Can be applied to any type of Logging Truck or Flat Car. Indestructible
in service. No repairs. Weight approximately 1300 lbs.
The Chock Block attachment is simple in construction, easily adjusted
and quick and positive in operation.
When Chock Blocks are in position against logs and grab hook applied,
the load is secure.
[Illustration: Steam Hammer]
To unload, the grab hook is removed and the movement of the log slides
chock block over end of bunk as illustrated in figure. The chock block
on opposite end is readily adjusted to the position desired.
The men are never required to get on the unloading side of car. In flat
car service the cost of all wooden stakes and blocks is eliminated, a
saving alone in one year more than the cost of the Hercules Bunks.
Flat Cars can be unloaded in a fraction of the time, with absolutely no
danger to employees, and the strain on car body reduced to a minimum,
thereby increasing the life of the car.
When applied to flat cars a steel channel is substituted for the I-beam.
It is especially adapted for use on our Connected Trucks, and patents
have been granted covering its application to this class of car.

and Canada and is manufactured exclusively by

"Hercules" Patent Cast Steel Logging Bunk
[Illustration: Bolt Threader]
This illustrates one of the improvements in our Hercules Bunk, and some
of the advantages are herein set forth.
Strength is more than doubled; there is no record of a failure of this
Cast Steel Bunk.
Will not deflect under greatest load. Consequently there is always
side bearing clearance, and danger of derailment from this cause is
eliminated.
Ends are alike so that Chocks may be arranged to operate from either
side.
Interchangeable with "Hercules" double I-Beam Bunk.
These Cast Steel Bunks are made for both Logging Trucks and Flat Cars.
The weight of this Bunk for Logging Trucks in 9 foot length is 600
pounds each, and in 10 foot length is 675 pounds each. For Flat Cars
the weight is 525 pounds each. This invention is protected by Patents
