FAQ
Questions customers ask about the SLG 56
Clear answers about equipment fit, screening materials, mesh options, dimensions, warranty, shipping and bucket width for the DeSite SLG 56 Mini Screener.
What is the DeSite SLG 56 Mini Screener?
The DeSite SLG 56 Mini Screener is a compact topsoil and rock screener designed specifically for mini-sized equipment and small-scale screening projects. It is built for operators who need practical screening capacity without moving up to a larger screener.
What equipment works with the SLG 56?
The SLG 56 is designed for mini excavators, stand-on skid steers and mini tractors. It is a strong fit for compact tractor owners, landscapers, property owners, hobby farmers, composters, rental companies, nursery centers and other small-equipment operators.
How much material can the SLG 56 screen per hour?
The SLG 56 is built for practical small-site production, with typical output in the 5 to 10 yards per hour range. Your actual production will depend on the material, moisture level, mesh size, loading method and operator workflow.
What materials can the SLG 56 screen?
The SLG 56 can screen topsoil, sand, compost, wood mulch, pea stone, septic rock, road gravel, landscape stone, ground asphalt, crushed concrete, erosion control rock and traction sand. It can also be configured for other similar soil, aggregate and recycled materials.
What does the C spring suspension system do?
The SLG 56 uses a C spring suspension system to create the screen deck movement needed for screening. This helps the deck react as material is loaded and moved across the mesh.
How easy is the SLG 56 to move around a property or job site?
The removable wheel system and quick disconnect hitch are designed to make the SLG 56 easier to move, position and store. The hitch can be detached during screening and reattached when the machine needs to be moved.
What mesh options are available for the SLG 56?
The SLG 56 is available with square and elongated mesh patterns. Square mesh is useful for consistent product sizing, while elongated mesh can help increase production and handle higher-moisture material more effectively.
Which mesh should I choose for wet material?
Elongated mesh is generally the better choice for wetter or more challenging material because the longer openings give material more room to pass through. Square mesh is commonly used when a more controlled finished product size is the priority.
What are the main machine dimensions?
The SLG 56 is 74 inches wide and 61.4 inches high. Its screen deck is 63 inches wide by 66 inches long, with 33 square feet of screen deck surface area and a 45 to 30 degree deck angle.
How much does the SLG 56 weigh?
The SLG 56 has a listed total weight of 882 lbs. This compact weight helps make it practical for smaller equipment and properties where larger screeners may not be a good fit.
What warranty does the SLG 56 include?
The SLG 56 includes a 5-year structural warranty. Warranty parts are covered during the warranty period, helping protect your investment and keep the machine working when it matters.
Does the SLG 56 ship assembled or flat packed?
The SLG 56 is designed with shipping efficiency in mind and can be delivered flat packed. Assembly is straightforward for most customers with basic equipment and space to work.
What bucket width information do I need before requesting pricing?
Bucket width matters because it helps match the SLG 56 to your machine and loading setup. For most recommendations, the key detail is whether your bucket is 0-60 inches wide or over 60 inches.
