Joskin Silo-Space, a sturdy and modular body with great capacity!

The Joskin silage trailers are made up with a set of vertical posts supporting lateral and rear walls made of profiled sheets.  The profiled concept improves the inertia of the walls, i.e. their resistance to the pressure applied by the silage matter.  To prevent any risk of corrosion, the walls benefit from a double protection: they are galvanized on both sides and covered with plasticized paint on the outside.  The bottom of the body is also entirely galvanized and it is supported by a set of cross-pieces linking the vertical posts to each other.
The hydraulic front leaf is standard mounted on the whole Joskin Silo-Space range and it is particularly useful behind the forage harvester, when starting to work on the plot.  The front wall is made of punched steel sheet and guarantees a maximum visibility.
The lateral door with quick-opening system turns out to be very useful for maintenance and cleaning operations.

This equipment is standard mounted if you have chosen the "shredding beaters" option.  the access ladder, which can be folded back, makes the inside of the body easier to reach.

The inside box lighting (Swiveling and well protected) is also part of the standard equipment of our silage trailers.


 
To unload while limiting friction efforts, the rear and lateral walls of our silage trailers are profiled in the unloading direction of the silage matter (maize, grass...).  With this in mind, Joskin developed a conical body for its Silo-Space silage trailers.  Indeed, the back of the body is 5cm wider than the front.
The silage trailer is unloaded easily and without blocking thanks to the consequent off-set (about 40 cm) of the rear door above the body.  The rear door is operated by 2 double acting cylinders.  The rear door is also equipment with a locking system that works with a spring.  Thanks to this system, the user is sure that the door is closed correctly and prevents it from opening unexpectedly.  By means of an integrated control of the moving floor and the rear door, a "stop" sensor sends an electrical signal, thereby allowing the moving floor to start when the rear door is completely open.

In option, it is still possible to design your silage trailer in such a way as to allow the moving floor to be operated during opening of the rear door.

In option, rear working lights can be integrated into the chassis of all Silo-Space silage trailers.  They turn out to be particularly useful to carry out the night works the contractors are often confronted with during the silage season.
The moving floor of the Joskin Silo-Space silage trailers is made up with 2 moving parts driven by 2 hydraulic motors (With lateral box), which improves the sturdiness and the power of the whole machine.  The profiled slats fitting out these two parts are alternately placed in order to guarantee an even distribution of the load.
The yaw chains offer a consequent resistance to traction (12 T). Two sets of 4 wearing-off rails in ertalon are placed on both sides of the body to prevent the moving floor and the body bottom from scraping each other.
The two hydraulic motors making the floor move are fitted with two gears.  The first gear allows to start the moving floor and progressively increase its speed.  Then, the second gear stands for the quick and regular unloading of the silage trailer.
The system regulating the tension of the chains is protected by a wide opening cover, which is fastened by two gas cylinders.  Holes are cut in this cover to allow the user to quickly notice a lack of tension in one of the chains.
The shredding beaters (in option only) stand for an even distribution of the silage matter.
The shredding beaters are driven by transmission chains and the lower beater drives the upper one.
The mechanical angle transmission is protected by 2 anti-torsion silent-blocks absorbing the shocks turning up when starting to unload.
Once again, in order to stand for the safety of the user and the protection of the equipment, an electromagnetic sensor indicates that the upper shredding beater is turning and allows the moving of the floor to be started.  If the lower beater does not turn, the upper one will not be set in rotation, which explains the place where the sensor is mounted.  This safety device, combined with the one on the rear door, prevents the silage matters from being unloaded against a still closed door or against the shredding beaters when they are not turning.
The various standard hydro-valves and electro-valves (read door, gear of the moving floor and inside box lighting) are operated by way of an easy-to-use control panel.
Our silage trailers are fitted with a bolted swivel eyelet.  In option, this eyelet can easily be replaced by a fixed or knee-joint eyelet.

The Joskin Silo-Space 20/40 and 22/45 models are equipped with a hydraulic jack with direct connection (with hand pump in option).

The 24/45 model is fitted with a hydraulic skid with direct connection (in option on the 20/40 and 22/45).


The 20/40 and 22/45 models are equipped with an adjustable drawbar with cross springs.

The 24/45 model is fitted with a hydro-pneumatic suspension of the drawbar (in option on 20/40 and 22/45).

Provided they are equipped with a hydro-pneumatic suspension, the Joskin Silo-Space silage trailers can be fitted, in option, with a load transfer cylinder (3rd hydraulic point).  This device allows you to transfer some load on the tractor front wheel, which considerably improves the safety of the cartage and the driving comfort.


The Silo-Space 20/40 model is fitted with the bolted and movable Joskin "roll-over" boggie.  Its "parabolic" blades offer an unfailing suspension while ensuring the cartage stability.

Unlike the traditional boggies, which have the tendency to bury their front wheels, the Joskin "Roll Over" design has an upwards traction line.  In this way, the front wheels are literally pulled over the obstacle.  As a result:  less traction power needed, less ground compaction, less damage to the ground and less wear to the tires.

The Silo-Space 22/45 and 24/45 models are respectively fitted with the "Hydro-Tandem" and "Hydro-Tridem" suspension system.  The reactivity of the suspension cylinders is extremely useful when facing consequent ground unevenness.  Moreover, their 255 mm axle travel stands for an optimal distribution of the loads in all circumstances.  In option, the 20/40 model can also be equipped with the "Hydro-Tandem" suspension.

For an optimal driving comfort, road axles are available in option.

It is possible to fit out your Hydro-Tandem or Hydro-Tridem vehicle with an automatic height adjustment system of the hydraulic suspension.

The Silo-Space 20/40 model is equipped with a rear free steering axle but it is also possible to replace it by a self steering axle (option).  The Silo-Space 22/45 and 24/45 models are respectively fitted with one or two rear self steering axles.

The steering cylinder is controlled by a sensor cylinder that is clamped to the drawbar by means of a knee-joint.  The system is balanced thanks to the compensated jacks, which exert a similar force in both directions.  The circuit is fitted with a monoshell control unit, consisting of one manometer, two nitrogen accumulators, one balancing valve and one calibration system.

The mechanically driven axle can help you to deal with the most difficult situations, in the field or in pastures.  It also allows you to reach easily the top of the highest and the most sloping grass or maize silos.
The 20/40 and 22/45 models are fitted with hydraulic brakes and the 24/45 model with air brakes (in option on the 20/40 and 22/45).  In option, the whole Joskin Silo-Space range can be fitted with a combined braking system, (hydraulic and pneumatic).

Finally, a vehicle with air brakes can also be completed by a braking system in proportion to the load.

The cargo TSM and TRM multi-modules carriers are ready to transport your silage box,... as well as your future slurry tank, monocoque tipping box or spreader body.
