Among the modern facilities for taking care offarm produce, the horse hay-fork suspended bytackle from an elevated beaiu in the barn deserves Fig. 2531.. Ha}/-Hoisting Ar>paratits. a special mention. For the varieties of the fork, see FoKK. This device is usually suspended bytiickle from the beam by means of a clutch or tongs.(See Clutch.) The clutch, however, is not the onlymeans of suspending the tackle and fork ; in stack-ing hay a derrick is used, and in some barns a stillmore complicated device. When the load hasreached its elevation, a pawl is raised which allowsthe carriage to traverse on the track and transportthe load horizontally and return when the load isdischarged. The brake moderates the rate of thehoisting-rope in running over the pulleys.
