Toboggan, Cargo, Magnesium |
Description |
Two-man toboggan with hinged handle-bar, white nylon cover, and two plastic runners along the length of the underside. Each end has a D-shaped tow ring for attachment to towing harnesses. The cover is quite large and folded in on itself, with twelve cotton webbing straps ending in brass hooks on the outside for lashing, five on each side, and one at the front and one at the back. Also has lashing rope stitched to the canvas strap at one end. The handle-bar is attached at the back end of the tobaggan and is folded over the main body. This can be used for pushing or steering. Tobaggans such as this were used to man-haul equipment needed for an operation when other methods of transportation were not available. |
