Transport price

How much does
transport of forestry tractors?

The price of transporting a forest tractor depends on six factors. Forest machines are heavy, often with oversized tires and cranes that determine the dimensions in the transport position. Send model and route — price with no hidden costs.

01

Model, type and mass — forwarders, harvesters and skidders

A compact wheeled skidder up to 10 tons is a different transport than a Ponsse Bear harvester (20 tons) or a John Deere 1910G forwarder (22 tons). Tracked models require a lowbed and special pins to secure the tracks. Each model carries a different trailer and route calculation.

02

Crane and grapple

Forestry machines have a hydraulic crane — a harvester head or grapple. For transport, the crane must be lowered to the lowest position and locked. The crane arm in the working position can be 8–12 m high — lowered for transport: 2.5–3.5 m above the ground. The height of the crane in the transport position directly determines the category and cost of transport.

03

Low pressure tires (flotation)

Forestry tractors have extra wide flotation tires (width 600–900 mm, diameter up to 1.5 m) that reduce ground pressure in the forest. These tires increase the overall width of the machine on the trailer — sometimes over 2.55 m, which requires special permits.

04

Route — Scandinavia, the Baltic and all of Europe

The price per kilometer varies by country and infrastructure. Finland and Scandinavia → Balkans is a different calculation than Germany → BiH or Austria → Croatia. Forest machines are often bought in Scandinavia where the forestry industry is developed — that route is our daily business.

05

Access to download location

Forestry machines are usually located in difficult locations — forest roads, sorting centers, logging areas. A lowbed truck cannot enter the forest. We coordinate that the machine is taken to an accessible location for loading — flat and long enough for a ramp. We apply the same principle with dump trucks and mining machines in inaccessible locations.

06

Delivery time

We organize standard transport within 24–48 hours. During the logging season (autumn and winter), we recommend booking in advance. For emergencies — pick-up within 24 hours with priority organization.

Before transport

Preparing the forestry tractor
for transport

Five steps that make loading faster and transport safer.

  • 1

    Lower and lock the crane into transport position.

    The hydraulic crane must be in the fully lowered and locked position. The harvester head or grapple must be attached separately or mounted securely at the end of the crane. A crane that can move during transport causes damage to the machine and trailer.

  • 2

    Check the dimensions with the crane support

    The overall height of the machine with the crane lowered is different from the height of the machine itself without the crane. We always measure the height with the equipment in the transport position — not the technical data from the catalog.

  • 3

    Fuel max. ¼ tank capacity

    It reduces the total mass and facilitates customs measurements when crossing the border.

  • 4

    Secure the articulated chassis

    Articulated forest tractors have a front and rear chassis that are articulated. For transport, the joint must be locked with a special safety lock or chains — without this, the rear part of the chassis can turn during transport.

  • 5

    Loading location — flat surface, min. 20m

    The lowbed truck needs a flat, hard surface of at least 20 m in length to lower the ramp and maneuver. A logging site is not an adequate loading location — we coordinate to have the machine taken to a forest sorting yard or hard road.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you
need to know

