Picture here baskets for an Ipsen furnace. Baskets slide along the hearth floor pushed and pulled by dogs. They require a full flat bar pusher pad along the width of the basket on both ends. Pads are available in many sizes, common sizes are 3/16"x1-1/2" and a heavier 3/8"x2". Standard sizes are 22x34 (T-4), 27x46 (T-7) and 34x46 (T-11).
