Something New in Builder's Plants

A TWO-WAY HOIST

One would have thought there was not much in the matter of handy derricks we could be taught, yet the fact remains that the Sasgen Derrick Co. has found it.

' We have seen some of them, and can speak with pleasure upon the work done. Being made of steel their lifting power is great and their portability renders them suitable for all classes of work. They can be operated by either hand or power. Our photograph shows one in use at the Westport Coal Co.’s new building Taranaki Street Wellington, and the contractor Mr. Lamb says it saves him a man a day—rather a good investment. When dismounted and boxed it covers about 10 cubic feet. It is a derrick for all men and all purposes.
