The overall width of the Caretaker hopper is 2.9m.
Belt widths are 1200mm, 1500mm, 1500mm, 1800mm 2100mm and 2400mm wide.
Belts are supported on Renold heavy duty 4" pitch roller side chains with a breaking capacity of 15000lb.
Belts are thick reinforced rubber (not thin pvc) and have vulcanised vee cleats to assist the emtying of the hopper and to prevent crop slippage on the belt.
12.6 x 15 wheels and removable tractor drawbar are fitted.
Hopper back rubber is adjustable in height to accomodate different height trailers.
Belt top drive shaft is driven from both sides to give a positive and robust drive system necessary when working in tough conditions.
Variable speed via an inverter gives the ideal belt speed for the job.
Crop sensor (optional) can be fitted to give an automatic speed control when there are 'peaks and troughs' in the crop.
