Light Land Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Well 5 of them actually. Dutch made trailer's all parked up and ready for this years flower bulb harvest. In the past these were pulled in 2's with hired jcb tractors. The trailer backs up to the unloading conveyor then a PTO is pluged into the side,gently rolling up the mat and pulling the blubs off the trailer with out hurting them.

Light Land Posted May 20, 2006 Author Share Posted May 20, 2006 The mat. The PTO just gets pushed in the end.Unloading time is about 20minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 You learn something new every day fp!! I take it you have to pull the matting into the trailer before filling and then pull it back out with the bulbs on top, not disimilar to a walking floor trailer which get used in the UK for some applications.

jdc Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 More unusual stuff FP. The trailers look so well built you'd think they would have a better system for resetting the floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Light Land Posted May 20, 2006 Author Share Posted May 20, 2006 Thanks guy's Your both right,the only let down is getting in and pulling the mat back to the front after every load.The trailers pull like a gem and backing them is is a dream,very smooth.

MJB1 Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 in once worked at a place where irish moss peat was delivered in a shipping container & that also had an unloading arangement not unsimilar to what you see there , but surely a full width belt would be just as good wouldn't it ?

james f Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Yeah, something similar to a chain and slat floor only a belt would have been the best solution I would have thought. you could even still use the PTO thingy at the unloading point to drive it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 I assume its all down to cost, these trailers will be stood for the biggest part of the year I would imagine and a walking floor arrangement wont be cheap to manufacture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Light Land Posted May 21, 2006 Author Share Posted May 21, 2006 Got it in one FP,The good thing about that way is it only takes 2 guys 5 mins to make the trailer into a flat deck for carting hay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
