FIELD bins that improve farm management efficiency and storage are rolling off the production line in Pyramid Hill.
At least one 62-tonne capacity bin, double the size of most other bins, is being made in Pyramid Hill every week.
Terrick Engineering, the brainchild of Rohan Stevens and Daniel Rawnsley, had its display at Elmore Field Day for three days last week.
Daniel said the idea to build bigger and more efficient bins started when Rohan moved back to the farm in Pyramid Hill.
“He needed a bigger field bin. We both grew up in Pyramid Hill - Rohan has an engineering background, I’m a boilermaker - and we spent three years working on a design,” said Daniel.
“We built just two bins in the first year, we ramped up production and are doing 40 a year at the moment.
“A lot are being sold in the local area but they’ve also made their way to South Australia and New South Wales.”
Daniel said Terrick Engineering bins had a capacity double most conventional designs.
“That means more storage in the paddock. It’s all hydraulic that makes the bin safer and easier to use,” he said.
“The 13-inch auger unloads grain in no time. Offering single person operation, its huge capacity can quickly fill two semis  in just 12 minutes.”
Daniel said Elmore Field Days was well timed to display farm equipment advancements with farmers who had harvest front of mind.
Terrick Engineering is now employing three full-time boilermakers and an apprentice.
“We have picked up staff ... some had been doing fly-in fly-out work in mines and they love a job that’s close to home,” he said.
“They have experience in mining and construction and we have those skills in the backyard at Pyramid Hill.”
