About Timber Crane Trailer from MCM Group+

Every timber crane trailer we supply is selected and specified for tough local working conditions, and backed by in-country parts and service so you are never waiting on an overseas supplier when you need to keep working.
Timber crane trailers are used for a wide range of construction, agricultural and industrial tasks. Whether you are a contractor, farmer, plant-hire operator or municipality, our team will help you match the right machine to your application and budget rather than over- or under-speccing the job.
How to choose the right timber crane trailer
Start with the work the machine will do most often. Matching engine power, operating weight and lift or dig capacity to your typical tasks keeps running costs down and avoids paying for capability you will rarely use. If you run attachments, check the hydraulic flow and coupler type up front, and think about transport — how you will move the timber crane trailer between sites affects which size class makes sense.
Compare the full specification of each model on its product page, then weigh up availability of parts, ease of servicing and resale value. A slightly higher purchase price often pays back through lower downtime and better support, which is exactly where buying a timber crane trailer with a local warranty and a national parts network has the edge over a grey import.

Frequently Asked Questions About Timber Crane Trailers
What is a timber crane trailer?
A timber crane trailer is a specialised trailer equipped with a hydraulic crane for loading, transporting, and unloading logs and timber. It eliminates the need for a separate loading machine, making it ideal for forestry, firewood, and land clearing operations.
How much timber can a crane trailer carry?
MCM timber crane trailers can carry several tonnes of logs per load depending on the model. The built-in hydraulic crane allows one-person operation for loading and unloading without additional equipment.
Can a timber crane trailer be towed by a tractor?
Yes, timber crane trailers are designed to be towed by tractors or suitable vehicles. The hydraulic crane is powered by the towing vehicle hydraulics or its own power unit, depending on the model.
South Africa's timber farming regions — the eastern coastal belt, the Drakensberg foothills and the Western Cape highlands — rely heavily on timber crane trailers for the final extraction and transport leg from processing area to roadside. Self-loading crane trailers eliminate the need for a separate loader or crane at the pick-up point, reducing the number of machines and operators needed for each timber movement.
Crane reach and lift capacity are the primary selection criteria. MCM Group timber crane trailer models have crane reach of 5—8 metres and lift capacities of 2—5 tonnes — sufficient for handling pole timber, saw logs and pulpwood bundles in the plantation conditions typical of South African commercial forestry.
Trailer payload and bogie axle configuration determine how much timber can be carried per load — a direct driver of transport cost per tonne. MCM Group can advise on the optimal combination of crane specification and trailer capacity for your timber species, average log length and haul road conditions.
All timber crane trailers from MCM Group come with full local warranty, hydraulic pump and motor replacement parts and after-sales support from our branches in Cape Town, George, Gauteng and Bloemfontein.
