Standing Tall:INDIANA GRAIN HANDLER ADDS STEEL STORAGE DESIGNED TO FIT INSIDE LIMITED SPACE

摘要

Limited storage space has been a perennial challenge atHanenkratt Grain Co.'s branch elevator in Idaville, IN(574-943-3215)."We typically ship out everything as soon as we receive it," says Brad Smock, location manager, who has been with the company since 1996.One reason is that there simply isn't anywhere to store grain on the ground at the site, which is located right off U.S. Highway 24 in the middle oftown.In fact, there wasn't even a lot of room to build more storage, so Hanenkratt Grain chose to build as vertically as possible in 2017, with a new Brock 78-foot-diameter corrugated steel tank standing 107 feet tall at the eave and 126 feet tall at the peak. The tank is rated to hold approximately 421,000 bushels.
