Low Clearance Drive-Over Grain Pit CROP STORAGE Handling Equipment 21-2-3 You can unload even the deepest hopper bottom truck with this new drive-over "grain pit" that's billed as the "lowest clearance, highest capacity" "drive-over" unloading system ever developed.
Batco Manufacturing's patent-pending "Pit Stop" made the rounds at North American farm shows last winter.
The 25-ft. long unit is only 6 1/2 in. high when in operating position. It uses an 18-in. wide rubber belt instead of an auger, reducing height and weight and providing the gentlest grain-handling on the market, according to Batco.
The nylon-backed reinforced rubber belt carries grain to a 14-in. dia. transfer tube. A 32-in. wide by 114-in. long collapsible hop-per sets up along either side of the conveyor.
The hydraulic-driven unit comes with hydraulic-activated transport wheels so you don't have take wheels off for use and put them back on for transport.
Sells for $7,200 (U.S.).
