Belgian tanker, trailer maker expands
Belgian trailer and tanker manufacturer Joskin is in expansion mode, building a new facility in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg to manufacture large tipping trailers and a range of muck spreaders.
Belgian manufacturer Joskin, well known for its galvanised slurry tankers, is addressing the problem of moving bales safely, while eliminating the time-consuming job of tying or strapping bales in place.
The Wago range, said to be popular in mainland Europe, has front ‘dolly’ and rear tandem axles, and is fitted with hydraulic side ladders or gates to secure the bales at the single touch of a hydraulic lever.
In turn the ladders are held secure by check valves in the hydraulic line, so eliminating the need for straps or load binders.
The tubular ladders can be lowered on both sides of the trailer to allow loading or unloading from either side; they allow handling of most popular bale sizes.
The manufacturer says the trailer can carry a double row of 90cm high square bales stacked three high, can stack 70cm high square bales four high and, of course, two or three layers of round bales 1.2m in diameter.
