    I have never seen that in person but have seen pictures of the car roller before..
    definitely efficient!

    Think the thing that got me the most was relocating the conveyer with a side boom hooked to the rail,, just lift and drag all!!
    looks like a limp noodle!!!
    I have fought with getting belt conveyors that are totally self contained on their own steel frame,, to run right and here that thing looks like a snake and they drag it sideways!! is just amazing it'll run at the speed it does without ending up as a ball of spaghetti !!!

    Got the pleasure of unloading next to this old timer. I wish i could have taken it home. Looked lonely setting there..,, 0306171717c.jpg 0306171717.jpg 0306171717a.jpg When i see a old military machine, it always makes me wonder where and what tha thing might have been a part of.
