Good silage starts with good storage.
Our 90′ x 45′ Silage Pit provides plenty of covered space for storing and protecting silage throughout the year. With concrete panels included as part of the structure, it’s built to handle the day-to-day reality of filling, feeding and working around the clamp.
The standard dimensions have been chosen to provide generous storage capacity while keeping costs sensible, making it a popular option for farms looking to increase storage without the expense of a fully bespoke design.
As a guide, this pit can typically accommodate over 750 tonnes of silage, depending on crop type and how it’s managed.
Ideal for
- Grass silage storage
- Wholecrop silage storage
- Reducing spoilage and waste
- Improving feed quality
- Farms looking to increase storage capacity
