Packing to Storage and Shipping Heavy Cases The use of extra wide and heavy push-bar elevatorsfor handling heavier packages has been increased in recentyears by improvements in design and in the automatic load-ing and discharge features. Such an elevator may beloaded practically automatically from any intermediatefloor by means of adjustable loading plates. Similarly,these elevators are sometimes designed to discharge at in-termediate floors through openings in the bed, made byremoving or lowering adjustable sections of the , this method of discharge applies mainly to fairlyuniform and regular packages of lighter weight. Because of the greater wear on the sliding surfaces inelevating heavy packing cases, it is advisable to use eitherrollers or heavy sliding strips in the runway bed. Like-wise, because of the weight of the packages, the entireframe should be specially braced. Heavy-type push-barsand roller chains are usual. In handling the larger pack-.

Where intermediate floor loading pointsare used, they must be designed with special care, andwith regard to quick adjustment and easy accessibiHty.
