Forwarder
A forwarder is a forestry vehicle used to gather, load, and carry pre-cut logs to a loading area for larger trucks to haul. It is a six- to eight-wheel articulated all-wheel drive machine equipped with a hydraulic loader and timber grapple to load the logs onto its trailer, or bunk.
It carries big felled logs from the stump to a roadside landing. Unlike a skidder, a forwarder carries logs clear of the ground, which can reduce soil impacts but tends to limit the size of the logs it can move. Forwarders are typically employed together with harvesters in cut-to-length logging operations
