The Bin Runner is a very versatile trailer, capable of picking up, transporting smoothly and unloading bins fast and efficiently. 4, 5 or 6 bin models available.

To pick up bins in the orchard the Bin Runner is lowered and aligned so that the frame slides under the bin. Chains move the bin forwards while the Bin Runner is reversing.

Unloading is even easier. Bin Runner is lowered and then driven forward while the chains are moving backwards, gently unloading.

The new strong floor chains have a rounded top and do not damage or chafe the wood or plastic bins, HDPE nylon wear strips are under the chain.

Transporting of bins is very gentle (even on rough roads) because of the smooth ride given by the rocking tandem axles (4 ton rated). These rocker wheel pivots now have self lubricating HDPE bushes. High flotation tyres 26x1200x12" 12 ply, hot dip galvinising rims, heavy duty bolt-on mudguards, stub axles.

Rocking Tandem Axles 
Crank axle made from solid Ø75mm high tensile shafting & 30mm plate. Stub axles are load rated to 2.5 tonne per pair in tandem - total load rating is 4 tonne. The crank axle & rocker assembly is now double the strength of previous.

Bin guides are now full length & adjustable in width and attached to the main chassis line - bin central while loading. The axle assembly can be unbolted from the frame to allow compact transport.

Two latches  #3 & 4 catch the last bin, and another two # 1 & 2 catch the second last bin.  These latches prevent the bin from coming off during loading and transport.

When you drive the floor chains in reverse to unload, the latches are automatically pulled down, allowing the bins to be unloaded.
With this system you can load a bin with the Bin Runner facing downhill.

Bin Runner is highly manoeuvrable when mounted to the front of the tractor, which is the standard set-up for use in orchard conditions. Headlands only need to be 7 metres clear to enable Bin Runner to efficiently pick up bins.

Bin Runner is proven to be cost efficient because the one unit picks bins up from the packing shed, distributes them in the orchard and then returns to the packing shed with full bins. Even with distances of 2km to travel it eliminates the need for trucks, tractor forklifts and tractor with 3PL forks.

• Hydraulic Requirements - 2 pairs of remotes; 2,200 psi 4 gpm (min)

Large replaceable bolt on skids aid easy pick up of bins on soft ground while the chains remain clean, also prevents damage to hot-mix while loading & unloading.

Trailer Crank Axle 
Two hydraulic rams raise and lower the main crank axle. Safety lock out valves are fitted, stops ram creep and provides easy hose coupling disconnection. 
The middle ram retracts the bin latches only when the floor chains are unloading.
