V-Mac Silos – Your Bulk Silo Partner – Silos, Hoppers, Wood Pallet Storage, Meal Bins, Feed Hoppers

Legged Silos

The V-Mac Legged silo is ideal for storing your animal feed. The galvanized strip body is joined together using an interlocking process which gives a smooth wall finish on the inside while the interlocked seam on the outside gives the body added strength. The traditional style of Legged Silo allows easy access to the cone area and potential connections to augers etc.
  • Large inspection window on cone.
  • Access hatch on the cone (18 inch diagonal).
  • Sight glasses – one on the cone and one on the silo body above the cone. Extra sight glasses can be fitted upon request.

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
