Konrad Yarders
Konrad's tower yarders for steep ground: the truck-mounted Mounty, the compact KMS on a trailer or tracks, and the Combi Yarder for tracked excavators.
Truck, trailer, tracks or excavator
The Mounty is built on a Mercedes Arocs truck, the KMS on a tandem trailer or, as the KR50-1, on tracks, and the Combi Yarder mounts on a tracked excavator of 16 to 24 tonnes.
