The Sukup Commercial Bins were built to satisfy today's massive grain storage needs. More grain means more bushels, and that means bigger bins. We’ve answered the call for more storage with our 135’, 156’, and 165’ Commercial Bins. The 135' was the first ever fully-erected free-span bin to hold more than one million bushels followed by the 156' several years later. The 165’ is currently the largest free span bin in the world. With 1.4 , 2, and 2.25 million bushel capacities respectively, you can maximize your storage space, while minimizing the number of bins.

What first brought us on board with Sukup was the issues we were having with the previous supplier of our dryers. They just weren’t quality. They just didn’t hold up. All of our dryer customers we’re able to service a lot better because of the higher quality products that Sukup’s providing us.
