Sometimes you don’t need the large storage capacity and giant footprint a grain bin provides. Smaller quantities can be stored and dispensed from a small feed bin that sets up easily and takes up much less space.
The mini feed bin was made for dispensing grain, heating corn, pellets and almost any granular material.
These small grain bins come with a poly boot and slide valve on the bottom and provide 24″ of ground clearance for filling buckets. They’re available in 40 and 65 bushel capacities. The lid and hopper are made of poly material so they won’t ever rust or corrode.
Both sizes use strong galvanized steel walls and a very large lid for easy filling. The lip of the lid drops down over the top of the bin flange to eliminate water from entering. The lid is clamped down with the handle (#4) as shown below.
These bins ship un-assembled to take advantage of the best available shipping rates and do require some assembly. Below are links to the assembly manuals for both sizes:

Installation
In the picture above, a customer has mounted the legs to wood to help support them for display purposes. Many customers ask if the bin can be mounted in the back of a truck. Installing in vehicle isn’t recommended. The momentum of the material held up high during a change of direction or a quick stop can compromise the frame. Those excessive moving loads can be too much during a change of direction. When you have thousands of pounds held up high as they are in this bin, there is a lot of sideways force on the legs and it’s best to be used on the ground.
The feed bin should bolt to a concrete slab to prevent high winds from tipping it when empty. It also adds to the structural integrity of the vertical legs when they’re bolted into place. There are details in the assembly manuals above and here’s a diagram for reference:
When you need to store and protect feed, pellets or really any granular material from the elements or pests, these great little bins are the answer. The 40 bushel holds just over a ton while the larger 65 bushel has just over a 1.5 ton capacity.
The poly hopper section eliminates rust and filling bucket with the gravity feed system is easy to use.
The bins do ship on a pallet through the United States and require a some assembly.
