Abstract

A proppant delivery system has a container-hauling trolley configured to move along a track, a proppant supply station, a proppant discharge station, a container transport pathway and a crane. The proppant supply station is positioned adjacent a first portion of the track. The container-hauling trolley is configured to move along the track to a location adjacent the proppant supply station. The proppant discharge station is positioned adjacent to a second portion of the track. The container-hauling trolley is further configured to move along the track to a location adjacent the proppant discharge station. The container transport pathway extends in spaced relation to the track. The crane has a first crane portion adjacent the proppant discharge station and a second crane portion adjacent the container transport pathway. The crane is configured to transfer a proppant container from the proppant discharge station toward the container transport pathway.
