SPEEDY UNLOADING.—An elec- tric industrial truck that goes right into the freight car to take off material. ANY USE.—Electric industrial trucks are con- stantly being developed to fill special needs ana save handling costs. QUICK WORK OF A SHIPLOAD.—A fleet of electric industrial tractors makes rapid work of material handling on this receiving pier. Hundreds of plants electrics that move erie saving money with the unloading. Hundreds of firms are cutting the cost per ton of material by moving it from cars and ships to warehouse-and process with electric industrial trucks and tractors. By keeping material moving steadily from the receiving plat- form, unloading is swiftly and smoothly performed. Demur- rage through delays is avoided. Man hours and cost per ton of material handled are greatly re- duced. A tannery in Chicago, IIl., re- ports an annual saving of $3500 a year through replacing hand labor with electric trucks. In a grocery warehouse at Brooklyn, N. Y., one small industrial elec- tric truck does in 8 hours the same work it would take the reg- ular personnel three days to do. These instances are not un- usual. You may easily be able to better them yourself. It’s worth while studying the problem. When you do, consider the Exide-Ironclad Battery that is do it with industrial more material faster built expressly for hard electric industrial truck service. This battery gives a consistently high voltage for good day-long speed. Its power is tremendous, flowing steadily for usual work or in a sudden rush for extra-heavy loads. The Exide-Ironclad is econom- ical at the charging panel, and its unique positive plate con- struction results in a greatly in- creased battery life. And it is backed by the forty-one years’ experience of the world’s largest manufacturers of storage bat- teries for every purpose. Send for Bulletin 160-R. It gives you some interesting in- formation about the many uses of electric industrial trucks and tractors and the savings you can effect with them.
