What grain trucks are used for transporting grain

Grain transportation by road is carried out using special vehicles — grain trucks, which are divided into several types:

1. Covered grain trucks — this is the most common type of grain trucks. They have a closed roof and can transport both grain and other bulk materials. Their carrying capacity ranges from 20 to 60 tons.
2. Side grain trucks — grain trucks with high sides to prevent spillage of grain during transport. They can carry from 25 to 50 tons of grain.
3. Grain semi-trailers — specialized semi-trailers. Their carrying capacity is 30-60 tons. They can be equipped with various devices for loading and unloading.
4. Tarpaulin grain trucks — these are grain trucks that have a tarpaulin instead of a roof. They are often used for transporting grain over short distances but can also carry larger volumes.
5. Dump trucks for grain — these are trucks with an open platform. Suitable for short-distance transport. Carrying capacity: from 10 to 30 tons.
