4 Ton Hopper
The latest development in the McAree Engineering Ltd animal feed handling range is our 4 ton hopper. Designed to store and discharge grains, cereals and home mixed animal feed the V-Mac 4 ton hopper is ideal for any farmer who needs an efficient way to handle their feed.
The weatherproof silo is constructed out of 3mm folded galvanised sheeting which provides increased body strength and hot dipped galvanised legs to promote long life. Stainless steel bolts are used throughout.
The rubber sealed lid can be easily opened using a smooth rack & pinion system which can lock the lid in a open position. The lid folds above the body of the hopper which means that it can be positioned tight against a wall or shed.
The Hopper can be filled with an 8ft bucket. With 91m clearance under the discharge the hopper can emptied using barrows, bags or buckets up to 8ft wide. An integrated filler pipe also allows the hopper to be filled by blowing feed in the conventional way.
