A trailer for an epic success: SilaPactor
Twelve years after its launch, and with over 300 SilaPactors now in use in the UK, the benefits of improving compaction are well understood. The definite correlation between DM loss and clamp density (see graph below) is perhaps the biggest benefit alongside reduced clamp space requirement, reduced operator risk associated with covering overfilled clamps, fuel saving, reduction in single-use plastic and less likelihood of slippage.
With a growing number of farmers keen to benefit from using the SilaPactor, and contractors often travelling many miles between farms, we have developed this simple yet sturdy SilaPactor transport trailer. Easy to load and unload, the SilaPactor is cradled within the trailer and secured with ratchet straps provided, ensuring safe and efficient movement between jobs.
If you are keen to try the benefits of a SilaPactor on your own farm, please contact us to discuss purchasing one of your own, or to be put in touch with a local contractor or hire machine. We also have several groups of farmers who have purchased a machine between them to share, so why not discuss this possibility with your neighbours?
