==Description==
The ''Heavy Forester'' is a [[Star League]]-era LoggerMech designed by [[Högen-Schnögl Industries]]. Innovative for the time, the quad was designed to cut and haul lumber, using heavy duty cargo chains to carry its haul. Högen-Schnögl licensed their design out to small manufacturers for production. [[Achernar BattleMechs]] would later build on the ''Heavy Forester'''s chassis and design to produce the ''[[Heavy Lifter]]''.<ref name=TRO:Ip46/>

==Weapons and Equipment==
The ''Heavy Forester'' carries two [[chainsaw]]s for its work. Dual [[Lift Hoist|lift hoists]] take lumber for the 'Mech's four tons of cargo space. Each leg holds a searchlight, and the cockpit holds an ejection seat. Commercial armor provides some protection.<ref name=TRO:Ip46/><ref name=TRO:Ip116/>

==Variants==
*; HFL-1M ''Heavy Forester'' MOD: This militarized MOD wields dual [[Machine Gun|machine guns]] and [[AC/2]]s, losing the chainsaws, cargo space, searchlights, and ejection seat. One heat sink is added. BV (2.0) = 465.<ref>''Technical Readout: Irregulars'', p. 117: "''Heavy Forester'' HFL-1M LoggerMech MOD"</ref>

==Related 'Mechs==
* ''[[Heavy Lifter]]'': Designed using the ''Heavy Forester'' as a foundation.<ref name=TRO:Ip46/>

==Notes==
The ''Heavy Forester'', introduced as an unnamed 60 ton quad LoggerMech in ''[[Mercenary's Star (novel)|Mercenary's Star]]'', was named in ''[[Technical Readout: Irregulars]]'' as part of the entry for the ''[[Heavy Lifter]]''. Record sheets were included, but no dedicated overview or art for the ''Heavy Forester'' exists.
