RUSSELL Classic Feed Chute Transporter

Rapid extraction, transport and replacement of mill feed chutes is critical for mill inspections plus maintenance and is vital for fast relining. When a problem or delay is encountered, it can impact maintenance efficiency, plant floor structural integrity and mill availability. Built to work hard over the long haul, RUSSELL Feed Chute Transporters (FCTs) allow even the most fully choked loads to be handled with ease, speed and safety.
