  • Engineered roof and stiffeners for maximum load-bearing stability. 
  • Mechanised loading and discharge systems for easy operation. 
  • Customised ladders, gantries and safety features for user access. 

Each silo can hold a working volume of up to 11,888m³, making it suitable for both small and large-scale applications.

 

Versatile Storage Solutions for Multiple Sectors 

 

While Brice-Baker silos are best known in the agricultural industry, they also serve a range of commercial and industrial applications. 

Common uses include: 

  • Grain and oilseed storage for farms and co-operatives. 
  • Food and beverage processing where dry bulk materials must be safely contained.
