Grain carrier - DESCRIPTION, CHARACTERISTICS, SUBTYPES

Grain carrier

Grain carrier

The high sides of the grain tanker allow to transport large volumes of cargo. Such trucks are created on the basis of a durable multi-axle chassis of high cross-country ability to work on field roads. Grain carriers and semi-trailers of dump type allow to unload the body quickly without additional means. These vehicles are available in various payloads, heights and body volumes.

The grain is loaded from above, through hatches or a sliding roof. Some grain wagons are equipped with a self-loading system. Unloading is performed mainly by pneumatic devices, which ensure grain delivery to storage tanks at a height of up to 20 metres. Grain carriers are in demand by agricultural and livestock enterprises and enterprises for transporting grain, mixed fodder and other cargoes to the place of its storage and processing.
