Tippers
We run a range of tipper trailers including side tippers and A/B tippers which are used in varying combinations from a single to triple.
At the beginning of our year, tippers head south to Mildura, Victoria to cart almonds for 3-4 months - so the truck yard is pretty quiet. During this time the trucks that have been left behind to help out with the sorghum harvest carting for local growers. When the trucks return home from transporting almonds the cotton season is hot on their heels approaching fast. Our tippers may not cart round bales, however they are pretty handy at moving cotton seed. As the cotton season draws to a close the tippers are prepared for the grain harvest where we begin with carting for local growers then following the harvest south to help cart grain for longtime clients.
Although our schedule seems jam-packed, there is always time for more. Let US help you with your next harvest!
Cotton Crates
During the cotton season our trucks are seen out and about with cotton cages which are owned by the company we cart cotton for.
For the duration of the season we transport cotton locally to Brighann Gin, for the same grower all season. Through the use of the cotton cages we can cart 18 round bales, rather than the 12 bales we had only been able to transport previously when using flat tops.
This allows us to be much more efficient in our operations and allow more time for other things to take place.
Other
We own a range of trailers and dolly’s that are essential to the operation of our business. This includes flat tops, a triaxle deck widener (3.5m), a quad float and dolly widening to 3.8m - allowing us to transport up to 45t as well as a B double set of stock crates.
Our Flat tops are primarily used to move hay and general freight these days, however they have seen their fair share of hard work. Previously being used to Cart cotton bales, changed into convertibles to move grain and also to transport machinery. As for our our drop deck and quad axle float they are also primarily used to move oversize machinery such as tractors, headers, cotton pickers and scrapers all throughout the year. We can also supply a licensed pilot if it is required. Although there is no specific season for carting stock, they are certainly put to use well when they are in demand.
We are always happy to help move your next load, whatever that may be!
