Lumber Handling Equipment::Jump Skid Transfer
Jump Skid Transfer
Mellott's Jump Skid Transfer is an economical unit for delivery of lumber to edger or resaw. It also has the capability of allowing lumber to pass over the roll section to other rolls, bypassing the edger.
Remote control is provided for the operator (sawyer or edgerman). A foot switch activates stop gate which halts forward movement of lumber. Transfer chains automatically raise, moving lumber from roll section to transfer. Sequence can be repeated for each piece of lumber or control may be locked in position so that every piece of lumber will be moved by the transfer to the edger.
A remote, fully automatic, self-canceling, push-button control system is available as an option.
The transfer section has its own drive and the roll section can be driven from an optional, drive or from adjacent live roll sections.
