The JaHam JT20 Grain Truck Probe is the largest truck probe in the JaHam product line and is designed for processing plants, high-volume grain elevators and grain receiving operations where dependable daily sampling is essential.
Built around all-hydraulic operation, a core-style probe system and multiple vacuum system options, the JT20 provides the capacity and durability needed for demanding grain receiving environments.
For facilities handling substantial truck traffic throughout the year or experiencing intense receiving activity during harvest, the JT20 provides a rugged high-volume grain truck sampling system designed for regular operation.
Grain Truck Probe for High-Volume Elevators
High-volume grain receiving creates different equipment requirements than lower-volume or satellite operations. When trucks are continuously moving through a facility, the sampling system becomes an important part of the receiving process.
The JaHam JT20 is designed for applications where truck probe dependability and sampling capability are required day after day.
Potential JT20 applications include:
- High-volume grain elevators
- Large cooperative receiving locations
- Grain processing plants
- Agricultural processing facilities
- Large feed and ingredient operations
- High-traffic grain receiving locations
- Ethanol plants
The JT20 can be incorporated into a complete grain sampling system with vacuum, sample delivery and other accessory configurations based on the needs of the facility.
Built for Dependable Daily Sampling
During busy receiving periods, a truck probe may be used repeatedly throughout the day. Equipment reliability becomes especially important when delays at the sampling point can affect traffic movement through the rest of the facility.
The JT20 uses all-hydraulic operation and incorporates ball bearings at major wear points. The system is operated using a standard handheld joystick, allowing the operator to control probe positioning during the sampling process.
A maximum rotation of 240 degrees gives the system flexibility for a variety of receiving layouts and truck positions.
Core-Style Truck Probe Sampling
The JaHam JT20 utilizes a core-style grain probe system for collecting samples from incoming truck loads.
Truck probe sampling allows the operator to position the probe at selected locations within the load, helping the facility collect material for grading, quality evaluation and other grain testing procedures.
Multiple vacuum system options are available, allowing the overall sampling system to be configured based on probe location, sample destination and facility requirements.

When Should You Consider the JT20?
The JT20 should be considered when the sampling demands of a facility have moved beyond a smaller or lower-volume truck probe configuration.
High daily truck counts, larger receiving operations and the need for dependable sampling throughout extended operating periods can make a larger truck probe system the better choice.
Probe selection should also consider the physical requirements of the location, including probe reach, truck positioning, traffic lanes, operator location and sample delivery distance.
JT10 vs. JT20 Grain Truck Probe
The JaHam JT10 is designed primarily for low- to mid-volume facilities and provides greater reach than the smaller JT03.
The JaHam JT20 is the largest JaHam probe and is intended for processing plants and high-volume grain elevator applications where dependable daily operation is a priority.
Facilities considering a JT20 may also want to compare it with the Apollo 17 Grain Truck Probe, Gamet’s Apollo option for high-volume grain handling applications.
Planning a High-Volume Grain Sampling System
A high-volume grain receiving operation should evaluate the complete sampling process rather than selecting a truck probe based on the probe alone.
System planning should consider:
- Average daily truck volume
- Peak harvest truck volume
- Number of traffic lanes
- Truck and trailer configurations
- Probe mounting location
- Required sampling reach
- Operator location and visibility
- Sample collection point
- Vacuum system requirements
- Traffic flow through the facility
- Future receiving capacity
Gamet can assist in evaluating these factors and laying out a truck probe sampling system around the specific requirements of the facility.
