Bulk Apple Handling Slashes Grower Costs Says Engineer
Ontario storage engineer L. W. Argue estimates a $3000 investment enables a 5000 bushel apple grower to switch to bulk handling. Costs include a $500–$700 tractor lift hoist, pallet boxes at $10–$12 each holding 23 bushels, and a $200 box dump. He notes Ontario growers are slow to adopt bulk methods while Washington Michigan New York and the Okanagan Valley already use pallet boxes, with Nova Scotia and other regions following.
