This is one of the earlier versions. The later models turned 45 degrees to each side, and had mechanical landing gear, so the could straddle the tracks and run empty cars under their belly with a straw line. Same as the Lidgerwood tower skidders. It appeared that Lidgerwood actually incorporated a McGiffert loader with what I believe was the first portable steel spar, and mounted the whole contraption on train wheels.
Ever seen a McGiffert Loader?
