ITEM 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
                           Condition and Results of Operations


Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 were $26,659,000 compared with
$25,500,000 for the same period in 1994.  The increase in net sales of 4.5
percent during the first quarter of 1995 was due to higher sales by the Company-
's Materials Handling segment.  Sales of the traditional specialty belt conveyor
products and wire guidance systems were greater than prior year and the sales of
products for solid waste recycling were strong.  This performance was partially
offset by a small sales decline in the Company's Construction Equipment segment
and decreases in sales of the Railroad segment.  The decrease in Construction
Equipment sales was due to the disposition of the chemical processing product
line in July of 1994.  Railroad sales were down due to difficult conditions in
the Canadian railroad industry and lower volume in load securement products.

Net income was $1,919,000 for the first quarter of 1995 compared with $1,814,000
for the quarter ended March 31, 1994.  The increase of $105,000 in first quarter
1995 net income from the prior year's results reflected higher net sales and
other income with lower selling, general and administrative expense and income
tax expense.  These were partially offset by lower gross margins and higher
interest expense.  Gross margins were $18,788,000 compared with $17,157,000 for
the same period in 1994.  The gross margin percentage decreased due to the lower
volume in the Construction Equipment and Railroad segments and to disruptions
caused by the transfer of production of green waste grinders and screens to the
Construction Equipment plant following the acquisition of these products in July
of 1994.

Selling, general and administrative expense decreased from $5,908,000 in the
first quarter of 1994 to $5,712,000 in the same quarter of 1995.  This decrease
was due to reductions in professional fees and closed plant expense.  Other
income of $256,000 reflected the sale of a property site located in Minneapolis,
Minnesota which had been included in Assets Held For Sale.  Interest expense was
$408,000 compared with prior year's interest expense for the same period of
$121,000.  The increase in interest expense was due to higher short and long-
term debt and higher interest rates for the quarter ended March 31, 1995.  The
reduction in the income tax provision for the first quarter of 1995 was the
result of lower foreign earnings.

Current assets were $39,855,000 at March 31, 1995 compared with $35,561,000 at
December 31, 1994 and $33,316,000 as March 31, 1994. Receivables of $16,307,000
at March 31, 1995 were up $3,083,000 from December 31, 1994 due to increased
sales.  Inventory increased $7,580,000 from March 31, 1994 partially as a result
of the acquisition of Count Recycling Systems and the Innovator product line in
April and July of 1994.  In addition, finished goods increased due to a stocking
program at the Construction Equipment segment.  Other current assets decreased
$223,000 from December 31, 1995 due to changes in prepaid insurance and in-
creased $293,000 from March 31, 1994 due mainly to the acquisition of Count
Recycling Systems and Innovator Holdings.

Fixed asset acquisitions were $336,000 during the first quarter of 1995 versus
$541,000 during the same period of last year.  Assets Held For Sale decreased
$176,000 with the sale of a property site in Minneapolis, Minnesota for cash. 
Goodwill increased $2,839,000, after amortization, from March 31, 1994 due to
the acquisition of Count Recycling Systems and Innovator Holdings in April and
July of 1994.  Other Assets and Deferred Charges were $3,103,000 at March 31,
1995 compared with $2,164,000 at March 31, 1994 as a result of the addition of
patents related to acquisitions mentioned above.

At March 31, 1995, current liabilities were up $903,000 from December 31, 1994
and $2,537,000 from those of March 31, 1994.  The increase from the year end was
due to additional purchases made to support higher sales.  The change from March
31, 1994 was the result of the assumption of the current portion of long-term
debt associated with the acquisition of Innovator Holdings which was used to

                                   

finance working capital needs.  The Company's long-term debt at March 31, 1995
was $8,617,000, an increase of $994,000 from December 31, 1994 and $1,495,000
from March 31, 1994.  Both increases were due to working capital needs.

The increase in stockholders' equity of $1,841,000 from December 31, 1994 to
March 31, 1995 was attributable to earnings and to the exercise of stock
options.  These were partially offset by an increase in cumulative translation
adjustment and to the purchase of treasury stock.  The $7,208,000 increase in
stockholders' equity from March 31, 1994 to March 31, 1995 was due to earnings
during the last three quarters of 1994 and the first quarter of 1995, to the
exercise of stock options and to a decrease in cumulative translation adjust-
ment.  These were partially offset by the purchase of treasury stock during the
first quarter of 1995.

The Company received new orders of $24,210,000 during the first quarter of 1995
compared with $26,125,000 for the first quarter of 1994.  The 7 percent decrease
was attributable to lower orders in the Construction Equipment and Railroad
segments.  The order backlog was $21,206,000 at March 31, 1995 compared with
$24,339,000 and $21,377,000 at December 31, 1994 and March 31, 1994, respective-
ly.



Liquidity

On February 12, 1993, the Company entered into a credit agreement with a bank
which was amended on April 26, 1994.  The agreement provides for a term loan of
$6,000,000 and up to $12,000,000 of credit available as either cash or letters
of credit.  The provisions of the agreement include minimum net worth, interest
coverage, net working capital and leverage ratio requirements and limit cash
dividend payments and additional indebtedness.

On July 15, 1994, Portec, Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company,
entered into an unsecured agreement with a bank for a term loan of $4,000,000. 
The provisions of the loan are similar to those of the above agreement.

The Company does not have available lines of credit beyond its existing bank
agreements and is prohibited by these agreements from making other borrowings.

The Company presently has a facility for sale or lease in Troy, New York.  Due
to economic conditions and other factors, the efforts to sell this property have
not been successful.  A remaining property site in Minneapolis, Minnesota was
sold in April, 1995.  Property in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania has been leased on a
long-term lease with an option to buy.  The proceeds from the sale and lease of
these properties are expected to improve the Company's liquidity position.

Due to the seasonal fluctuation in the Company's working capital needs and the
limitations on borrowing, the Company will need to exert careful cash controls. 
However, management believes its existing line of credit and anticipated
operating results will provide the Company with sufficient funds for working
capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions to support anticipated growth. 
The Company's working capital ratios were 1.7, 1.6 and 1.6 to 1 at March 31,
1995, December 31, 1994 and March 31, 1994, respectively.  At March 31, 1995,
the Company had available $6,118,000 of unused credit under its loan agreement,
plus cash and cash equivalents of $3,823,000.  This compared with $7,061,000 and
$7,909,000 of unused credit and $3,398,000 and $4,509,000 of cash and cash
equivalents at December 31, 1994 and March 31, 1994, respectively.
