"Rainier" Bunk

Reading edition

This is a Cast Steel Bunk equipped with Cast Steel Chocks held in upright position by means of a lock together with a locking bar extending to the opposite end of Bunk. This bar, instead of being in direct compression as is the case of other Bunks of this type, has the compression stress reduced two thirds by means of the lock. The chock when once tripped can not rebound into position and lock which is a frequent occurrence in certain Bunks now on the market.

This bunk is absolutely Fool-Proof.

The reduction of the strain on the compression rods completely eliminates all possibility of buckling or binding, while the positive locking device does away completely with all danger of bad spills from falling logs.

The "Rainier" Bunk is made of high grade Cast Steel and is a picture of massive strength. It is as positive in its operation and as simply perfect in its mechanical construction as the automatic coupler. It facilitates and expedites the handling of logs, assuring a saving of at least ten cents a thousand and eliminates all possibility of danger to the operator.
