Mobile TANK™

    NEW for 2020

    LOCKWOOD®’s Mobile TANK™ is the industry’s most agile potato handling unit. This unit exceeds both industry standards and customer expectations with regards to transport and setup time reduction. The Mobile TANK can be moved from location to location at posted highway speeds and because of the telescoping elevator can be setup and operational in minutes. The Mobile TANK innovative design follows LOCKWOOD’s line of mobile handling equipment and complements the already efficient VACS Mobile™ and VACS-8, as well as many other pre-storage cleaning units on the market.
     
    The Mobile TANK incorporates a holding unit on a customized semi-trailer. The unit uses a telescoping elevator that extends down from the front of the trailer to a position under the stinger trailer discharge. LOCKWOOD offers a stinger trailer with up to three truck stingers to unload potatoes from the truck and deliver to the tank. The stinger trailer is entirely powered hydraulically through quick connect fitting located at front of semi-trailer.
     
    Potatoes are transported from the stingers along a system of elevator/conveyors and deposited in the tank.  The tank uses a standard boom and optional telescoping boom to load the tank. Pile height specifications are adjustable and manually set by the operator. The telescoping boom will move forward and backward in relation to the tank pile to compensate for inconsistencies of truck availability.
     
    The Mobile TANK unloading belt incorporates a steel chain with bolted belting with an adjustable speed control, manually adjusted by the operator to downstream cleaning equipment requirements. The tank discharge utilizes a baffle to minimize pile roll (break away) and surging to maintain a consistent flow into the cleaning device elevator.
     
    The Mobile TANK is 100% hydraulically powered by two wet kits and an intuitive touch screen user interface.
