Am I hallucinating, or did some shipping company actually try to haul and unload pig iron in a self-unloader years ago? If it happened, I suspect the combination of size and cargo density made any attempt difficult.

I don't know about specific special cargoes but my guess would be Sugar Stone which is a seasonal limestone about the size of irregular softballs.

Ok, didn't know how to search this so here goes.

What is the largest cargo via sized that can be handled by a self unloader.

Size of a hardball? Softball? Soccer ball? Foot ball?

I thought i had read years ago, the Nicholet and Franz were able to handle larger via size cargo because of there unique conveyor systems.

Thank you
