Further to strong sales and worldwide demand for Tong’s industry leading FieldLoad PRO, the company’s fieldloading machine is now available in a compact 1800mm wide specification. The new model has been designed to suit vegetable growers and producers looking to create post-harvest efficiencies at lower throughputs than the company’s flagship machine.
“The FieldLoad PRO continues to be an very popular set-up for truly versatile and efficient post-harvest handling,” says Richard Knighton, Sales Manager at Tong Engineering. “… we work with vegetable producers of all sizes and not everyone needs such a high capacity machine; and this is where the new, narrower machine can ensure all the same efficiencies to suit lower throughput requirements.”
Suitable for use on a wide range of root crops including potatoes, carrots, onions and more, the new, more compact FieldLoad PRO features all the same options as the flagship machine but simply in a narrower format.
Custom-built to suit grower’s exact specification, the new FieldLoad PRO model will feature the standard 4-man inspection cabin and a 1300mm wide fully foldable cart elevator. A super-silent onboard generator provides power efficiency for in-field operation, which can be bypassed for mains power when operating on-farm. Like the larger model, the new compact model can be specified with the latest optical sorting equipment as an alternative to the standard inspection cabin, for ultimate automation and sorting efficiency.
