Masaba Displays Drive-Over Truck Unloaders
BY AsphaltPro Staff
During World of Asphalt/AGG1, Masaba Inc., Vermillion, South Dakota, displayed a model of its drive-over truck unloaders to increase efficiency and safety, while reducing fuel costs. With the costs of transport and handling on the rise, any time a producer can reduce rehandling of aggregate material, the savings will add up. Truck unloading systems can help eliminate material rehandling and traffic congestion, and in turn, they will help to minimize fuel costs, improve cycle times and increase worker safety. Low-profile, drive-over truck unloaders, from Masaba are designed to allow quick unloading of material from belly- or end-dump trucks in a matter of minutes, without the need for the truck or a loader to drive onto or even approach the stockpile.
Available in portable or stationary models, with 48-inch or 72-inch discharge conveyors, Masaba Truck Unloaders feature heavy-duty steel frames. Self-cleaning onboard hydraulic ramps allow for fast setup onsite, eliminating the need for earthen ramps. Hydraulically adjustable discharge conveyors feature an AR-lined discharge hood, making them ideal for feeding stackers, telescoping conveyors or other equipment in the operation.
Masaba Truck Unloader features include:
- Self-cleaning hydraulic ramps
- Hydraulically adjustable discharge height
- Heavy-duty steel ramps to grade
- Nema 4 control panel
- 20 hp electric auxiliary hydraulic pump
- Removable drive-over grizzly bars
- Class II dual drives
- Gen-set (optional)
