In the South African sugar industry sugarcane is usually transported from field to mill in spiller vehicles. At the mill, spilling of the load is effected by chains, on to which the cane bundles are loaded in the field. The system may result in revenue loss from cane lost en route, cane remaining in the vehicle afer spillage, littering penalties and cleaning costs, and time lost in vehicle cleaning. Experiments were conducted in which the chains were replaced by a wide canvas blanket supported by nylon straps. Better efficiency and cost savings were achieved.
