Built by Alucar is the quality label of the world's best logging truck

Built by Alucar

When we design and mount the superstructure at the Alucar factory in Maxmo or Rovaniemi, we attach a plate with the text “Built by Alucar” on the truck. It signifies that the best materials and most modern working and manufacturing methods have been applied in the design and assembly.

When Alucar finishes a new timber truck with its own superstructure, the truck always gets the “Built by Alucar” quality label.

The quality label guarantees that the timber truck is completely ready and that all components used in it are state-of-the-art as a result of lengthy product development.

Alucar’s quality label comes from first-class service and the best solutions on the market.

At Alucar’s factory, 100-150 trucks are built each year. The factory is located on the beautiful west coast of Ostrobothnia, in the small and enterprising village of Maxmo.

Complete planning and assembling of a logging truck

Alucar is the only operator in the timber transportation industry to provide a fully operational timber truck. We do all the necessary assembling and even carry out a registration check of the truck before handing it over to the customer. This means that the customer gets the perfect finished truck from us, without having to go to several workshops after installing the superstructure.

Innovative product development

Alucar’s business concept and products are based on lightness combined with durability. This ensures that every timber truck leaving Maxmo is of the highest quality and better productivity for the timber haulier.
