I’d say it’s a case of time is money for every second the boat is there so the merchant throws as many trailers as he can get at it to get it turned around quick
 
For a contractor. They get contractors in with either Tri axles or trailers with silage sides on to go from boat to shed. Really short draw, wouldn't have to go into c1. Easy enough job but nearly as boring as watching paint dry.

Yes you can but to get them to deal with you can be the issue. Your quantity is so small it’s not worth there time dealing with you . I know when millers are buying it . If they can haul it straight from the boat it’s x price . But boat has a certain time frame to be unloaded if you can’t keep up it goes to the sheds but there’s extra charges per ton for that .

Handy haulage 😂
Tractors and trailers are used in a few ports to draw to the sheds like there, Dublin and Strokestown in New Ross but they can't be used in Belview because the sheds are outside the confines of the port area and they'd have to go on the public road, in one case only about 100 metres but enough to earn the wrath of the guardians of the law and the IRHA.

That bucket on the crane makes the track machine looks very small, and Id say it could be a 20 tonner?

FH 215 I think. There was a JCB 20t doing another bay on the ship. On busy days/week, a friend of ours sends down his 22t as well. Had seen a 416 loaded in and an L150
 
An aul fella once said to me "if you see everyone else planting pig's heads then plant pig's feet." He could have been senile, or on drugs, but that never stopped me listening to anyone before. Seeing as everyone else seems to be giving up hedgecutting I have cunningly moved in the opposite direction after a hiatus of 20 years. If it doesn't work out I'll trade it in against a tweed jacket and give teaching a bash, I can regale the youngsters with all my tales of catastrophic failure :lol:
