UNMATCHED ROOF SYSTEM

CLEAR SPAN ROOF SYSTEM

The Big Bin® Series offers an enormous, clear span roof system designed for strong winds, snow loads, temperature cables and high volume filling equipment. The 30° roof allows for optimum filling, and the huge deck at the peak easily accepts today’s ever larger catwalks and higher capacity filling equipment.

The 11” or 15” deep continuous I-beam rafters from eave to peak provide a strong framework for roof loads. This roof system is capable of supporting uniform loads of 50,000-70,000 lbs. (depending on model) at the peak and 40 lbs. per sq. ft. ground snow load.

INNOVATIVE ROOF SYSTEM

STRONG STANDING SEAM PANEL

System uses a “Standing Seam” panel to elevate the roof fasteners above the roof valley. The roof panels are attached to the roof skelton with standing seam roof straps.

RIGIDIZED ROOF PANELS

Roof panels are rigidized for longer life and attach with numerous bolts to the wall system through a continuous angle at the eave. This prevents panels from tearing loose in high wind conditions.
