On rugged job sites, needs change quickly. Mining, oil and gas, and agricultural operations often run into situations that require an increase in storage, and fast. Vertical and horizontal silos are the solution to these problems, providing mobile, on-location storage. Here at Littlejohn, we're ready to connect you with the right silo for your business.

Both types of silos possess unique aspects that are worth considering. For example, vertical silos often occupy less space on a job site because they stand straight up. They discharge through a valve at their bottom and are typically gravity fed. However, they often require more time to set up and are less mobile than their horizontal counterparts.

Horizonal silos, also known as pigs, are more akin to a traditional tank trailer. With wheels an a chassis, truck can easily haul them to exactly where they need to be. Unloading is also a breeze with straightforward access to discharge valves at ground level. However, these silos usually need a blower to unload and take up more space than vertical silos.

We carry portable silos that customers often use for storing cement, but can also store fly ash, lime, and other bulk powders. Our cement pigs and mobile cement silos are manufactured by respected companies such as Retesa and Gallegos. With the backing of these manufacturers, you know your equipment was built to high standards and is, therefore, reliable.
