We offer a full line of Gentle Handling Bucket Elevators with capacities that range from 150 to 3,000 bushels per hour. Our Gentle Handling line uses low profile buckets on short spacing. This along with our tapered inlet encourages product to go directly into the cup. We also use a continuous discharge pattern instead of spiratic. Our head sections are manufactured with an elongated design to minimized contact. Our goal is to get 100% of the product in the bucket and discharge at the slowest possible speed to maximize the gentle handling ability of the leg.
