Q: How can these metal Flow Rack Conveyors be “repurposed”?

INBOX: “Did you know old school busses are ‘repurposed’ by watermelon farmers? ACE: 1) Windows great for hand loading and unloading, 2) They are a light weight chassis so less soil compaction, 3) Tight turn radius and short wheel base relative to length of vehicle.”Greg Walther
