With reference to the discussion about bee loaders. There is a new
bee loader being marketed in the US & Canada. It is the "Billett Easy
Loader". The loader was designed by an Australian beekeeper Mr. Trevor
Billett who won the "Inventor of the Year Award 1986". The folks who
manufacture the loader (Darrell & Karen Copeman) had a display at the
American Beekeepers Federation convention in Colorado Springs last year
and also attended beekeeping convention /meetings in Canada afterwards.
It is our understanding that they plan to be in attendance at the ABF
convention again this year.
There are several different models available. All models have:
electric winching, full leveling system (manual or hydraulic), split
booms (allows easy maneuverability around obstacles), fully extended
boom reach to 4.8m/15ft.9in. (governed by width of truck), lifting
cradle is winch operated and is fully adjustable to take various box
heights, fork tynes on cradle are easily removed and relocated for
different positioning on boxes, "hand hold" lifters can replace the
tynes for lifting boxes with hand inserts.
We have information available about this loader and order forms
should anyone be interested further.
