Well I found a couple more of these old school overbuilt but not over engineered pieces of industrial beauty in an old mill in Clinton Mass.

Here are some of my old posts with dates on our love affair with these carts-

We Added A “New” Old Fairbanks Cart To The Captain Joe’s Family

Posted on August 1, 2018 by Joey Ciaramitaro

At the dock there are a couple of key pieces of equipment.  The winch, the forktruck, the scales and the carts.  Any one of these go down and we’re in serious trouble.  We rely on them to work day in and day out.  In the worst of all conditions.

You know how the fishing industry is the second most dangerous profession in the world behind coal mining?  Well it might be the second most dangerous profession but handling saltwater fish is absolutely the deadliest profession for machinery.  Salt, and saltwater, fish grease and massive tonnage being handled daily create the perfect storm of corrosiveness and opportunity for mechanical failure.

That’s why whenever I have an opportunity to secure a Fairbanks Cart to help perform our job at the dock I leap.  This morning at 5:00 AM I drove a couple of hours to get my hands on the newest member of the Captain Joe and Sons Lobster Company Family.  One of the best parts about the Fairbanks carts are the plug in caster systems.  If after years you need new casters, you contact the company and they can ship you out new ones.

The decks are absolute beastly and handle incredibly poundings without skipping a beat.  I routinely lower 400Lbs of lobster crates on them when offloading the boats and then add another stack of 400.  No problem.

Here’s the new one.  I put a couple of coats of linseed oil on the oak decking and greased up the greased fittings and she’s ready for servicing our lobster fleet!

Our “Old” Fairbanks cart that’s helped offload millions of pounds of lobsters through the decades and our newly acquired Fairbanks Cart with the pretty green paint.

Isn’t she pretty?

The “New” Old Cart At The Dock @CaptJoeLobster #GloucesterMA

Here’s the “new” old cart Brian O’Connor found on Craig’s list in Haverhill and I picked up Friday morning.
The “old” old cart I claimed at an old industrial site in Chelsea and it was being thrown away about 20 years ago. I had no idea what the brand was, all I know is that it was extremely rugged. The type of rugged that could withstand the brutal saltwater conditions of a lobster dock year in and year out. In the Craigslist ad the man listed the similar “newer” old cart as a Fairbanks cart so I googled the company and found out they are still in business.

THE “NEW” OLD CART

You can see the difference between the “new” old cart and the “old” new cart in that the cart below has it’s main load carrying wheels based in the middle of the cart so if you place the load in the middle there is a even disbursement of the weight and makes it easy to move on the larger wheels. They call it a tilt style cart.  The “new” old cart has the two big wheels pushed further to the front corner of the cart and two big casters at the back.  In the “old” old cart you could turn it 360 degrees in place, with the placement of the wheels on the “new’ old cart it will be slightly less easy to maneuver but will make it easier to pull the crates off of the platform of the cart without the cart wanting to rotate needing for another person to hold the handles while the other worker pulls the crates onto the platform scale.  Also the weight bearing wheels on the “new” old cart are much larger.

Here’s the “old” old cart that has been used to offload millions and millions of pounds of lobsters over the past decade.

Machaca Mexican Clam Chowder

14 Rogers St Gloucester MA

On Wednesday, April 22, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)’s Greater Atlantic Regional Fisheries Office (GARFO) hosted a Health and Wellness Clinic, bringing together federal and local partners to support community health. Gloucester Public Health Department Director Dominique Hurley and Public Health Nurse Cindy Juncker participated in the event, highlighting a range of programs and services available to Gloucester residents.

During the clinic, Hurley and Juncker provided important public health education on key issues affecting the community. They shared guidance on the increasing prevalence of Lyme disease linked to regional deer ticks, outlined how the department monitors emerging health concerns through local water quality data, and discussed ongoing challenges related to coastal water conditions that can impact both public beaches and seafood safety. They also reviewed food safety permitting requirements, including those needed for seasonal events such as summer picnics and cookouts.

In addition to education, the Public Health team delivered direct, hands-on support to attendees. Services included individualized blood pressure screenings, one-on-one health consultations, and distribution of free NARCAN kits and tick removal tools. These efforts reflect Gloucester’s continued commitment to equipping residents with the knowledge and resources they need to stay safe and healthy, particularly as the community heads into the warmer months.
