THE OLD WAY ear Your today’s high ODERN ships, fast trains and speedy motor trucks stand needlessly idle at many docks and terminals while shipments are being transferred by methods that were con- sidered modern 50 years ago. But electric trucks will gear ter- minal handling facilities to today’s high speed transportation. For example, at one marine termi- nal, the cost of handling cased fish was actually 15 cents per ton more than the shipper paid for the service. An Elwell-Parker lift tructor was put on the job and the cost of handling the THE ELWELL-PARKER WAY Freight Handling to speed transportation same shipments was reduced 27 cents a ton, so that a profit of 12 cents per ton resulted. A single Elwell-Parker Tructor carrying one trailer and pull- ing three, transports 16 boxes of fish weighing 500 lbs. each at one trip from warehouse to ship. It previously re- quired 16 men to move the same number of cases, one case at a time. Perhaps similar savings can be made at your terminals. An Elwell-Parker Engineer is ready to study your re- quirements whenever you say and to lay before you the actual figures of the possible results, without obliga- tion on your part. ELWELL-PARKER offers this advantage The power can be applied to the drive wheels be- forethe brake is released. This feature makes it possible to stop and start a fully loaded E-P Truc- tor on a ramp without danger of “slipping back.” Your Safety Committee will appreciate the im- portance of this advan- tage.
