There are two different types of Rainger Linear four wheel cart: Standard or Swing Around. The Standard
Rainger Linear can be a Center Feed or End Feed system. The Swing Around Rainger Linear has a swivel on
the cart and can only be an End Feed system. A closed delivery hose drag or open delivery ditch feed may be
used with either type of cart. The closed delivery hose drag cart may have a side or center inlet. Each Standard
Rainger Linear and Swing Around Rainger Linear machine has a free standing span located approximately
in the center of the system. The placement of the tower boxes varies depending on the type of machine and
