To deliver materials you must have a truck! To deliver materials efficiently, quickly and at a lower cost all you need to do is add a Mobll-Arm boom to your truck. You now have a delivery system that goes wherever your truck goes without decreasing your bed space and does not require towing a lift truck.

At the job site you simply lower the truck stabilizers and start unloading. ONE MAN DOES lT ALL! Reach across ditches, excavations, refuse piles or other obstacles.

The material has to be placed on the second or third floor? ONE MAN DOES lT ALL! fhe MoblbArm boom will reach up to 34-1/2 feet above the ground to deliver material where it is needed.

Reduce your insurance costs, maintenance costs and manpower cosls o Towing lift trucks adds to insurance costs o Only maintenance requirement is lubrication

. ONE MAN DOES IT ALL!

NOTTHIS...

To transport a lift truck you must either sacrifice valuable load space or tow the lift truck. Both of these choices reduce your earnings -smaller loads, towing costs and 2-or 3-man crews to deliver to other than the first floor of a job site.

When the site is muddy, has obstacles or excavations in the delivery area or if the terrain is not level, you can count on losing more time and money with a lift truck.

The maintenance costs of operating a lift truck are high - engine, bearings, tires, hydraulics and more.

Add to your profits by using a Mobll-Arm instead of a lift truck. The labor, maintenance and insurance costs you save are benefits you will receive after making the wise purchase ol a Mobll-Arm. The benefits, however, begin earlierat the time you make the investment in the Mobll-Arm. The purchase cost of a Mobll-Arm is less than that of a lift truck. A dual control unit mounted and installed on your truck is approximately $39,000.00 including freight.

Add up the benefits and see for yourself why you should be using a Mobll-Arm from U. S. Truck Cranes.

Timber Grisis Fighter

The American Forest Resource Alliance, recently formed in Denver, Co., will meet May 3l in Washington, D.C.

The coalition has a twofold purpose. First it will address specific issues involved in achieving full, sustained and predictable utilization of forest resources. Secondly, it will design and carry out actions necessary to resolve these issues.

Pledged to devise strong and effective measures to address the growing nationwide threat to the supply of timber and other forest resources on private and public forest lands, the organization was born in a summit meeting held in Williamsburg, Va., last March. Top executives of forest industry trade associations and their officers resolved to work together "to form a national coalition with our allies" among other resource and forest user groups.

Task force groups are being formed from existing industry associations to examine the possible program initiatives in five areas: litigation, communication, government affairs, grass roots and coalition building and technical support. Expressing concern about the growing implications of continued legal and regulatory restrictions placed on resource management, Barry Cullen, president ofthe National Forest Products Association. said. "The onslaught of these restrictions endangers our industry and the potential we clearly have to supply U. S. consumers with forest products and other amenities."

Fibreboard Acquires Arrowood

Fibreboard Corp., Concord, Ca., has purchased out ofbankruptcy the assets of Arrowood Technologies, Inc., Roxboro, N.C., for $6.3 million.

Thecomposite type product, which will be produced by Fibreboard Technologies Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fibreboard Corp., will be ready for shipment by September of this year.

"Arrowood was very well received by the builders and manufacturers who used the product during 1987," said Fibreboard's Mike Sampson.

"Arrowood is superior to both sawn lumber and the popular wood-lbeam."

Developed in cooperative research between the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Arrowood is a composite structural framing material manufactured principally from hardwood trees. A core of oriented hardwood strands is sandwiched between multiple layers of hardwood veneers. The material, which doesn't bow, twist, cup, crook or shrink, is wane and knot free. The low moisture content (5-70lo) eliminates virtually all shrinking and nail popping.

Meeting or exceeding code standards of BOCA and SBCCI for composite structural framing, Arrowood carries a one year warranty.
