My guess is, it's a log unloader made by LeTourneau. They can lift a full 50 ton load of tree length logs off of a truck and trailer.
Don't let my wild guesses influence your fact finding, Skull.

Sorry Skull, for the confusion. I thought he was talking about the light green thingie off to the side of the truck in the first picture.

Before I moved out here about 30 years ago, I lived in a small town with a volunteer fire dept. They had a LaFrance fire truck..it was a 28. The fire station was on the Mt Plymouth end of town. They could fight fires if the fire was west of the fire house. If the fire was east of the fire house, they couldn't make it up the hill...
