thank you for the video. walinga unloader is mfg on hwy 6 north north of guelph. ont. the unlonsading port is CBS in newfoundland it is animal grade feed. does the still unload there? there is also a cement silo on the same dock. does desgagnez still unload here?

If you are talking about the old style, cable pulled, manually steered grain scoops, I can't imagine anyplace is still using them. Skid steers or endloaders are the tools of choice, lowered into the holds. https://youtu.be/KV_1IuLHvWw?t=148 Or vacuum-style systems: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9D9ZbNtgCQ

do any of the elevators on the st lawrence river still use "scoops" to assist when helping to get the last of the grain cargo out of the hold?
