All our silos are custom built so that we can ensure that all your requirements are fully met. Some common extras that customers require include:
- Painting the silo to match sheds or to meet planning regulations – in either brown, grey or green.
- For filling loader buckets or half ton bins – extra height under the cone (providing up to 5 foot 6 inches).
- Auger connections – we can fit augur connections to suit any auger box. We can also supply auger boxes to your specification in mild, galvanized or stainless steel. When we fit an auger connection we can also fit a 6 inch bagging chute on the cone.
- Filler and Breather pipes – can be fitted anywhere around the silo to suit your yard layout.
- Ladder with safety cage can be fitted as required.
- Extra sight glasses can be fitted as required.
- Heavy duty lid with Safety Rail can be supplied – this is particularly useful if you are going to fill the silo with a conveyor.
- Conveyor hatches – can be fitted to larger silos.
- Hoppers – can also be used to connect to augers

Silo Customization
The outlets on your V-Mac silo are at standard height, however we can raise or lower these to suit your particular requirements. (E.g. some customers prefer the auger connection to be at a certain height to suit their parlour set up.
Double doors (enclosed silos only)
We can install double doors on your V-Mac silo given you 70-inch-wide access under the cone. This can allow you to fill a loader bucket or with extra height give you somewhere to store a Quad!
Again, these are usually on the front right leg of a legged V-Mac silo or on the right of the door on an enclosed silo. However, we can position them wherever suits your particular needs. It is always worth checking to see how the meal truck will access the silo and where is the best position to site the pipes.
We can fit 10-inch pipe installations to your V-Mac silo which can allow you to fill bags, buckets or loader buckets. The obviously work better with some product, like pellets as against wet mixes like blends or rations. They are connected higher up on the side of the cone so they will always have to be emptied out of the bottom of the cone.
