Provided is a haulage arrangement (10) comprising a frame (12) configured for operative attachment to a suitable tractor (8), and defining a tray (14) for operatively receiving particulate material (not shown) therein. The tray (14) comprises two side walls (16) separated by a loadbearing lower section (18) with a headwall (20) at a head end (22) of the tray (14) and slidably arranged in-between the side walls (16). Also included is an urger (26) at the head end (22) configured to operatively urge the headwall (20) to slide across the lower section (18). Arrangement (10) further includes an elastically flexible floor (28) slidably arranged on the lower section (18) and fast at a first end (30) with the (headwall 20), as well as a retractor (34) arranged at an ejection end (24) of the tray (14) and configured to continuously retract a second end (32) of the floor underneath the lower section (18) whilst the headwall (20) is urged. The retractor (34) is further configured to agitate the floor (28) during retraction to counteract adhesion of particulate material ejected from the tray (14).
