CP Rail Sets Record For First Quarter Grain Movement

CP Rail set a record during this year's first quarter for movement of Canadian grain and grain products, with more than 6.35 million metric tonnes moved.
 
The 2020 result broke the company's previous first-quarter record, set in 2016, by 300,000 metric tonnes.
 
CP's investment in high-capacity hopper cars will see 5,900 new cars added to the railway's grain shipping fleet. The new hopper cars can carry 10 percent more volume and 15 percent more weight compared to the older cars they are replacing.

Demco's dual auger grain cart is designed for unloading efficiency, operator visibility, and safety in the field.

This dual-auger design features both an unload auger and a floor auger for enhanced grain cleanout and consistent flow, and the 22-inch unload auger is capable of moving up to 600 bushels per minute.

Farmers can also choose between right or left-handed unload options—right-handed unload improves visibility from the tractor cab. A new design allows both vertical and horizontal movement for precise grain placement during unloading.

Another key feature is the built-in fire safety system; a 300-gallon onboard water tank with a hose reel that provides field-ready fire suppression capability.

These dual auger grain carts are available in 1100, 1300, 1500, 1700, and 2200 bushel sizes.
