Carriage of grain by road transport
Trucks are very convenient for delivery of a small lot of products for relatively short distance – within the borders of Ukraine or to the neighbouring countries.
The road transport advantage is that your goods will come directly to a silo, plant or in a port exactly in time and without additional transhipments.
As grain is a highly hygroscopic substance, it requires special transportation conditions. Grain is carried in bulk by special bulk grain trucks or in soft containers called big bags. Transportation of grain by grain trucks is cheaper but big bags preserve grain better.
Our specialists will offer specially equipped trucks that:
- are used for carrying agricultural products only;
- maintain a constant temperature so that the grain quality is preserved.
- meet the hygienic and sanitary standards;
- are provided with rear and side discharge;
- are hermetical and reliable.
With a view of carrying big quantity of the product at a time, our clients order tipper or dropside trucks – truck trailers. A single truck trailer can carry to 75 cu.m. of wheat, barley and corn.
