Ahrens’ new All-Rounder silo is helping farmers seamlessly switch grains, fertilisers, seeds and stockfeed.
South Australian silo manufacturer Ahrens has a long history of storage innovation. The fifth-generation family business has a 120-years or experience in delivering equipment Australian farmers can rely on.
The new All-Rounder silo is one of the latest innovations from Ahrens. Designed to withstand some of the most demanding conditions rural Australia can throw at it, the silo allows farmers to seamlessly switch grains, fertilisers, seeds and stockfeed.
Ahrens’ recent addition of the All-Rounder silo also represents a significant advancement in on-farm storage, offering enhanced capacity, easy operation and improved efficiency for farmers.
Silo success
Ahrens strives to be an industry leader for agricultural storage through high quality design, fabrication and installation solutions.
It takes a hands-on, customer-centric approach, using extensive experience to secure the best possible prices and protect customer investments for the long-term.
The company’s flat bottom silos are the result of this effort, providing flexibility and speed during harvest, while maintaining grain quality with multiple aeration options.
The silos are available in many sizes, ranging from 700t to more than 2000t, and are engineered to Australian standards for rural and commercial applications.
The GasLock seal on the flat bottom system offers high-quality pest protection as well as many other easy-to-use features to assist monitoring, loading and unloading of crop quickly.

Ahrens also supplies transportable silos, which range from 55t to 126t. Each arrives fully assembled and ready for use, available with a range of cone options.
Standard features of the transportable silo include Ahrens’ Thermosiphon fumigation system with a ground-operated phosphine box, UV-stabilised one-piece moulded oil bath pressure relief valve, ring beam to enable effective clean out and ALUZINC steel silo sidewalls and roof construction.
Local manufacturing
With factories across Australia in Sheoak Log in South Australia, Tarranyurk in Victoria, Gilgandra in New South Wales, and Goombungee in Queensland, Ahrens helps farmers maintain optimal performance throughout harvest.
The company’s process allows for larger production runs, increasing the capacity of its factories, leading to a speedy turnaround time for rural infrastructure projects.
Ahrens has also partnered with equipment manufacturer Brandt to provide access to high-performance grain augers, belt conveyors, hydraulic winch options, electric clutches and advanced mover systems.
With the Brandt equipment on-hand, Ahrens can offer grain storage infrastructure all under one roof.
It also offers a five-year warranty, with local teams providing continuous support on silo maintenance and servicing to ensure storage remains in peak condition after being delivered.
