As a kid back in Ohio our local elevator had a lift somewhat similar to the pictures, except that it had a sort of hook arrangement that fastened on the front tires of the wagon or truck. No boards under the wheels. One of the larger farmers had a wagon made out of a short semi trailer, probably held about 300 bushels. He had a big load on it and when they tried to dump it they tore the lift rails right out of the wood beams in the old mill. Nobody dumped any grain for a few days after that! When a wagon was up in the air the tongue would drop and someone would have to "walk" the tongue out from under the wagon to keep it from holding everything up in the air. No OSHA in those days, just a whole bunch of common sense, and noone ever got hurt. The old mill was built in the early 1900's and hauling a load of grain to town, waiting in line with everyone else was social experience. Sometimes we left everything set outside in line until morning when the elevator got behind.
