The Sukup grain bucket elevator is built for high-capacity, reliable grain movement in commercial and agricultural material handling systems. It is designed for gentle, low impact grain handling, helping preserve grain quality throughout the process.
Key features include UHMW shaft seals, heavy-duty rubber belting, and precision-welded trunking. The low profile discharge head reduces grain damage by allowing a smooth flow along the hood contour. This bucket elevator for grain is built to last and performs consistently in demanding operations.

The big push that I’ve got – other than the dryers, the dryers are number 1 – are the power sweeps. The power sweeps have really sold great. They’ve been used to the competition and they’ve found out how much better our product is.
