Spuds all over the floor.



Arrived at Pasco in Washington at the customer and opened the back doors....oh my god !!
51,000lbs or roughly 25ton of potatoes dumped on the trailer floor, no bags,sacks or crates, just dumped. How the hell are they going to unload this.
Well the solution was not only brilliant but fast.
A conveyor was fed into the trailer with what resembled a bobcat (mini digger) bolted to the front. A bucket on the front of the bobcat had mini conveyors which scooped up the spuds, fed them out of the back and onto a big conveyor which took them away. Total unloading time was about 40 mins.

often they just lift the trailer up and dump them out the back. about 5 minutes.
