Si M -V' i f I BIG LIFT Recently installed at a Portland grain elevator is this truck hoist designed to rapidly unload bulk grain from trucks which has previously been impracticable due to length of time necessary to unload by hand. (Photo by Carl Vermilya, The Oregonian.) By Ted Wagoner Staff Writer, The Oregonian Imagine 3.3,000 pounds of truck and trailer equipment loaded wilh 40,000 pounds of drain held in midair at a 35-de-gree angle to the ground and you have a rough idea of what a hy draulic truck loading hoist will do. Now, of course very few people have occasion to hold 73,000 pounds of anything in mid-air at an angle for any length of timo, but consider what a boon it must be to the fellow faced with the prospect of unloading all that wheat by hand.

Lleuallen and Son farm in Adams Oregon, was unloaded. Further more when they become more familiar with the hoist, they hope to complete unloading with in 8 to 10 minutes. It seems that somewhere and at sometime someone figured out that grain would flow freely from a 33-degree angle. Thus it follows that if lifting a truck up In the air to a 35-degree angle, the grain will flow into a hopper below. Naturally there are a few hours deJay between such a theory and constructing the hy draulic hoist and that is where the Pacific Coast Engineering company of Alameda, California, ETr3 T? fri New Subscription Rates For Out-Of-County Subscriptions Effective January 1,1952.
