Portable Hydraulic Elevator Handles Bomber Engine

Item

To facilitate installing, removing and servicing the engines of giant bombing planes, what probably is the largest hydraulic portable elevator, 26 feet high, has been built by Lyon-Raymond. Iron Works, Greene, N. Y. It is equipped with both an elevating boom and removable platform, so it may be used either with or without the platform. A hydraulic hoist powered by a three-horsepower motor elevates the platform and boom, which have a lifting capacity of 5,000 pounds and speed of about 12 feet a minute with maximum load.
