Additional Information
- All HE Silos Commercial Grade Grain Silos come standard with one sight glass in the top barrel ring and all Ladders, Cages and Walkways are designed and made to meet Australian Standards AS1657-2018
- Wheat capacity based on typical consolidated/compacted bulk density in silo.
- Max. Load based on engineering design for wheat at 800kg/m3 with a 5% compaction – this load will vary for products with differing properties.
- Alternative (non-Standard) Outlet heights are optional on all models.
- Auger lengths are indicative only and are based on 35Æ angle. As differing auger brands elevate to different angles, always check individual auger height.
- Pilot/Escort vehicle requirements may vary in certain locations (e.g. metropolitan areas).
- We advise and recommend all customers consult with a structural engineer regarding their foundations. Foundations are not covered by warranty and it is imperative to get this right. In most cases, sites will need to be excavated and road base and crusher dust laid to ensure minimal movement post-construction. We will not proceed with a job if we deem the foundations to be insufficient.
- All quotes and prices are less concrete, concreter and crane hire. Concrete and crane hire will need to be organised ahead of time and pre booked with your nearest supplier so they are ready for the day.
- Please Note – Larger commercial models are available, enquire below.

Unlocking The Value of HE Silos’ Commercial Grade Silos in your Grain Storage Operations
The value of commercial grade silos extends far beyond their initial cost, encompassing a range of benefits that contribute to the efficiency, profitability, and sustainability of grain storage operations. Firstly, these silos offer unparalleled durability and reliability, thanks to their construction from hi-tensile galvanized steel and adherence to strict quality standards. This durability translates into longevity, reducing the need for frequent repairs or replacements and ultimately lowering operational costs over time. Moreover, the gas-tight seal provided by these silos ensures optimal conditions for grain storage, minimizing losses due to spoilage, pests, or moisture damage. Additionally, the versatility of commercial grade silos allows for customization to suit specific grain types and storage requirements, providing flexibility for agricultural enterprises. Beyond mere storage, these silos can also serve as effective tools for grain management, segregation, and even fumigation, further enhancing their value proposition. Overall, the investment in commercial grade silos represents not just a financial expenditure, but a strategic asset that contributes to the success and sustainability of grain storage operations.
