Demonstrating prototype logging boom
Title
Demonstrating prototype logging boom
Description
3 of 8 of a series of photographs showing a prototype boom unloading logs from a logging truck at Gales Peak Lumbermill. In this picture the boom is positioned over the logs on an International Harvester logging truck. A log is being removed from the truck. This picture demonstrates how the underside of the boom can control the log and keep it from swinging. This boom, produced by Wallace Dozers in Forest Grove, became the “Heel Boom” known throughout the Northwest for its advantages over older style booms in loading and unloading logging trucks.