How much does it cost to transport a forest tractor from Scandinavia?
Trošak transporta kotaškog forvardera, harvestera ili drugog šumskog traktora iz Finske, Švedske ili Norveške prema Balkanu zavisi od modela, dimenzija i mase stroja, tačne lokacije preuzimanja, odabrane relacije, potrebnih dozvola i uslova na transportnoj ruti. Kod težih i širih mašina mogu biti potrebni dodatno planiranje rute i posebna transportna oprema. Pošaljite upit za transport šumskog traktora s modelom, dimenzijama, masom i relacijom kako bismo mogli pripremiti preciznu procjenu.
How much does it cost to transport a forest tractor from Germany or Austria?
Trošak transporta šumskog traktora, forvardera ili harvestera iz Njemačke ili Austrije zavisi od modela, dimenzija i mase stroja, tačne lokacije preuzimanja, odabrane relacije, potrebnih dozvola i uslova na transportnoj ruti. Kod većih, širih ili težih šumskih mašina mogu biti potrebne posebne dozvole, pratnja i odgovarajuća transportna oprema. Pošaljite upit za transport šumskog traktora s modelom, dimenzijama, masom i relacijom kako bismo mogli procijeniti konkretne zahtjeve transporta.
How to transport a harvester or forwarder with a crane?
The hydraulic crane must be fully lowered and locked in the transport position. The harvester head or grapple at the end of the crane must be attached separately or securely mounted at the end of the crane in the transport position. The overall height of the machine with the crane down is 2.8-3.5m for most models — check this in advance as it determines whether permits are required.
Can a lowbed truck come to the logging location?
As a rule, no — a lowbed truck has low clearance and is not suitable for forest roads, slopes and soft terrain. For loading, a flat, hard surface with a length of min. 20 m. We coordinate that the machine is taken to the forest sorting area, hard forest road or public road before loading. We always ask for a description of the location in advance.
Does the articulated chassis need to be locked for transport?
Yes — mandatory. All articulated forest tractors (forwarders, harvesters, skidders with articulated chassis) have a special safety lock or chain to lock the front and rear of the chassis in a flat position for transport. Without a locked joint, the rear end can rotate on the trailer, causing damage to the tires, trailer and machine.
Do flotation tires increase the width for transport?
Yes — flotation tires on forestry tractors (width 600–900 mm) increase the overall width of the machine on the trailer. Forwarders and harvesters with the widest tires can be 2.6–3.2 m wide on a lowbed. All dimensions above 2.55 m require special permits for extraordinary transport in each transit country. We organize permits immediately upon order confirmation.
From which countries do you most often transport forestry tractors?
We most often organize the transport of forest machinery from Scandinavia (Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark), Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic to Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia and the rest of the Balkans. Scandinavia is the heart of the European forestry industry — this route is our daily business.
How long does it take to transport from Scandinavia to the Balkans?
Transport from Finland or Sweden to Bosnia, Serbia or Croatia takes 4-7 working days depending on the destination. From Norway: 5–8 days. For oversized machines requiring permits: 8–14 days total. In the harvesting season, we recommend booking in advance.
Is the forestry tractor insured during transport?
Yes — every transport is covered by a CMR bill of lading. For high-value harvesters and forwarders (new machines, special configurations), we organize additional cargo insurance according to the declared value of the equipment.
Do you carry Ponsse, John Deere, Komatsu Forest and Eco Log?
Yes — we transport all brands of forestry machinery: Ponsse, John Deere, Komatsu Forest, Eco Log, HSM, TimberPro, Valmet, Timberjack, Tigercat, Logset, Rottne, Vimek, Franklin, Bell Forestry and all others. We evaluate each machine according to its actual dimensions and weight — the brand is not crucial, the dimensions and crane are crucial.
Why choose Stronmet

Common mistakes
in transport
forestry tractors

Here is what happens when you choose the wrong carrier — and how Stronmet prevents each of these problems.

✕

Crane not locked — damage while driving

The carrier loads the machine without checking whether the crane is locked in the transport position. During the journey, especially on curves or uneven roads, the crane shifts and hits the side of the trailer or truck. Damage to the crane and hydraulics costs more than the transport itself.

✓

Stronmet checks all details. We always check that the crane is locked and photograph it in the transport position before departure. We document every shipment.

✕

Articulated chassis is not provided

The joint between the front and rear of the chassis is not locked. During transport, the rear part rotates slightly. The tires rub against the trailer frame, the tire is damaged, the trailer is damaged. Penalty at the border because the cargo is not properly insured.

✓

Every loading process is photographed and documented. Standard procedure for every loading of an articulated vehicle includes checking and locking the articulated joint. We don't leave without it.

✕

Loading in an inaccessible location

The hauler arrives at a logging location where the lowbed is physically unable to maneuver. It returns empty. The client pays to leave, the deal falls through, the logging season is delayed.

✓

We always ask for a description and photo of the loading location in advance. If the location is not accessible — we advise an alternative loading location before we leave.

✕

Unexpected costs on the invoice

Agreed transport price — but the invoice arrives with “additional costs” you were not aware of. Fuel, tunnels, waiting time during loading, “administration”. The final bill is 30–50% higher.

✓

Price agreed in advance — that is the price on the invoice. No fine print, no additional costs. Everything included in the calculation is communicated to you before transport confirmation.

Stronmet eliminates each of these risks — with one single contact.
