Grain

Metsjö’s tractor-drawn grain trailers are developed for professional transport of grain, rapeseed and other bulk materials where high transport capacity, low soil compaction and reliable operation are essential.

The trailers are engineered for modern farming operations with long transport distances, high harvest volumes and increasing demands for efficient logistics. Thanks to low tare weight, large wheels and advanced chassis technology, Metsjö grain trailers can transport large volumes while maintaining low ground impact and low fuel consumption.

The trailers are used for transport of:

Wheat
Barley
Oats
Rye
Triticale
Rapeseed
Maize
Potatoes
Sugar beets
Manure
Snow
Other agricultural and bulk materials

High volume and low soil compaction

Metsjö grain trailers are developed with focus on maximum transport efficiency per trip.

Through smart engineering and low tare weight, the trailers provide:

High payload capacity
Large transport volumes
Low fuel consumption
Low soil compaction
Efficient long-distance transport

The trailers can be equipped with very large wheels within legal vehicle width limits, which is especially important when operating on sensitive soils and during demanding harvest conditions.

The large wheels contribute to:

Lower ground pressure
Improved off-road capability
Reduced risk of getting stuck
More soil-friendly field operation
Higher traction efficiency

Combined with multiple axles, optimized weight distribution and low tare weight, this creates extremely low ground impact even under heavy loads.

Documented low fuel consumption and low ground impact

Metsjö’s chassis concept has been verified in independent Swedish studies.

The studies show:

Approximately 25% lower fuel consumption compared with conventional systems
Approximately 50% lower soil compaction compared with traditional trailers

These advantages are achieved through:

Laser-aligned axles
Large wheels
Hydraulic suspension
Low tare weight
Efficient weight distribution
Optimized chassis geometry

The studies also show that the risk of subsoil compaction is very low or non-existent.

Eucon – hydraulic high-opening tailgate for efficient unloading

Metsjö grain trailers can be equipped with the Eucon body system – developed for safe and efficient grain and bulk transport.

The Eucon body is characterized by:

Hydraulic high-opening tailgate
Opening angle of approximately 130 degrees
Leak-tight construction
Self-locking function
Possibility to install a grain hatch

The self-locking tailgate means that hydraulic pressure is not required to keep the tailgate closed during transport, improving safety and reducing stress on the hydraulic system.

The large opening angle improves:

Unloading speed
Material flow
Discharge of sticky materials
Tipping safety

The leak-tight design makes the trailer particularly suitable for transport of grain and rapeseed where material loss must be minimized.

Multiple body types for different applications

Metsjö offers several different grain and bulk body designs depending on the intended application.

Many trailers are also based on Metsjö’s modular MetaQ concept where the body can be changed depending on season and application.

This allows the same chassis to be used for:

Grain transport
Rapeseed transport
Potatoes and sugar beets
Manure
Snow transport
Dump trailer applications
Silage transport
Bale transport
Machinery transport

Since the largest part of the investment cost lies in:

The chassis
Axles
Suspension
Braking systems

the modular concept provides high flexibility and excellent long-term operating economy.

Hydraulic suspension for stability and comfort

Many Metsjö trailers can be equipped with advanced hydraulic suspension developed for:

High transport stability
Low soil compaction
Active weight distribution
Excellent comfort at high transport speeds

The system combines:

Laser-aligned axles
Communicating hydraulic suspension
Low centre of gravity
Optimized chassis geometry

This provides excellent stability even during:

Heavy loads
Uneven terrain
High-speed transport
Road and field operation

EU type approved grain trailers for 40 and 60 km/h
