Brick reports the Iowa Equipment Co introduces a back transfer barrow for Grier products. It claims unique one wheel design allows workmen to move anywhere a standard one-wheel barrow would go, without tracks and with easy operation and balance, reducing tipping risk.
A new brick handling barrow carries 60 to 80 bricks. It uses a footed pallet and arm pivots to lift the load, place it precisely, and return empty with minimal effort and time loss. The older method needs three workers to move and load, while the kiln process requires two wheelers and one setter for the same brick work.
The brick flow on the new bar row reduces breakage and labor. One worker loads pallets, another wheels and stacks them in the shed, cutting required handling. For kiln transfer 15 000 bricks take 10 hours with two workers. At one plant 7 hours saved daily in labor. Barrow turns in tight spaces avoiding truck backing. In use at several clayworks with high satisfaction. For details contact the company.
