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.
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.
