Specialist trailers to feature in Potato Days demo area
26th August 2024
Richard Western Ltd says it is excited to be part of this year’s Potato Days UK event as site prep partner and bronze exhibitor.
Four Richard Western rootcrop trailers will be used alongside the state-of-the-art potato harvesting equipment in the demonstration areas.
On the exhibitor’s stand, the RC16HS 16t rootcrop trailer will be on display and adjacent to a specially designed 28ft flatbed trailer with hydraulically operating walkways and box pusher to safely and effectively carry potato boxes.
The RC16HS is a low line trailer designed to facilitate damage free root crop harvesting. This trailer comes standard with a monocoque tapered body, 10 stud commercial axles and a single 6 stage tipping ram. The trailer will be fitted with a brand-new hydraulic lift over sheeting system; this side-to-side sheeting system is designed to lift over the load to ensure the root vegetables are not damaged during transport.
The BTTA16/28HS flatbed trailer will be configured for potato harvesting on 1.8m commercial axles with 560/45R22.5 flotation tyres to reduce ground compaction.
The hydraulic walkways on the trailer are a new design, that can be used as walkways for levelling potatoes or folded all the way up to act as a load restraint system; when not in use the walkways can be folded down and out of the way.
The potato box pusher fitted on the rear of the trailer ensures the boxes are tightly held and secured.
