The Quick Out Carrier is equipped with f- ««■> n • t 



an improved raising and lowering device. '^' " ^"""^ '• 



The lifting power is secured by a worm gear hoist on the same principle used with the Louden Carriers 

 for solid steel track. The main frame consists of two %.inch pipe shafts held in position by two 

 heavy malleable iron castings. These castings form heavy, substantial sockets for receiving the swivel 

 yokes which carry the wheels. This forms the swivel knee joint connection between the trolleys and 

 main frame of the carrier (where the entire weight of the load is carried) and is one of the important and 

 exclusive points of superiority found on all Louden Litter and Feed Carriers. 



The horizontal pipes stand parallel with each other and 

 about three inches apart. When the carrier box is raised, the 

 bail of the box, which is also of pipe, enters between the two 

 horizontal bars interlocking with them, forming a rigid frame. 

 This prevents any endwise swinging or rocking motion and 

 permits the carrier to be operated automatically a much 

 greater distance than other wire track carriers. 



Hoisting Gear On Quick Out Carrier 



The hoist on the Quick Out Carrier is built on the same 

 principle as the hoisting gear on Louden Carriers for solid 

 steel track. The worm gear gives ample lifting power for the 

 heaviest loads. The box is supported by double chains. The 

 upper ends of the chains are fastened to the two main shafts 

 and the surplus chain winds up on these shafts as the carrier 

 is elevated. Heavy loads can be elevated easily and the double 

 Fig. 883. chains give strong support. 



Special Features of Louden Wire Track Carriers 



The Quick Out Carrier and the Self-Acting Carrier (shown on next page) were designed for use in 

 barns where the work is not so heavy and where the arrangement of track is very simple requiring few 

 switches or curves. These carriers really operate best where the track 

 runs in a straight line. When loaded, a good push will send the carriers 

 out into the yard 60 to 80 feet, where they will empty themselves and 

 return automatically to the barn. The carriers cannot be operated auto- 

 matically around curves or over switches. Where curves and switches 

 are necessary the carrier must always be followed until the last curve or 

 switch is passed and from that point it can be sent out to the end of the 

 track and will automatically return. 



SWIVEL TRUCKS. Both the Quick Out and Self-Acting Carriers 

 are fitted with swivel trucks. This truck frame or supporting frame for
