Everything You Need to Know About Steel Grain Trailers
When selecting the right grain trailer for your operation, the choice often boils down to aluminum vs. steel.
While both materials have advantages, steel grain trailers (SGTs) offer distinct benefits, making them a superior choice for many farmers. Here’s an in-depth look at why Demco’s steel grain trailers stand out and how they can enhance your farming operation.
Demco's Commitment to Steel Grain Trailers
Demco has a long history of excellence, with over 2 decades of proven design for our steel grain trailer line, proudly carrying on the proven design of Maurer Manufacturing. Our commitment to maintaining and improving this line ensures each trailer meets the highest quality and performance standards. With Demco, you’re investing in reliability and durability that have been tested and trusted over many years.
Economic Benefits
One of the key advantages of choosing a steel grain trailer is cost-effectiveness. As steel prices continue to drop from their record highs, the price gap between steel and aluminum grain trailers widens, further solidifying steel as the more cost-effective choice.
Durability and Strength
Steel grain trailers are built to endure. Unlike aluminum grain trailers (ALGTs), which can crack over time, steel trailers are renowned for their strength and durability. They excel in field conditions, handling rough terrain without the risk of structural damage. This makes them ideal for entering fields and covering short distances, providing robust performance when it matters most.
Practical Design Features
Demco’s steel grain trailers are engineered for optimal efficiency and functionality. Featuring a 35-degree hopper slope, our design ensures seamless cleanout, even in corners. The hopper doors are crafted for easy operation, matching the convenience of other leading brands. Additionally, our trailers boast a specialized ag hopper design, providing a generous 25-inch ground-to-hopper clearance for operations requiring a sweep auger, surpassing industry standards.
