The compact dimensions of the FORCAR F210 (2.5-meters wide),
facilitate access to these pathways.
This also enables the vehicle to be driven on certain public roads and
thoroughfares without the need for special authorisation or escort cars.

This innovative vehicle, with a 15-ton payload capacity, is fitted with an Allison 3000 Series fully-automatic transmission

Spanish company FORCAR (FORESTAL CARDELLE), headquartered in La Coruña, has equipped its forwarders with an automatic transmission for the first time. The FORCAR F210 is a productive vehicle designed for rapid movement on the narrow forest pathways of northern Spain. In addition to other new features, the latest model introduces an important drive train innovation: an Allison fully-automatic transmission equipped with a torque converter, which ensures superior performance and increases safety as compared to manual or hydrostatic gearboxes.
