St. Paul Hydraulic was a wholly owned subsidiary of Gar Wood Industries. About 1950, their Pax-All bucket-type loader seems to have supplanted the earlier Bucket Loader which carried a Gar Wood badge. The method remained basically the same; tilting the body against fixed cables which draw the trough up to roof level. However, an internal "Cram-Packing" panel was added, its pusher arms automatically forcing the panel rearward as the body is lowered. Also note the trough travel was guided by side arms, instead of the trolley wheel arrangement of the Gar Wood Bucket Loader.
