The JaHam JT10 Grain Truck Probe is a durable grain sampling system designed for low- to mid-volume grain handling facilities that need dependable truck sampling without moving into a larger high-volume probe system.
With greater reach and a longer core probe than the JaHam JT03, the JT10 provides additional flexibility for facilities receiving grain by truck while maintaining a rugged, straightforward design built for everyday operation.
The JT10 combines all-hydraulic operation, a core-style probe and multiple vacuum system options to help operators collect grain samples efficiently during the receiving process.
Grain Truck Sampling for Low- to Mid-Volume Facilities
Obtaining a representative sample is an important part of grain receiving, grading and quality control. A properly configured grain truck probe system allows operators to collect samples from multiple areas of a truck load while reducing the amount of manual sampling required around incoming vehicles.
The JaHam JT10 is designed for facilities that need more capability and reach than an entry-level truck probe while still operating at low to moderate truck volumes.
Potential applications include:
- Grain elevators
- Feed mills
- Large farms
- Seed handling facilities
- Agricultural processing facilities
- Grain receiving locations
- Cooperative grain facilities
- Satellite receiving locations
The JT10 can be incorporated into a complete grain sampling system based on the facility layout, traffic flow, receiving location and sample delivery requirements.
Designed for Dependable Grain Receiving
During harvest and other high-traffic periods, grain receiving facilities need equipment that can perform consistently throughout the day.
The JaHam JT10 is ruggedly constructed for regular use and incorporates ball bearings at major wear points. Its hydraulic operation provides controlled movement of the probe while the handheld joystick gives the operator direct control during the sampling process.
With a maximum rotation of 240 degrees, the JT10 can be positioned to accommodate a variety of grain receiving layouts.
Core-Style Grain Probe Sampling
The JT10 uses a core-style grain probe system to collect material from the load.
Truck probe sampling allows the operator to collect samples from selected locations within the truck rather than relying solely on easily accessible grain near the surface of the load.
The collected sample can then be moved through the sampling system for inspection, grading or additional sample preparation depending on the facility’s configuration.
Multiple vacuum system options are available, allowing the truck probe system to be configured around the needs of the individual operation.

When Should You Consider the JT10?
The JT10 may be a good fit when your facility needs a grain truck probe with more reach than the JT03 but does not require the larger system intended for the highest-volume grain receiving operations.
Choosing the correct truck probe depends on more than the number of trucks received each day. Facility layout, driveway configuration, truck positioning, required probe reach, traffic flow and sample handling requirements should also be considered.
Gamet Manufacturing can help evaluate these factors when selecting a truck probe system for a new installation or replacement project.
JT03 vs. JT10 Grain Truck Probe
Both the JaHam JT03 and JT10 are designed for truck grain sampling, but they serve different facility requirements.
The JT03 is Gamet’s more economical truck probe option and is well suited for lower-volume and satellite locations.
The JT10 provides a longer reach and longer core probe, making it a logical next step for facilities that require additional sampling coverage or handle greater truck volume.
For larger processing plants and high-volume grain elevator applications, Gamet also offers larger truck probe configurations.
Planning a Grain Truck Probe Installation
The performance of a truck probe system depends on more than the probe itself. Proper placement is important for maintaining efficient truck movement and allowing operators to reach the necessary areas of incoming loads.
When planning a system, consider:
- Typical truck and trailer sizes
- Truck positioning during sampling
- Probe mounting location
- Required sampling reach
- Traffic direction and flow
- Operator visibility
- Sample delivery location
- Existing structures and equipment
- Future facility expansion
Gamet can assist with evaluating the application and laying out a truck probe system around the facility.

Frequently Asked Questions About the JaHam JT10
What type of facility is the JT10 designed for?
The JT10 is designed primarily for low- to mid-volume facilities that require a durable grain truck probe system with greater reach than the smaller JT03.
Is the JaHam JT10 hydraulic?
Yes. The JT10 features all-hydraulic operation and uses a 2 HP hydraulic pump drive system.
How is the JT10 controlled?
The standard JT10 configuration uses a handheld joystick operator control.
How far can the JT10 rotate?
The JT10 has a maximum rotation of 240 degrees.
Can the JT10 be configured with different vacuum systems?
Yes. Multiple vacuum system options are available depending on the requirements of the sampling installation.
What is the difference between the JT03 and JT10?
The JT10 provides a longer reach and longer core probe than the JT03. This makes it suitable for facilities needing additional coverage while remaining within the low- to mid-volume grain handling range.
Can Gamet help determine whether the JT10 will fit our facility?
Yes. Truck probe selection should take facility layout, traffic flow, truck positioning, probe reach and sample handling requirements into consideration. Contact Gamet to discuss your facility and sampling requirements.
