Crop Shuttle
The Crop Shuttle is the largest, fastest and
most versatile crop cart on the market.
Choose from 36-, 46- and 56- ton capacity
and discharge speeds up to 25 tons
per minute. New for 2019 are multiple
cleaning bed options that allow operators
to remove tare and leave the dirt in the
field. The Crop Shuttle is extremely
versatile, allowing for use in multiple
crops such as sugarbeets, potatoes,
carrots, onions, red beets, cucumbers and
even corn silage.
The Crop Shuttle is designed so that no
PTO is needed to power the hydraulics.
Its patented design has minimal moving
parts and changing angles, meaning
less buildup of debris while using less
hydraulic power. The hopper rises into the
air while unloading, creating the incline
needed without a separate conveyor
slowing down discharge and damaging
crops.

targeted spectroscopy with 1-millimeter
precision. The proven and dependable
technology guarantees a superior defect
detection and quality control. The sorter
can be complemented by the peel control
module measuring the peel quality and
calculating the peeler's optimal steam
time. This combination delivers a better
and more stable detection of defects and
peel quality. Real-time adjustments to
the sorter's and peeler's settings result
in faster, more accurate reactions to
changes, improving the yield and quality
of the final product.
