Getting a local farmer back to carting grain🌾

Shane Troth, a farmer from Caragabal, NSW, brought his trailer to Ellis & Sons for a new roll-over tarp system ahead of harvest.

His existing system had seen plenty of use, so we measured up his trailer and fitted a new roll-over tarp and hardware to help keep his loads protected from the elements.

With a new system fitted, Shane is ready to get on with the job and keep his grain and produce protected throughout the season.

Which hay cover style is best for you - pocket hem or eyelets & bungee?

Hay baling season is here, but it's also extreme weather season, so it's important you start thinking about how to protect you hay stacks ⛈️

Up to 25% of hay can be lost if it's not covered in some way, and hay tarps are a great, cost effective and flexible option ✅

There are two standard types of hay covers we stock - pocket hem and eyelets + bungee & rope - and the type that's best for you comes down to budget and storage timeframe

We've put together some pro's and con's for each style to help you decide which way to go.

Still not sure? We're always happy to help!

💦 How We Prevent Leaking to Make Your Roll-Top Tarp Last Longer 🚛

When you get a roll-over tarp fitted to your bin, you want to be assured it is fully waterproof and prevents moisture from getting into your load.

After all, this is the whole point in choosing a roll-over tarp over other types of tarp systems!

However, if the tarp doesn’t seal correctly against the pelmets at the front of the bin, moisture can find its way in while you’re travelling.

💡That’s why we manufacture our roll-over tarps with fully welded webbing reinforcement at both the front and rear - welded, not stitched. This helps maintain a more secure, watertight seal while providing additional reinforcement where it matters most. 💪

🐄 Supporting Downed Cows 🐮

Did you know we manufacture humane cow slings designed to support downed cows and assist with their recovery? ➕

When a cow is down and unable to get back on its feet, having the right equipment on hand can make a real difference. Our Stayright© Cow Slings are designed to provide support while helping make handling and recovery easier.

❌ Traditional hip clamps can be painful for the cow and may cause further injury to the hips.

✔️ Our Stayright© Cow Slings are made from reinforced PVC with heavy-duty nylon web straps. The straps are positioned clear of the neck and udder, with the cow supported from the brisket rather than the hips or neck.

We keep our cow slings in stock and ready to be express shipped anywhere in Australia.

🌾 Loading Grain? Check These 4 Things First.

Are you carting grain this harvest? 🌾

With plenty of loads going through the tipper, your roll-over tarp is getting plenty of use too. Here are a few things worth keeping an eye on as harvest rolls on:

1. Tarp fabric
Keep an eye out for new tears, cuts or worn areas. Catching them early, before they become a bigger problem and potentially stop you operating, is a good idea.

2. Ropes & rubbers
Regular opening and closing can put wear on these components. If something is looking worn or damaged, it's worth getting it sorted before it becomes a bigger issue.

3. The roll-over system
Pay attention to how your tarp operates. If it starts becoming harder to operate than usual, it's worth taking a closer look.

4. Damage around loading
With loaders working quickly during harvest, keep an eye out for any accidental damage to the tarp or hardware.

A quick check as you go can help you spot small issues before they interrupt a busy day of carting. ✔️
