Cut Freight Costs and Get High-Capacity Storage Anywhere in Australia

If you manage a construction site or a batching plant, you know the biggest headache with traditional silos is simply getting them there.

Moving a fully welded steel tank is expensive. You need wide-load permits, pilot vehicles, and expensive cranes. Plus, if your site has a narrow gate or is in a remote location, getting a pre-built silo in is almost impossible.

Batchcrete International solves this problem.

Our Modular Panel Silos are the “flat-pack” solution to these logistical headaches. Because they are delivered as a kit of stackable panels, we can fit a massive amount of storage onto a standard truck. This saves you thousands in freight costs and lets you install high-capacity storage (up to 2000 tonnes) anywhere in Australia.

Why Site Managers Are Switching to Modular

Traditional welded silo storage solutions are fine for some jobs, but modular panels are the smarter choice for modern sites. Here is why:

• Slash Your Freight Costs: Since the silo arrives in stacks of panels, you aren’t paying for a convoy of trucks to ship “empty space.”
• Install Anywhere: Tight access? Indoor warehouse? Remote mine site? If a standard truck can get to your site, we can get a portable storage silo there.
• Expand As You Grow: You can add more rings (ferrules) to increase capacity, or dismantle the whole thing and move it to your next project.
• Fast Assembly: The panels bolt together securely. We provide clear manuals so your crew can build it, or our team can handle the installation for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the difference between a welded silo and a bolted silo?

A welded silo is built as one solid piece in a factory and shipped to you on a truck. A bolted (modular) silo comes in separate parts and is built right on your site. Bolted silos are usually better because they are much cheaper to ship.

2. Do I need a permit to install a silo?

Yes, usually. Because bulk material storage silos are tall structures and tend to be heavy, you may require approval from your local council. However, because bolted silos are portable, they may qualify for the status of “temporary structures” to get easier approval.

3. How do you prevent silos from getting too moist?

We use rubber gaskets between the metallic sheets to prevent rain from coming in. We will also install a particular filter on top of the vent. The purpose is to allow the escape of air when you are filling the silo.

4. Can I use the same silo for different materials?

Yes, but you must clean it out completely before switching. Also, you have to be careful with how the material flows. Sometimes you need a specific shape or tool at the bottom of the silo to help the material come out smoothly.
