Here?s some pictures from today so far,the yellow stacker is telescopic so you back up and let it extend in the trailer far as it?ll go,it reaches very close to the front. You start with it low and off to one side so as not to bruise the potatoes then gradually start raising the boom up as you build the pile. Once it?s close to the ceiling you just start drawing the boom in as you build the pile and do that right to the back of the trailer. One even run to the roof the full length except the ends where the load starts and finishes gives a nice 70-72 000 lbs of taters. They?re all being processed into fries for Cavendish Farms on PEI. Making 3 trips today,1 hour drive each way,45 minutes to load 35 minutes to unload. Some have live bottom inserts that don?t have planks they just unload and you stand and watch,some just sit in the truck and let them go. Older trailers like this one you stand inside with a short rod with a hook on the end and keep pulling the planks up as you go.
