The Caterpillar Tractor in Modern Lumber Yard Operation

The steadily growing need and demand for increased efficiency in the handling of lumber in large lumber yards, brings into play continually, new methods and modernized equipment never thought of a few years ago.

Witness this scene in the great lumber yard of The Coos Bay Lumber Company, at Bay Point, Calif. This shows a Caterpillar tractor at work. In this particular instance this Cat is equipped with armored front and is pushing 30 cars of lumber weighing 105 tons, and handling the load with ease, speed and efiiciency.

This is a small Caterpillar "Ten" which does great work in this big Coos Bay yard, this concern having come to depend upon these tractors for the economical and efficient handling and distribution of their great output of lumber. Rubber tracks are used on these tractors, as shown, so as to do no damage to the wooden runways. These are especially adapted and constructed for lumber yard use.
