Over 1,000 pounds lighter in weight-an obvious advantage which is recognized by all loggers-the new Hyster logging arch announced recently is meeting all claims made for it by its maker, the Hyster Company, Portland, Oregon, and Peoria, Illinois.

Utilizing tubular construction, the new unit has the same load capacities and rigid strength as tl-re former Hyster D8 A-frame Arch. The streamlined design has less tendency for hang-ups against trees and stumps. The fairlead is of new design. The main roll is larger in diameter to give increased cable life. The unit is equipped with a top horizontal roll to make easier yarding from hill sides above the road and out of "cold decks."
