    Is that AN for making ANFO? We haul quite a bit of that in bulk in our pneumatics but we've never hauled any sacks.

    Here's the only kind of live unload we really want....

    Yes,,its cheaper than buying mixed ANFO. They would dump 2 litres fuel into each bag as they use it and pour down drill holes. Friggin messy job. I may have bagged those at one of our facilities, or they may have been on the dock...Everything was handled by hand, just loaded onto pallets.

    No one had a moveable dock plate made out of plate steel? A lot of my stops are so old you put the dock plate in place yourself.

    Yep been there done that, where there aren't no docks that's the way to do it in fact its the only way to do it, a pallet jack and fork lift you have to drag out the first couple till you've got enough room to spin the jack around its great fun especially if the pallets are around a ton in weight.
