Jim Backland , BCFP Renfrew Div. One of the few pictures I have come across of the #224 an HDX Hayes . The trailer being unloaded by the #319 a Washington TL 15 combination Log Loader / Yarder . Note the way the Grapple is lifting trailer , as there was still one TL 15 loading with tongs , there were two cable loops , one in front of bunk and one behind bunk to lift the trailer
with tongs . The loaders equipped with Grapples had a hook on each side that we could hang a "D" on ( Mainline side ) the end of a cable "Spreader Bar " with a set of two hooks on the bottom end hook into the two loops on trailer . One time I was a landing Man and had just climbed up on the logging truck trailer which was loaded "Piggy Back" on the logging Truck and had hooked the two loops with the "Lifting Hooks" . As I jumped off the truck to get in the clear , I heard one Hell of a crash above me . When the Loader Operator had started to lift the Trailer the Boom Line had broken and the Loader Boom was lying on the Bunk of trailer . We had to replace the Boom Line before we could unload the trailer .
