Low Maintenance Deck

Deck Wood is a new pressure treated wood product from J.H. Baxter & Co.

With proper installation, it reportedly provides a maintenance free service life for both above ground or in ground applications. The preservatives used in the pressure treating are leach resistant and prevent attack by insects and decay.

Deck Wood is recommended for all outdoor home projects such as fences, decks and retaining walls. It can be installed in hot, freezing or rainy weather.

For patio decking it is sold only in 2x4 and 2x6 high grade appearance lumber which can be painted or stained to match a color scheme or left natural to age to a driftwood grey.

Other materials required to complete a deck such as timbers and support posts are available in common framing grades, also Pressure treated.

Called the TubeWorks, it includes round and square tubes in three sizes (3/t" , l" and lV+") and two lengths (3'and 6').

The system consists of a basic connector with an integral post and additional posts that can be screwed on as needed.

KeeponTrucking

Particularly applicable to the retail lumber and building materials market is a new lift truck series, the XL from Hyster Co.

The 4,000, 5,000 and 6,000 pound capacity internal combustion trucks are equipped with 4-cylinder, overhead valve engines, available in either gasoline or LPG configurations. A high precision leaf chain hydraulic pump drive eliminates the need for an external shaft or belt. The engine block extends below the crankshaft centerline for added strength with cushioned engine mounts to absorb power train vibration.

A diesel engine is available with indirect fuel injection, swirl-type combustion chamber and a gear-type hydraulic pump drive.

The series uses a single-speed powershift transmission. A high performance torque converter is matched to the engine and transmission for low-speed gradeclimbing or speed on long runs.
