Hulett Automatic Ore Unloaders Home Page

The 'Hulett,' a highly efficient ore unloading machine unique to the Great Lakes, was invented by Clevelander George Hulett in 1898. Over 75 Huletts were built, revolutionizing ore shipping. These Cleveland Huletts [photograph on postcard], electrically-powered with 17-ton capacity buckets, standing some 10 stories tall and weighing in at 880 tons, were built in 1912, and unloaded ore boats continuously until 1992.
