Bulk transport

We grew big with these principles

Bulk transport has been at the heart of Farm Trans since 1987. What began as the transport of potatoes has grown into specialist bulk transport for both dry and liquid bulk goods within the Food & Agri sector.

From onions, tinned goods and animal feed ingredients to vegetable oils, fats and other liquid foodstuffs: we transport your products safely, efficiently and reliably throughout Europe, including the United Kingdom.

With specialised equipment, experienced drivers and in-depth knowledge of the Food & Agri sector, we ensure a safe, efficient and reliable link in your supply chain every day.

Let the bulk transport specialists at Farm Trans handle the transport of your dry and liquid bulk goods.

High-quality trailers

We have the right transport solution for virtually any dry or liquid bulk flow within the Food & Agri sector. With a modern and versatile fleet, we transport products safely and efficiently throughout Europe.

We have insulated belt trailers, walking floor trailers, tipper trailers, silo trailers, curtain-sided trailers and specialised tank trailers.

Thanks to the right combination of equipment, expertise and experience, our transport solutions are seamlessly tailored to the specific requirements of your product and supply chain.

Practical bulk trailers for transporting almost any bulk product, such as potatoes, peas, carrots, onions and animal feed.

Loading and offloading
Our drivers load your bulk goods via the top of the trailer and offload goods via a discharge belt in the trailer and a slide at the back. The discharge conveyor can track the processing speed at the address where goods are offloaded precisely. The trailer offloads electrically, allowing us to disconnect and offload quickly.

Specifications inside the trailer:

  • The drop mat/catcher protects your bulk goods during loading.
  • With the discharge belt and sloping wall, we can offload your products in a dosed manner.
  • The roll curtain with quick-release closure ensures optimal protection of your cargo.
  • The trailers are fully insulated for optimum safety and durability.

Combine two transports with each other, e.g. on the outward journey a loose food transport and on the return journey a transport of pallets.

Loading and offloading
Our drivers load your bulk goods via the top of the trailer and offload the freight horizontally and safely via a moving floor. The series of floor slats in the sliding floor are hydraulically driven to discharge the trailer automatically. With the walking floor trailers, we reduce the number of empty trips, saving costs and CO2.

Specifications inside the trailer:

  • With hydraulically-driven floor slats, the trailer can be discharged automatically.
  • The inside of the trailer features interior lighting.
  • The roll curtain ensures optimal protection for your cargo.
  • The special coating and floor tarpaulin make the trailers especially suitable for transporting canned goods.
  • The high-pressure mobile cleaning unit makes cleaning easier than ever.

The tipper trailer is versatile and can offload various raw materials such as beet, animal feed, soil, manure, sand and salt efficiently.

Loading and offloading 
Our transporters load your bulk goods through the top of the trailer and safely dump them out of the trailer via a tailgate.

Specifications inside the trailer:

  • A hydraulically-driven tipping cylinder allows the trailer body to be discharged automatically.
  • The roll curtain ensures optimal protection for your cargo.
  • The fast offloading speed makes this trailer ideally suited to crops such as beets.
  • The trailers are waterproof and equipped with interior lighting.

Our specialised silo trailers guarantee fast transport of bulk goods, such as potato flakes, flour or grain.

Loading and offloading
Our transporters load your bulk goods such as grains, beans and sugar through the top of the trailer via the manholes and safely blow the product out of the manhole at the rear of the trailer with compressed air, in order to offload.

Specifications inside the trailer:

  • With a hydraulic tipping cylinder and electric pump, the trailer body can be offloaded automatically.
  • The compressor creates positive pressure that carefully blows your product out of the trailer.
  • The trailers are airtight, for optimum cargo protection.

Disk-sail trailers are used for transporting loose goods in crates or on pallets, but can also be used for transporting non-food goods and goods with different sizes compared to pallets, which do not require a permit or exemption.  

Loading and offloading
Sliding tarpaulin trailers have the advantage that the loading floor is accessible from the top, the rear and both sides. The tarpaulin can be pushed to the side on both sides along the full length of the trailer. In addition, this trailer is covered to keep the load clean and dry.
