The design of Sukup Heavy-Duty Hopper Bottom Bins is among the strongest in the industry, with wide corrugations, extra-strong stiffeners, and heavy-duty hopper panels. The tank portion of our hopper bottom units features the same quality sidewall construction as standard Sukup Bins as well as the same extra-strong roof. Heavy-Duty Hopper Bins may be mounted on overhead super structures for loading of semis or train cars, used as a working bin, or used to store cool, dry grain for an extended period of time.

Standard Features

  • 15’ -30’, 3-12 rings tall; 36', 10-18 rings tall; 42'; and 48' also available
  • 2,000 - 64,600 bushel capacity
  • 16” Unload outlet is standard, 22” unload outlet available
  • 3/8" or 1/2" bolts round-head bolts used on hopper panels prevent grain from bridging
  • May be mounted on overhead super structure or used as a working bin
  • Heavy-Duty Hopper Bins are designed for storage and aeration only, NOT DRYING; wet grain (over 16% moisture) may be stored short-term for a maximum of 72 hours; aeration is needed for storage

Hopper Features

  • 70 ksi tensile strength steel wide flange legs for extra-strong and stable base
  • L-shaped cross-bracing between the legs adds even more stability
  • Hopper Bottom – The 45o hopper is made of heavy-gauge, galvanized steel for strength and durability
  • Round head bolts on hopper portion minimize grain build-up
  • Exclusive inner apron prevents grain from accumulating on the ledge where the sidewall and bottom cone join
  • Rack and pinion opener comes standard on all Heavy-Duty Hopper Bins

  • 4" wide corrugation, 44" tall sidewall sheets
  • Bolts are SAE Grade 8.0 for added strength with JS1000® or equivalent coating for exceptional corrosion protection
  • 70 ksi tensile strength steel

Roof Features

  • 15'-36' standard roof peak load rating is 5,000 lbs., evenly distributed on peak ring as pure vertical load with uniformly distributed roof snow load calculated from 40 psf ground snow zone or 105 mph wind zone as defined by ASCE7-10 Code
  • Rigidized roof panel with 3" ribs that serve as rafters, strengthening the roof sheets
  • Continuous eave clip attachment provides a strong roof to sidewall connection
  • Roof rings are standard on Sukup bins 18' and larger; exclusive, roof ring clips (U.S. Patent #7,654,048) ensure that roof rings stay in place for years to come
  • 20" x 35.5" oval manhole opening is a comfortable fit for most operators
  • Manhole cover is held securely in place by special latches; when open, the lid lays flat against the roof, eliminating the mess of water and soggy bees wings that can accumulate
  • 38" peak opening provides approximately 8 ft2 of air exhaust area
  • Peak lid cover is mounted on steel rods to allow it to slide open and closed and prevent it from blowing around on windy days
