New End looding Attqchment Feqtures Low Overqll Heighr

A new attachment for end handling of lumber designed for working in areas of lolv overhead clearance is currently available on Hyster lift trucks from 6,000 to 15,000 pounds load capacity. The attachment is widely used in retail lumberyards where space is critical, because it enables a lift truck to handle lumber packages from the end.

On the new end-loading attachment, clamping action is achieved by placing a hydraulic cylinder on each side of the attachment's frame. By placing the cylinders in this position, the overall height of the attachment is only 38 inches. Two widths very popular in the lumber industry (42 and 52 inches) are offered at the same price. Maximum vertical opening of the device is 2 feet 8l inches.

A special connecting unit for the end-loading device permits quick mounting and dismounting. By making the end loader easily detachable, the truck can be quickly converted to standard fork-handling applications. A side-shift apron is recommended for the end-loading attachment b-ecause this type of apron permits the load to be moved from side to side for accurate placement.
