Automatic chute opener
Daleco Industries has brought the ease of automatic garage door opening technology to grain chutes.
The electronic Grain Chute Opener uses a hand-held transmitter to signal the 12-volt, DC motor on the chute opener to open and close the door. It works from a radius of 30 metres.
The device saves ladder climbing and keeps the operator away from dust and moving machinery. It is splash proof and safe in rain and snow but it can’t be submerged in water.
Instructions for mounting the unit are included in the package.
