The Miller Incline Truck
The Miller Incline Truck, Platform and Skids end all truck troubles of the printer. No trucks are tied up for every platform is
a truck. By this plan the pile of sheets does not rest on the floor, but on a platform, which in turn rests on skids. The truck-low-
ered - is shoved under the platform, between the skids. Then the crank is given a few turns and as the
top part of the truck is elevated by an incline plane device, it raises the sheets and platform clear of the
skids. It will do this even if the sheets weigh five thousand pounds, which is the small truck's guaranteed
capacity. No exertion is necessary on the part of the workman. The sheets remain in perfect order and
all the man has to do is walk away with the load. The truck is equipped with either round axles, or roller
bearings, so it is easily pulled. When the destination is reached another pair of skids stand ready. A twist
of the crank to the left and the sheets and platform are then deposited safely. Such a change as this can be
made very quickly. The truck is now ready for other work. This truck may truly he said to take the
place of fifty trucks, as it is only a question of having enough skids and platforms
to meet your needs and these, which may be readily constructed and are cheap,
may be placed at convenient positions all over your plant.
The Miller Incline Truck is applicable to every business, where much moving
of wares is done.
There is a fifth wheel plate in front, except on the No. 1, which has a large
size castor. If preferred a truck
may be equipped with all castors
and swivel castors. Prices will
remain the same.
