English term or phrase: yarder

"A yarder is piece of logging equipment which uses a system of cables to pull or fly logs from the stump to the landing."
Is there a common name for that machine in Hebrew?
Thanks

מנוף עצים או עגורן עצים

Explanation:
According to the description you provided, it seems that rather than being "a piece" of equipment, it is "heavy equipment" for lifting and moving logs. It has a crane and pulleys to achieve this.
Links to a couple of pictures added.
It seems to me that leaving it in English, only in Hebrew letters, doesn't explain what it is.
