Vin Callery Transport thinks going Stag is not a bad thing, particularly when running tippers for grain and fertiliser

South Australian operator Vin Callery Transport thinks going Stag is not a bad thing, particularly when it comes to running tippers for grain and fertiliser.
Based in Riverton in South Australia, Vin Callery Transport runs a fleet of B-double sets, including an existing Lusty EMS Stag combination, drop deck trailers, tankers, livestock crates and a curtain-sided trailer, and has the versatility to move a variety of freight including grain, fertiliser, gypsum and all manner of quarry products.
With a carrying capacity of 75 cubic metres, Vin Callery Transport’s latest Stag combination will be used primarily for grain, offering higher payload, productivity and potentially decreasing the number of customer drops per day.
According to Chris Callery, the true secret of the Stag combination’s success is the ability to unload at any grain silo, regardless of the auger, by jack-knifing the second trailer. This eliminates unhitching and improves operator safety.
Callery says the design of the trailer also prevents excessive product build-up on the chassis or other components, making it easy to keep clean and perform maintenance.
