• Adapts to standard “walking floor” hoppers

• Eliminates truck traffic over hopper slats
• Continuous unloading during operation
• Conveyor lid permits conventional rear unloading
• Easy maintenance access in outboard position
• Rail designs for new or retrofit installation

Live bottom “walking floor” hoppers have been popular for years, however, the standard design does not allow the operator to drive through a loaded hopper. This design allows the operator to shift the bin sideways without stopping the hydraulic drive. This allows the truck to pass through on the concrete while the husking operation continues to run. This unit is very useful for smaller operations, especially if wagons or similar devices are used to transport seed to the plant. If desired, the operator can also shift the hopper to the side for conventional rear unloading or system maintenance. The system is best suited for new installations, but can also be used for retrofit projects.
