Not my usual cup of tea, but have a client that asked for my help. Since you guys have great volumes of practical experience I am hoping you can help me brainstorm a few options.
Client is a small campus. Currently receives rock salt in 50 lb. bags and load small hoppers on gators and pickups for spreading. Would like to receive salt in bulk via dump load for cost purposes and eliminate the manual lifting via some sort of auger/loader set up.
Campus is pretty landlocked so a new building is difficult, but that is one option to consider. I am thinking something tall enough to back into and dump then skid loader dumping salt into a hopper that feeds an auger into their spreaders.
Another thought is to utilize the garage space that is currently dedicated to salt storage. It is not tall enough to raise a dump bed so receiving becomes problematic. Thinking of some sort of rolling hopper that could roll out to receive a load and roll back into the garage. Other thought is to somehow modify the garage (can get a truck behind it) to allow dumping into a hopper and transfering into garage or some sort of slanted funnel to transfer inside.
Anybody know manufacturer"s who do stuff like this.

This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
