios. A mainly road-going vehicle has different needs from a truck regularly entering forest roads.
Body: inspect subframe material and condition, number, type and adjustment of bunks/stakes, headboard, lashing points and tensioning system. Repairs around bunk mountings matter more than paintwork.
Crane: when fitted, include its mass and stabilisers in the payload calculation. Compare load chart, outreach, mounting and stowed position, grapple, rotator and controls.
Documents: registration data, permitted masses and axle loads, dimensions, body conversion/approval, crane inspections and ownership must cover the vehicle being sold, not only its base chassis.
How should a used listing be checked?
From cold, check engine, air system and starting; on the road test, transmission, clutch, retarder, locks, steering and braking. Inspect the frame behind the cab and around axles, suspension, hubs, tyres and corrosion. Examine bunks, mountings and load-restraint mechanisms closely. Test the crane separately with warm oil. Compare ECU and tachograph records with the odometer and history.
Information to request from the seller
Request VIN, first-registration date, mileage, crane hours, actual ready-to-use tare, permitted masses and axle loads, axle layout, body and crane specifications. Obtain repair, inspection and test documents, tyre details, the included equipment list, and confirmation whether a trailer forms part of the sale.
