The Reversible Sling Carrier is a 

 strong, dependable carrier built to 

 operate on 4x4 wood track. In the 

 illustration the carrier is shown with 

 parallel sling pulleys rigged triple 

 draft. 



The mechanism of the carrier is 

 very simple and compact. There is 

 a double rope lock, each lock having 

 a long bearing surface on the rope. 

 When the load is elevated, and the 

 sling pulleys strike the trip stirrup, the 

 rope locks go into action holding the 

 load secure. There is no chance for 

 the load to slip back and wear on the 

 rope is reduced to a minimum. 



The Carrier is fitted with eight 

 track wheels. The wheel arms are 

 heavy and strong and will not spread 

 under the weight of heavy loads. 



The Trip Blocks are adjustable. 

 Two or more trips can be used on the 

 same track and as many of them as 

 desired can be lifted up to allow the 

 carrier to pass through. The frame 

 of the carrier is of the straight reversi- 

 ble (not swivel) type. To reverse the 

 carrier for work in the opposite mow, 

 the draft rope is pulled through the 

 carrier. The end of the rope at D is 

 carried through pulley at end of barn 

 and from there, on down to the horse 

 or team. The other end of the rope 

 is fastened in the eye, A, in the sling 

 pulley.
