Bin is easy to ship
Westeel has introduced the SeedStor-K, a hopper-bottom bin that has a unique design allowing the cone to be shipped flat and assembled on site.
The design saves transportation costs.
Because the cone is built as a part of the bin, assembly is quicker, more precise and produces a more dependable product. Like the original SeedStor, the bin is appropriate for storage of identity preserved seed and higher density crops such as durum and peas.
There are no internal stiffeners, allowing superior cleanout. The SeedStor-K can be bought as a package, including the new removable hopper-to-ground ladder for improved child safety.
