Demonstrating prototype logging boom

Title

Demonstrating prototype logging boom

Description

2 of 8 of a series of photographs showing a prototype boom unloading logs from a logging truck at Gales Peak Lumbermill. In this picture the boom is positioned over the logs on an International Harvester logging truck. A man is standing on the top log positioning the grappling hook to ready for unloading the log. Another man is removing the tiedown chains from the load. There is a 1953 or 1954 Ford pickup in the background. This boom, produced by Wallace Dozers in Forest Grove, became the “Heel Boom” known throughout the Northwest for its advantages over older style booms in loading and unloading logging trucks.
