Overhead Feed Bins
Overhead Feed Bins: What Sets Tucker & Sons Apart
When ranchers search for overhead feed bins, they are not just looking for a place to store feed — they are looking for a system that will hold up, perform daily, and last for years. At Tucker & Sons, overhead feed bins are built with that exact purpose in mind.
What Is an Overhead Feed Bin?
An overhead feed bin is an elevated bulk feed storage system designed to use gravity for efficient feed distribution. Instead of handling feed manually, ranchers can rely on a controlled flow system that reduces labor and keeps operations consistent.
Overhead feed bins are commonly used in cattle operations because they:
Reduce feed waste
Keep feed dry and protected
Improve daily efficiency
Eliminate unnecessary handling
Available Sizes of Overhead Feed Bins
Tucker & Sons builds overhead feed bins in multiple sizes to match different operation needs.
Most common sizes include: (More sizes offered)
10 ton overhead feed bin
24 ton overhead feed bin
30 ton overhead feed bin
Each overhead feed bin can be designed based on your operation, whether you are feeding a smaller herd or managing a larger-scale setup.
Choosing the right size depends on:
Number of cattle
Feeding frequency
Storage needs
Built with Heavy-Duty Steel
One of the biggest differences in overhead feed bins is material quality. Not all bins are built the same.
Tucker & Sons overhead feed bins are constructed using American Steel:
12 gauge steel for the bin body
6×6×3/16 square tube legs
Reinforced framing for long-term durability
This matters because thinner materials may cost less upfront, but they often fail faster under real ranch conditions.
With Tucker & Sons, the goal is simple:
👉 Build overhead feed bins that last.
Engineered Freeze-Proof Bottom Door
One of the most common problems with overhead feed bins — especially in colder climates — is freezing at the discharge point. When the bottom door freezes shut, feeding becomes difficult, inconsistent, or completely stopped.
Tucker & Sons addresses this issue directly.
Our overhead feed bins feature a freeze-proof bottom door system engineered to:
Prevent feed from locking up in cold weather
Maintain consistent flow even during freezing conditions
Reduce downtime and frustration during winter months
This is not an afterthought — it is built into the design. Ranchers don’t have time to fight frozen equipment, and this feature ensures your feed system keeps working when you need it most.
Designed for Real Ranch Use
Overhead feed bins are used daily — which means design matters just as much as materials. As ranchers ourselves. We use our bins on a regular basis.
Tucker & Sons focuses on:
Clean feed flow (no constant clogging issues)
Practical access for loading and use
Strong support structures
Layouts that actually fit your setup
These are not mass-produced, one-size-fits-all bins. Each overhead feed bin is built with real-world use in mind.
