Built to Perform
PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT
Grain Bin Roof
Our grain bin roof features a 3” (76.2 mm) tall rib with over and under lap profiles ensures a precise fit. Three bend rib profiles are also incorporated in the new design for increased strength to stand up even in the harshest environments.
Wide Flange I-Beam Sub Structure
Wide flange I-Beam sub structure has the strength and durability to support the heavy loads of hopper tanks year after year. Our sub structure is customizable to meet your specific clearance needs and can be designed to your wind and seismic requirements.
Fully Stiffened Bin Design
Stiffeners on the sidewall provide increased strength and durability to stand up to the demands of frequent usage.
Optional
Flashing Kit
An optional flashing kit allows for a smooth transition for grain from the sidewall of the bin to the hopper, preventing material hang-ups during unloading.

Cubic Meters based on 28 degree angle of repose.
All commercial bins are designed for the storage of grain and other free-flowing materials weighing up to 52 lbs. per cubic foot. Maximum bushel capacity based on 6% compaction. Maximum storage capacities reflect grain peaked on center, using an angle of repose of 28 degrees.
Other ring heights available in some diameters. Peak heights shown for 30 degree slope roofs.
Typical Grain Densities: Corn approximately 721 kg/m^3 (45 lb/ft^3); Wheat approximately 800 kg/m^3 (50 lb/ft^3); Rice approximately 640 kg/m^3 (40 lb/ft^3)
