Once the trees have been processed into logs, a loader will
help sort, stack and then load out onto logging trucks.
Most loaders are trailer-mounted, although they can also
be track-based for extra mobility on the landing. The grapple
attachment on the knuckle-boom can be fitted with a grapple-saw
to help top and buck the trees, and a heel on the boom provides
stability. The loader is often involved in at least part
of the processing of the logs.
