Telephone: 01539 729999

The HSM 208F is a forwarder in eight versions, from 7 t to 20 t payload and the BigFoot for soft ground, with a narrow build on wide tyres, a four- or six-cylinder Volvo Penta engine and a choice of Epsilon or Mesera crane.

Narrow machine, wide tyres
Every 208F stays within 3,000 mm overall width while running on wide tyres, the HSM principle for load capacity and ground protection. The BigFoot runs on 940 mm wide Firestone 54 × 37-25 tyres, which are also an option on the 10 t to 12 t.
