Bale Trailer Cage Holds Big Loads In Place
![]() |
The 32-ft. tri-axle trailer holds up to 32 big square bales and is equipped with a hydraulic-operated clamshell, which opens for loading and then closes down on one side of the trailer for transport.
Inventor John Goodfellow loads bales 4-high onto the trailer with a JCB telehandler. The steel frame on one side of the trailer forms a stop for the bales.
The clamshell moves smoothly up and down, and the trailer’s tri-axle air bag suspension smoothes out any load bounce, says the inventor.
