This series of front end wheel loaders – models FM955 through FM988 – is specifically configured for log grapple operation in forestry, wood yards, and sawmill applications. Rated loads range from 5,000 kg to 8,000 kg, with operating weights increasing from 16,200 kg to 28,500 kg to provide stability when lifting and swinging timber loads. Bucket capacities (for reference when swapping to a bucket) range from 3 m³ on smaller models up to 7 m³ on the FM988.

All models are powered by Weichai diesel engines. The FM955, FM956, and FM958 use the WD10G220E23 producing 162 kW at 2,200 r/min. The FM968 steps up to the WD10G240E21 with 175 kW. The FM978 and FM988 use the WD10G270E201 producing 199 kW at 2,200 r/min. This power progression ensures each model has adequate hydraulic flow and torque for its respective lift capacity.

Overall dimensions vary by size class. Length spans from 7,600 mm to 9,100 mm, width is consistently between 3,000 mm and 3,210 mm, and height ranges from 3,350 mm to 3,780 mm. The larger machines feature proportionally wider wheelbases and heavier axles to handle the higher rated loads and longer log grapple reaches.

When equipped with a hydraulic log grapple instead of a standard bucket, these wheel loaders become versatile timber handlers capable of sorting log decks, unloading trucks, feeding mills, and stacking processed wood. Their wheel loader DNA provides higher travel speeds between work areas compared to dedicated forestry cranes, making them ideal for wood yards that require both loading and site mobility.
