Sukup Support Towers are the ultimate solution for providing reliable support to bucket elevators and related equipment. These towers eliminate the need for guying cables, which can clutter facilities and occupy valuable space, providing a cleaner, more organized setup. Sukup Support Towers are engineered to not only support elevator legs but also accommodate additional equipment like bulk weighers, cleaners, and distributors, either inside or outside the tower.
Constructed with hot-dipped galvanized steel and heavy-duty bolted hardware, these towers offer exceptional durability and resistance to environmental wear. The knock-down design enables economical shipping and easy assembly, with modules available in 5', 10', and 20' sections to allow for tailored configurations. Computer-engineered and strength-staged for wind, seismic, and equipment loads, Sukup Support Towers are designed to meet high standards of structural integrity.
Optional features, such as access bracing for catwalks and conveyors, wraparound or switchback stairs, and hoist beams, provide flexibility and convenience for diverse operational needs. With a combination of robust construction, adaptability, and ease of use, Sukup Support Towers are an ideal choice for streamlining grain handling facilities.
