Sukup Support Towers are an excellent choice for supporting bucket elevators, catwalks, bulk weighers, cleaners, and distributors. When used to support a bucket elevator, the tower eliminates the need for guy cables that clutter your facility and eat up valuable real estate. Support towers are designed to take the required loads needed to keep your facility running smoothly.

Sukup Manufacturing has truly developed a zero-entry bin sweep. With our material handlers, particularly our supervisor - he coordinates the entire bin sweeping operation - with him not having to get in and out of that bin. I'm not worried about getting the corn out of the bin it's more keeping the employees safe. Any time we can sweep a bin and not have to get into it that's a lot better.
