bulk bag deliveries

[drythropple]

How do you guys deliver your bulk bags?

Do you have cranes and lift them off or just drag them the old fashioned way?

[agrimog]

the joys of having a crane!!!

Good luck with dragging 400kg of wood around.

 

If you want to do bulk bag deliveries then the options are:

 

Trailer and tip (slide off down ramps)

 

Tralier and offload/stack

 

Telehandler (local only)

 

Flatbed transit and tip

 

Flatbed Transid with HiaB arm.

 

Trailer with HiaB arm.

 

Courier (£25 local, £40 national)

 

Pickup or convered Landy and offload/stack.

 

Think that just about covers it. I do local on telehandler and anything beyond 2 miles they collect or it goes courier.

Iv been doing bulk bags(builders, not cubic metre) in the back of my 110 van for the past 2 years, pulling them out the back door by hand, sometimes putting 2 in. Or I did them 2 at a time on a 3/4 ton trailer, again pulling them off by hand with no problem.

Trailer with hiab which can take 6 bulk bags at a push. Nose weight could be an issue but Landcruiser hides it well.

its not hard at all, just grab the bag by the ears and pull, usually lands upside down so you get your bag back:thumbup1:

Get a pick axe handle and wind it round the ears on the bags use it as a big handle to pull the bag oot yer trailer....works fine for me....don't pull it too far on the ground or else the arse'll be oot the bag in no time...

Yeah, Ive been dragging them down a couple of short ramps, getting a bit long in the tooth for it now though!

Has anyone any pics of thier trailers with cranes?

Yeah I'm curious about that too, have been thinking about riko fast tow trailer to aid delivery and to help with Arb work , but it's expensive

Pull mine out of the back on a loadhandler,then when you get to the tipping point,a sharp tug and stand back!! most of the time the bag lands openside down,then just hoick it off using the handles on the bottom of the bag and you're away!
