2025 Loftness 10-Foot Truck Unloading Auger Base

2025 Loftness 10-Foot Truck Unloading Auger

Need to transfer grain from a truck into a grain bag? The Loftness® Truck Unloading Auger is perfectly matched for the GBL10 grain bag loader. The versatile swing hopper can accept grain from bottom traps, side chutes or dump trailers. And with a transfer rate of 11,900 bushels per hour, trucks can dump in plenty of time to catch the next load.

Designed for easy setup, the Truck Unloading Auger is a perfect match for the GBL10 grain bag loader. It gives you even more flexibility to fill grain bags from a combine, grain cart or grain truck.

The low profile swing hopper is the key to successful truck unloading. Twin 7-inch diameter pan augers move grain quickly from the truck’s discharge into the 13-inch diameter swing auger.

The hydraulic control valve is located on the swing hopper auger. The operator has excellent visibility and control when positioning the swing hopper under a moving or stationary truck.

Use of industry standard, easy-to-get replacement parts reduces downtime during your critical harvest window. Standard nonproprietary bearings, chains and U-joints are available at most fleet or auto parts suppliers.

Features may include:

• The low profile swing hopper is the key to successful truck unloading. Twin 7-inch diameter pan augers move grain quickly from the truck’s discharge into the 13-inch diameter swing auger. Hopper height is 12 inches or 19 inches with extensions.

• The hydraulic-drive hopper wheels are used to move the swing hopper into position under the truck’s discharge. The traction tires are foam filled to eliminate air loss from bead failure.

• The hopper lift is used to apply down pressure to the drive wheels when positioning the swing hopper. The wheels are then hydraulically lifted off the ground to allow the hopper to rotate on the skid plate. The drive wheels can be lowered to the ground to reposition the hopper while dumping, if needed.

• Free-wheeling, rigid gage wheels are adjustable for hopper height control. Solid rubber tires support the far end of the hopper when swinging under the truck’s discharge. The swing hopper is designed to rotate under the truck’s discharge as the bag loader advances. The skid plate in the center of the hopper helps provide a pivot point for rotation.

• The hydraulic control valve is located on the swing hopper auger. The operator has excellent visibility and control when positioning the swing hopper under a moving or stationary truck.

• The articulating 13-inch diameter swing auger provides easy reach and positioning control when aligning the hopper under the truck’s discharge chute. When the job is done, the same pivoting allows the hopper to swing out of the way.

• The high-speed, 13-inch diameter main stationary lift auger moves grain into the hopper of the bag loader.

• The backbone of the swing auger/hopper system, the 13-inch diameter transition auger delivers grain to the pivot point over the base of the main auger.

• The swing hopper and auger are easily winched up into transport position with a cable/pulley system. Transport chains are deployed once the hopper is in position. Cable tension is then released for transport.

• The hopper transport winch is easy to reach from ground level.
