It was essentially a small forwarder. Undriven steer axle, tandem drive axles under the bed. Behind where the operator stood, there was a small log loader/knuckle boom, and behind that was a bed that had the option of dumping from what I recall.
It's certainly a niche product, and it had some unfavorable design characteristics that I recall like the undriven front axle, no suspension/oscillation (that I recall), and generally too narrow and slow to be much good. It was over 10' long.

I remember seeing that at Expo one year. It was VERY clever but expensive and heavy.
