Special Forks f o r Handling
Cylinders
Modified Yale & Towne Model H4P hand-lift pallet trucks are used to handle cylinders weighing more than a ton and a half at Moreland Chemical's Spartanburg, S. C., plant. The cylinders, which measure 30 in. in diameter and 82 in. long, had previously posed a real handling problem. Special forks on the truck form an inverted V which serves to cradle the cylinder when forks are raised. In picking up a cylinder, truck is maneuvered so that forks straddle it. A multistroke hydraulic lift raises the forks 4 in., cradling the cylinder and lifting it off the floor for transit Η1

• Storage rack for drums offered by Star Welding is designed to raise drum spouts to pouring heights or for stor age. Unit is all-steel welded construc tion and is capable of supporting a fully filled 55-gal. drum. Η2 • electronic batching system for con tinuous process industries offered by Thurman Machine's Scale division is adaptable to either accumulative or consecutive weighing. Controls may be set to weigh one batch, any specific number of batches, or for automatic continuous batching. System is also unlimited in number of materials which may be batched in one formula. Η3 • industrial batching scale offered by Richardson Scale is designed for weighing hot materials in high-tonnage quantities. Key features of scale in clude heavy-duty construction, weigh hopper of 25-cu.-ft. capacity, dust-tight housing covering entire scale, sepa rately housed controls, and 3 / 8 -in. steel plate contacting material being weighed. Company says scale has demonstrated accuracies of 0 . 1 % at operating speeds of five weighings per minute. Η4 • Electric

4000-lb. capacity will stack in as little as a 56-in. aisle. Developed by Yale & Towne, the truck, designated RL-4, has three forward and three reverse
speeds. A two-position speed control lever and controls for hoisting and lowering loads are located for finger tip control. A safety type foot o p erated brake cuts off power and a p plies brake when operator leaves t h e truck. Platform widths are 19, 24, and 26 in., with lengths of 36, 42, 48, 54, and 6 0 in. Η 5 • Rider-operated stacker with a re tractable mast and fork assembly is a new development of Automatic Transportation. Designed especially for tiering and detiering in aisles as narrow as 6.5 ft., t h e E S R T Transveyor features a retractable fork and mast assembly which extends and re tracts 36 in, and can carry 4000 lb. with pallets u p to 48 in. in size. Fork and mast assembly is an integral part of truck which extends a n d retracts within t h e truck frame. Other features are center pivoted steering and driv ing axle, eliminating frame distortion and uneven load distribution; and onehand control grouping. Η 6 • Conveyor

ease of maintenance and long service life on conveyor installations where ordinary steel or wood-type bearings will not give satisfactory service. H 7 • Clark Equipment has redesigned its electric Stoway stand-up type, end-con trol fork truck to include easier steer ing, more efficient hydraulic control of lifting and tilting mechanisms for smoother handling of fragile loads, and positive hydraulic braking for in creased safety and improved mainte nance accessibility. H8 • Section b a g conveyor offered by Stephens-Adamson is a heavy duty unit designed for handling bags, boxes, and cartons. It is offered in 18- or 24-in. belt widths with standard 20-ft. inter locking sections. Drive units are equipped with tail shaft mounted sprocket for powering driven units. Ends of carrying rollers on conveyor are spun to form smooth radius. Roll ers turn in precision ball bearing units protected b y noncorrosive labyrinth seals. Standard roller spacing is 16 in., but decking is punched for variable spacing to meet j o b requirements.
