Mills updated to cut pine, hardwood easily

Article Abstract:

Tolleson Lumber Company has installed a Progress Industries electric crane. The 20-ton crane can stack 2 million bd ft on its semi-circular storage deck. Concentrating log storage within the crane's radius also reduces the area over which debris is created. The six-cord grapple closes in 18 seconds and empties a trailer in two trips. Crane reach is 125 ft and the hoist is powered by a 100-hp motor.
