Marine Travelift Offers 'Mariner7 Forklift Trucks

For Boatbuilding Industry

Marine Travelift, Inc., Sturgeon

Bay, Wis., offers a complete line of negative drop forklift trucks for use in the boatbuilding industry.

The "Mariner" product line of fork- lift trucks consists of three models— the F65 with a 6,500-pound capac- ity, the F150 with a 15,000-pound capacity and the F270 with a 27,000- pound capacity.

The Mariner F65, with its four stage mast, offers 10 feet of negative and 30 feet of positive lift. It has a low overhead clearance, allowing it to move through doorways as low as 15 feet

The Mariner F150 has a full powershift transmission, yielding three speeds for both forward and reverse. Its three-stage mast has 34 feet of positive and 10 feet of nega- tive lift. The F150 has extra-long forks with fabric-reinforced rubber pads to minimize hull marring.

The Mariner F270 has excellent operator visibility of the boat outdrive from the station positioned forward and to the outside. Depend- ing on selection, mast options can yield positive reaches of 40-50 feet.

The F270's adjustable 5 degrees for- ward and 12 degrees rearward mast tilt lend increased boat-handling stability. The carriage may be or- dered with either slide-out or swing- out forks.

Mariner forklifts are backed by

Marine Travelift's extensive net- work of parts and service special- ists.

Celebrating A Century Of Service.

This year marks the 100th Anniversary of a com- pany founded in 1892 by Thomas Crowley. Having saved $80 from his $5-per-week wages, he bought an 18-foot Whitehall rowboat to ferry passengers and cargo in the San Francisco Bay. So began one of the great American success stories. Thomas Crowley built this company with an unwavering philosophy of service to the customer. This vision has endured throughout a century of change.

Under a second generation of leader- ship, Crowley Maritime Corporation has grown into one of the largest, most diversified maritime companies in the world. More than 5,000 Crowley employees provide extensive marine services, including scheduled ocean cargo transportation, specialized tug CEN1ENNIAT ^ 1892 - 1992 ^ and barge contract transportation, ship assist, bunkering/lightering, stevedoring and terminal operations, heavy-lift and heavy-haul services, fuel storage and supply, oil industry support, commuter ferry and tour passenger services, marine salvage, international and domestic oil spill cleanup, trucking and all-terrain land transportation.

One hundred years later, this diverse American company maintains its commitment of meeting its customers' needs by innovative use of equipment, expertise and capabili- ties. Crowley's reputation for providing superior marine transportation and services around the world stems from a simple, time-honored promise: "Anything, anywhere, anytime... on water".
