Double DumPit System

Many of our customers choose to install two DumPits in-line, which allows for a two-hopper semi-trailer to drive across and drop the entire load in as little as two minutes. Our most common sizes for double DumPit Systems are 500 or 650 bushels, but are available in any size. We customize spacing between pits to match discharge hoppers.
