Re: Wet Sand Transport
correction:
5' is 1.5 m
10 mesh = 1.9 mm
2 tons is approx 1 m3
1 day = 8 hrs
Rate = 1/8 = 0.125 m3/hr = 125 ltr/hr
1 bucket = 8 ltrs # 16 kg
125/8 = 15 buckets/hr
1 bucket every 4 minutes
A small mobile beltconveyor (like farmers use)? ■

It's looking like a bucket on the end of a rope; like Wimpey's do.
Oops! Nearly forgot the shovel.
Then again: if you get a tall enough operator, or long enough shovel, you can save on the bucket.

And the rope!

A small little Giant paddle grain conveyor will work nicely, galvanised with paddles flat conveyor chain v-belt pulley and belt drive for chain drive can be done with a gas engine or a 110 volt GFI protected electric motor.
