Large-Volume Tub
A new 15 gallon molded "rubber- fiber", all purpose tub has been introduced by Fortex Industries, Inc., through its sole U.S. and Canadian agents, Fortex Enterprises of 21 West Street, New York, N.Y. 10006.
For large-volume use in- doors or outdoors, this 15 gallon tub is claimed to save time and effort when working with thin to viscous liquids. Called the CR850 its "rubber-fiber" con- struction has many safety factors and can be applied to many industrial uses. The molded "rubber-fiber" construction is crushproof and is easy to clean and main- tain. Molded in one piece, there are no seams to split or corners to trap dirt. It cannot rust, dent, spark or chip, and resists the effects of acids, oils, paint, plaster, chemicals etc. This tub will take continued rough handling, it is claimed, without losing shape and there are no sharp edges or splinters to cause injury. The large 15 gallon capacity is claimed to make an excellent general-purpose tub. Literature and specifications are available from the company.
New Side Pouring Bucket
Century Industries, Inc. has announced a new side pouring spout as an option on their 1-yard Concrete Bucket.
The concrete bucket is a device to move 1 yard of concrete by means of a standard lift truck. Now concrete can be poured from either the left or the right side of the bucket into waiting forms. The standard from dump posi- tion is also available. This added feature enables a fork lift truck operator to run along the side of a form continuously spreading concrete along the inside; thus saving time and money.
Constructed from rugged 3/16 inch steel, the bucket fits onto the forks of any standard lift truck and derives its power from the truck's hydraulic system. When not in use the bucket quickly discon nects to free the truck for other work.
Other bucket features include dual hy- draulic cylinders for double control of the gate and chute, a low center of gravity and one man operation from the seat a fork lift truck.
