Arcata Redwood Company Adds Truck Loading Building

The accent is on customer service in lumber merchandising today. Arcata Redwood Cornpany recently took another irnportant step in this direction with the erection of a building to be utilized solcly by the truck shipping department. All loads can be assernbled, tallied and loaded under cover. Inclement weather is no longer a hazard to shipments of I(iln Dried uppers or Air-Seasoned common lumber as the trucks can now be completely tarped before leaving the building. This aspect is of increasing importance, as West Coast lumber yards place more emphasis on stocking diversified shioments of redwood.

The biilding is 100 ft. by 120 ft. .with an asphalt floor. It is 20 feet to the eaveline, affording adequate height for vertical storage of units arvaiting shipment. The roof trusses were fabricated on the job by the contractors, Tim-Con, Inc., of Richmond, California. Plexiglass skylights brighten the interior. The btiilding is completely protected from fire with an automatic sprinkler system.

The new structure can be serviced by lift truck or straddle carrier directly from the planing mill, or from the supply of finished lumber in the adjacent crane building.

This new building rounds out the shipping facilities at Arcata Redwood Company's Brainard operation and enables them to assure delivery of their products in first-class condition regardless of the lveather.
