Resources
Features and benefits
Flexibility and strength for versatile assignments
Compact and agile, our all-round forwarders deliver high productivity with strong transmission and a powerful crane. In other words, they are the ideal choice for both late thinning operations and lighter final felling.
Customise your load space for increased productivity
The Komatsu 855 combines a flexible, customisable load space with smart solutions for smooth, efficient work. Features like height-adjustable stakes also support faster crane work and improved fuel economy.
The transmission for tough conditions
For especially demanding terrain, the Komatsu 855 can be equipped with XT transmission for maximum traction and durability. The powerful bogie with hub reductions is ideal for steep, snowy or wet ground, ensuring productivity in tough conditions.
A more comfortable workplace in the forest
Komatsu forwarders offer a quiet, spacious cab with all-round visibility, ergonomic seat, and optional Comfort Ride suspension for excellent comfort and productivity in the forest.
High production in all conditions
Komatsu forwarders deliver long-term profitability with strong transmission and a powerful engine, ensuring high productivity even in tough terrain and challenging workdays.
Easy to service
Komatsu forwarders simplify maintenance with an electric hood opening 90°, a tiltable cab for easy access, and pumps for hydraulic oil and diesel—making servicing fast and convenient.
Handle timber like a pro
Komatsu grapples deliver high productivity in tough conditions. With a large opening and strong retraction, they grip timber quickly and efficiently. Robust design ensures durability for efficient, profitable work.

Comfort that lasts the whole workday
| A forwarder operator spends many hours a day in the cab, making a pleasant and comfortable work environment extremely important. Komatsu Comfort Ride efficiently dampens jolts and vibrations, ensuring an ergonomic work environment. Komatsu Comfort Ride includes comfort-enhancing features like adjustable sideways firmness and automatic side levelling at standstill and at low speed. The elevated unloading mode also functions at low speed, making it smoother to reposition the forwarder at the landing—welcome features for any forwarder operator. |
Smart Crane - like an extension of your own arm
| Since such a large share of a forwarder operator's working day involves crane operation, increased efficiency offers great potential. Smart Crane provides the operator with advantages such as simpler crane operation, less physical strain and higher productivity. Advantages that benefit both profitability and the operator's wellbeing. Everything to make it as easy as possible for the operator to focus on what is truly important – moving timber to the roadside. |
Smart Forestry
| Smart Forestry gives you access to a collection of digital services that help make the workplace safe, smart, productive and sustainable - whether you have one or a hundred forest machines. You can keep track of your machines, collaborate with colleagues, and make wise decisions based on facts. Smart Forestry consists of three different applications, making it easy for you to find the one that suits you and your business. |
Flex Bunk - Complete flexibility
| Flex Bunk is our flexible bunk system that can be customised to meet your specific needs. The standard version includes fixed stakes and a standard bunk width, but with several options available to allow you to easily tailor your load space. Hydraulically adjustable stakes provide faster crane operations and improved fuel economy. Using the widening kit, the width of the load space can be easily adjusted using the crane as required. |
Automatic gears for efficient forwarding
| Speed Shift is a clever gearbox solution that uses two hydrostatic motors, allowing the forwarder to change gear automatically as speed increases. This enables smooth acceleration across the full speed range without any input from the operator. It helps the engine run efficiently, saving fuel and creating a quieter, more comfortable working environment. Speed Shift also allows for higher travel speeds when ground conditions permit—such as on flat access roads in otherwise hilly areas. The longer the forwarding distance, the greater the benefit. |
