Project

Silage wagon overhaul

A tired, worn out silage wagon stripped back and rebuilt, so it goes back to work instead of being replaced.

The wagon had done its time. Rather than write it off, it came into the workshop to be taken back to the frame and rebuilt from there.

Rebuilding gear like this usually costs a fraction of replacing it, and because you can see what has worn, the parts that failed can be built back stronger than they were originally.

What was done

Stripped back and rebuilt

  • 01

    Sides replaced

    The worn sides came off and new ones went on.

  • 02

    Centre chain track refurbished

    The chain track down the middle of the floor was refurbished rather than replaced.

  • 03

    Under-deck structure cleaned and rust killed

    The structure under the deck was cleaned back and the rust treated before anything went back on top.

  • 04

    Decking timbers replaced

    New decking timbers through the floor.

  • 05

    Elevator headboard replaced

    A new elevator headboard at the front end.

  • 06

    Extra wear strip added

    An extra wear strip fitted where it wears hardest, to get more life out of it next time round.

  • 07

    Repainted

    Finished and repainted, ready to go back to work.
