EFFICIENCY
The Toad loads grain more evenly than is humanly possible. As a result, it loads about 5% more
grain into every railcar, which translates to freight and labor savings. It can also reduce the
size of your railcar fleet, reducing logistical costs. The Toad quickly pays for itself and contributes
significantly to your plant's long-term profitability.
SAFETY
The Toad fills cars without a shovel, keeping workers out of harm's way. Back injuries are the most common and costly source of lost time injury, the average cost of which ranges from $24,000 to $180,000 (according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and US Center of Health Promotion and Preventative Medicine). Because the Load Toad is operated by a single user from a control station, it helps eliminate the risk of costly and lost-time injuries.
TRIED AND TRUE
The Load Toad has a proven track record. It's currently being used in dozens of agricultural plants. In its first year in use, it filled thousands of railcars, resulting in hundreds of fewer railcars used, resulting in very significant savings.
APPLICATIONS
The Load Toad has been used extensively to load Dried Distillers Grains and can be customized to work with other similar materials. It has also been used with soybean meal with similar results of about 5% greater efficiency.
