Emptying cubic metre bags into the back of a tipper

[benbound]

Until recently I've been delivering my logs in cubic metre bags on the back of a trailer and flipping them off at the other end when delivering to the customer. I've just been offered the use of a tipper and wondered if anyone had come up with a quick way of emptying bags onto the back of the truck. I use a tractor with a front loader to pick the bags up but once the bags are on the back of the truck, there doesn't seem to be an easy way of emptying the bag. If I use the tipping loops on the bottom of the bag, either the logs end up tumbling off the side of the truck or the loops rip.

 

Any ideas would be appreciated.

 

Thanks:thumbup:

not ideal, but put the bag on a pallet and tip it forward. mixed success.

Use a 3 metre strop and some d shackels so you pull evenly on both tipping loops that way they only take half the strain. I used to empty 1.5 cu metre bags this way and they have the same strength loops.

Buy bags with emptying loop at the bottom.Thats what my bags have on that I use

Buy the bags with the loops on the bottom.

When loading, we put the bags on from the rear and leave one of the loops on top of the tailgate. This makes it easier to tip over

Thanks for the replies, tried it today loading from the rear, much easier and no spillages. I've tried a few different bag types. The SG Baker ones with the two lifting loops seem to work the best
