Distilleries' Aluminium Trailer

If you've noticed an error in this article please click here to report it so we can fix it.
DISTILLERY companies in Canada are using huge rear-end tipping semi-trailers, fitted with closed top, bodies, to transport -grain from Montreal Harbour to their own storage silos.
These all-welded aluminium bodies weigh some 13,000 lb. less than former steel bodies used and this large saving in weight allows the companies to haul over six tons more grain on each trip.
Watertight aluminium tops are welded to the bodies and equipped with three large hinged-type hoppers and doors. "the load is dumped through a rear hopper directly into an open pit, which feeds the grain into inclined conveyors and transports it to the top of the silos.
Manufactured by the Atlas Hoist and Body Co.. the bodies do not require any maintenance as there is no need for annual repainting, the interiors are bright and shining, supplying sanitary and corrosion-free transportation of grain. and they can be used if necessary for currying any dry food products in bulk.
