Self-loading transporter PORTO 18 combines collection, loading, transportation and unloading of round bales in one machine. Harvesting forage and straw by baling offers an efficient way of handling biomass. The overall efficiency of this system depends on fast bale collection and transport from the field. Thanks to its integrated loading system and fully hydraulic operation, PORTO 18 provides an effective solution for handling round bales while reducing operating costs and eliminating the need for additional loading equipment.
* Combines bale collection, loading, transportation and unloading in one machine
* Transport capacity of up to 18 round bales (Ø up to 150 cm)
* Fully hydraulic operation for uninterrupted workflow
* No additional loading equipment required
* Robust modern design compliant with European regulations
* Comfortable and intuitive control directly from the tractor cabin
* Reduces field passes, saves time and lowers operating costs
* Bale collection and loading are performed by a hydraulically operated loading fork, which picks up the bale directly from the ground and loads it onto the transport platform in a single operation.
* A hydraulic pusher automatically moves each bale towards the rear of the trailer, ensuring continuous loading and optimum use of the transport capacity.
* Unloading is carried out hydraulically by the pusher, which ejects the bales from the loading platform quickly and efficiently.
* All machine functions are operated hydraulically and controlled conveniently from the tractor cab, providing smooth and intuitive operation throughout the working cycle.
* PORTO 18 is designed for the collection, transport and handling of **round bales of straw, hay and unwrapped silage**, making it an efficient solution for forage harvesting logistics.
