L'Ortye from Limburg has purchased several pieces of equipment from Rigter Handelsonderneming for the 2021/2022 beet campaign.The sugar beets from Limburg that used to be transported by road with trucks, now go by ship to the factory in Dinteloord.

The beets are loaded with a new Sennebogen 835e hybrid and a Kinshofer 8000 liter grab. This Kinshofer beet grab has a robust construction for 24/7 use.

The sugar beets must also be sampled for sugar content and tare (dirt/soil) percentage. Rigter Handelsonderneming has also made a special beet scraper for a Sennebogen wheel loader type 355 for this purpose.

The beet scraper is 4 meters wide and 120 cm high for maximum additional sliding and cleaning. On top of this, Poelstra from Groningen has built a sample device with the hydraulic control. For example, they now use the standard function of the Sennebogen 355 and switch it to 3 extra functions, all controlled remotely from the wheel loader / telehandler.

Another nice complete package of tools from Eemnes and developed together with the customer at the request of the sugar union.

This new way of transport saves a lot of co2 and there is less traffic on the road.
