main auger tubes on GSI's Top Drive augers are made of rugged 14 gauge
galvanized steel and 8" (203.2mm) and 10"(254mm) flighting
is made of heavy duty 7 gauge steel for extended wear. 15' (4.57m)
flighting sections are used on GSI's Top Drive augers which makes
replacement much easier. All flighting is teflon coated to prevent
weathering during shipping or storage and is approved for food grade
applications.

As an option, the flexible bucket spout helps reduce damage to
bin, spout, and auger tube when repositioning the auger and is available
in 3' (.914m) and 5' (1.52m) lengths.
Hydraulic Lift
An optional hydraulic cylinder lift on the undercarriage can easily
raise and lower the auger. The cylinder lift systems also has a
check valve to regulate pressure to insure the auger lowers slowly
in case of a loss in pressure.
