When Alicia and Morgan first arrive at the lumber yard they walk under a shipping crate loader which has a bundle of logs suspended from its forks by some chains, presumably about to be loaded onto the adjacent truck when something interrupted the operator. A lumber mill would never use that type of equipment for loading and unloading logs from trucks, it would take too much time to get chains around the logs and secure them and it would be somewhat dangerous. A front end loader, which has giant grapples mounted on the front that are large enough to wrap around a stack of logs, would be used to load and unload trucks. It would be not only much faster but also safer as well since chains can break or come unfastened.
