During the 1920's Leitelt Iron Works expanded
into the dominant local lumber industry. Leitelt employees
designed and built a heavy platform supported by four rotating
corner screw columns, which raised and lowered a load of lumber.
It was the first lumber lift installation in the country.
The original lift designs were refined and became well know
in the lumber and furniture industries. In time, Leitelt expanded
the lumber lift with a line of transfer cars, turntables and
car pullers. Still today, Leitelt lumber handling products
are found throughout the country.
Leitelt maintains records, drawing and some inventory for
replacement components for lumber lifts and transfer cars.
