Lumber Shift Chains for the Meadows Spartan 6" Edger, the Trojan 7", and the Hercules 8 1/2"

The Meadows 6" Spartan, 7" Trojan, and the 8 1/2" Hercules are each available with lumber shift chains.  The purpose of the lumber shift chains is to move cants from a jump-transfer onto the table of the edger so that the cant may be positioned in front of the gang of saws.  The vertical movement of the lumber shift chains is controlled by a 5" x 8" air cylinder.  The operator raises and lowers the lumber shift chains by depressing a foot pedal.  The lateral movement of chains is controlled by a hydraulic motor that receives hydraulic flow from the hydraulic system on the edger.  The operator has a toogle switch on the control panel to operate the lateral movement of the chains.
