Abstract: A tool box 10 is shaped for mounting to a rearwardly extending tow bar of a pickup truck, with a bottom wall 24 and upwardly extending front, rear and side walls forming an upper opening for containing tools. The container bottom wall 24 extends rearwardly beyond the rear wall 18 and the bottom wall to form a rearwardly facing license plate recess 33 for receiving a vehicle license plate.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for loading live poultry onto an overhead shackle conveyor system is used in poultry processing plants. The birds (25) are placed on a horizontal moving conveyor (22) that includes dividers (34) that form a series of spaces on the surface conveyor for receiving birds. The shackles are tilted upwardly from the surface conveyor and tend to engage the legs of the bird and lift the birds out of the conveyor system and along the processing path of the poultry plant.
