Abstract
A technique facilitates delivery of bulk materials at a desired site, such as a wellsite. According to an embodiment, a silo is pivotably mounted to a trailer, such as an over-the-road trailer. An actuator is coupled between the silo and the trailer to enable transition of the silo between a transverse position for transport and an upright position which facilitates outflow of the bulk material. The system also may comprise various other features used alone or in combination, such as pivotable wings, a foldable trailer, and an adjustable suspension which allows a frame of the trailer to be positioned firmly on the ground.
