Rules for the transportation of grain by auto-grain carriers.

Grain is shipped exclusively to a dry, clean, disinfected body, without the presence of foreign odors. When grain is transported by a tipper-type road train with an open body, the grain must be covered with an awning from above. If grain is loaded into a closed tank body, it is necessary to make sure that the ventilation holes are not clogged and allow air to pass freely – high humidity or mustiness is detrimental to the properties and quality of the grain. You should also avoid getting moisture when reloading grain from one vehicle to another. When loading, it is necessary to make sure that the grain is not clogged and not infected with pests, does not have foreign odors and traces of oil release, and the humidity level does not exceed the value allowed for grain.

Types of used grain carriers for transporting grain.

The fleet of grain carriers of our transport company is presented in the following main options:

Flatbed and tipper road trains grain carriers carrying capacity from Auto grain carrier. Types of grain carriers used for transportation of grain. up to 35 tons with a body volume of 40-50m3. (chassis trailer), such as, for example, tipper trucks.

The length of the motor transport coupling is 6 8 meters, the width is 2.4 m, the side height is up to 0.8 m. The convenience of using tipper and flatbed grain trucks lies in the ability to perform quick rear or side unloading with one tipping without the involvement of additional human resources and special equipment. The main differences between tipper semi-trailers are in the shape of the body, the design of the tailgate, the unloading option – side, rear, or on 3 sides.

Grain trucks with bodies of dump trailers and semi-trailers are made of high-strength steel or aluminum – the second option is widely used for agricultural transportation. products, including grain. The dimensions of such grain carriers are up to 12 meters long, body width 2.43, side height up to 3m, the volume of transported grain is up to 55 m3. Grain trucks are equipped with a tarpaulin canopy (awning) to protect grain from the effects of the external environment (precipitation) during cargo transportation.

The use of tipper road trains makes it possible to transport grain much more efficiently than single dump trucks, especially when it comes to transporting large volumes of grain over long distances.

Semi-trailer tanker-grain truck with a volume of 13 to 80m3 is distinguished by the benefits of use and the maximum volume of transported grain. The lifting aluminum tank has a length of 7.4 to 12.2 m, a width of 2.5 m, and a height of 3.5-3.9 m. The use of aluminum grain carriers allows you to maintain the maximum purity of the grain, deliver the goods to the owner at any distance with the preservation of all its qualities.

The cost of transporting grain by different types of grain carriers.

Tariffs for the transportation of grain are formed taking into account many factors, the main of which are: the direction and distance of cargo transportation, the timing of transportation and the volume of grain supplies. As a rule, grain carrier services are in demand in two main areas:

– Seasonal transportation of grain during the harvest period is transportation over short and medium distances within one country. In such cases, the customer, depending on the volume of the harvested crop, is provided with the maximum capabilities of our fleet – the required number of grain trucks to organize uninterrupted transportation of grain from the combine to the current and the granary, to elevators or other unloading points, to food and bread factories and breweries. With such a mode of supply, when calculating the cost of transporting grain, the creation of temporary filling stations on the line, maintenance and repair points for grain trucks, food and rest points for drivers, and the organization of reliable dispatch communication between drivers and unloading points are taken into account.

– Regional and international transportation of grain over long distances, This is the export transportation of grain by road trains and grain tankers to any country at the request of the cargo owner. The volume of delivery, the number and type of trucks, the distance and route of transportation, road conditions are taken into account.

For a comprehensive service for the transportation of grain, it is necessary to prepare all the necessary shipping documentation for the customs clearance of grain in accordance with applicable international standards. Each country has its ownand rules for the import and export of grain. For example, when exporting grain to Russia, a certificate of quality of grain and products of its processing is not required to complete a customs declaration. Under federal law, this right lies with the buyer’s contracts. Mandatory for export-import operations with grain is the presence of sanitary and epidemiological conclusions and phytosanitary certificates.
