Use the forklift with the clamps instead of the skidsteer you can control the cans more like a plow and also is cheaper to run since it's propane rather than diesel for the skidsteer and is a healthier choice to run indoors with the exhaust the skid puts out. We use our electric forklift for the same thing and works more efficient. Good luck keep up the good work!
Done it many times that way. Overhead crane dumped trailers right on to conveyor. They had huge warehouses filled with thousands of bails bigger than that
should put one of those snowplows the extends from 4ft up to 12 foot wide ..perfect for that job get up to the hopper start to pull the plow in and the can wil go right in the hopper for the crusher..plus those plows are designed for skid loader
ka7wyf An adaptable one on this vehicle,even hand made. It would allow them to push cans without spreading them everyxhere like that,and could save several back and forth on each load.
Lots of wasted gas and man hours used pushing all those cans across the floor to the conveyor. All they need to do is build a shoot at the bay door closest to the machine, install some blowers, and it's automatic.
Nice machine but layout of the facility doesn't make sense. There is too much movement of feedstock before the baling and the cycle time to unload the truck looks way too slow. If that was a grain handling facility the truck would tip and go, couple of minutes cycle time tops. You could put in an extra conveyor and save the cost of a skid steer. Technical question: is there anything on the baler/feed system to pull out ferrous materials or are you just trusting that the public will recycle properly?
I hope that wasn't a serious comment?? You really think a guy with a 2 foot wide push broom can work faster than a skid steer with a 1 cubic yard bucket pushing approx. 75-100 cans per swipe at 7 miles per hour?
They're just fooling around in a bobcat. A couple of guys with brooms would be more efficient in terms of sweeping it into the conveyor. And do we need the bloody music all the time?
those prices are pretty close on current market prices going off dealer prices. .50 cents a pound times 300 pounds is roughly $150 a bale. Aluminum isn't a big money maker, lots of bulk not a lot of weight. I was a nonferrous buyer at a yard for over 3 years before i left this year
Well sheeeeet son you sound like an expert! Why did you ask the question if you already knew the answer smarty pants? Just to stroke your own (rather small) member? Damn son.
