Benefits Behlen silo

1.Unmatched roof system

Topping off the Behlen bin is one of the strongest roof systems available. The Behlen roof is designed to stand up to high winds, snow loads, temperature cables, and heavy loads from overhead equipment. Pitched at 30° for optimum filling, and provided with a large deck at the peak, the Behlen roof is designed to stand up to demanding requirements of commercial storage facilities.

2.Uniquely designed wall system

The Behlen flat-sided (trapezoidal) corrugation uses a flat surface for bolt-to-wall panel
connection. This flat-sided configuration provides for maximum strength while giving a
superior weather seal where the bolt, washer, and wall sheet connect.

3.Superior panel strength

The vertical seam lines have an extensive overlap with up to seven rows of bolts. The precision manufactured panels speed assembly resulting in lower erection cost.

4.Eave tension ring

A full circle ring at the eave stabilizes the roof and walls under all loading conditions.
The heavy rings are fabricated with welded end plates to provide unmatched strength at the eave.
This design supports the non uniform loads created by snowdrifts, side draw systems, high winds, and earthquake forces.

5.Ladders and platforms

Behlen now offers as standard equipment double wide eave and rest platforms, along with hoop and strap safety cage.

6. Safety rail and roof stairs

The Behlen Big Bin™ series can be supplied with an optional peak safety rail. The rail encloses the flat peak area for added safety protection.
The Behlen hot-dipped galvanized roof stairs come in pre-assembled sections. The mounting brackets and handrails are easily attached and make quick work of installation on the bin roof. The full tread steps and handrails offer safe and secure access from eave to peak
