Grain Titan Mother Bins | Australian-Made | Western Australia

Grain Titan mother bins are manufactured by Trufab Engineering in Canning Vale, Western Australia, for growers who need reliable, high-capacity temporary grain storage close to the paddock. By creating a central unloading and truck-loading point, a mother bin helps harvesting equipment keep moving while road transport works to a more efficient pickup location.

The Grain Titan range is built in Western Australia and backed by local parts, repair and modification support. Customers can choose between 125-tonne and 150-tonne models, with different discharge and floor-auger configurations available to suit the operation.

Keep Harvest Moving When Truck Cycles Fall Behind

Harvest operations rarely run at one steady pace. Headers, paddock transfer equipment, road trucks and receival sites all work to different cycles. When trucks are delayed, harvesting can quickly slow down if there is nowhere to hold grain close to the paddock.

A Grain Titan mother bin provides a high-capacity buffer between harvesting and road transport. Grain can be accumulated at a central point, allowing trucks to load when they arrive rather than forcing harvesting equipment to wait for every transport cycle. This can reduce unnecessary truck movements through the paddock, support a more consistent workflow and give the farm greater flexibility when distances or receival delays increase.

Choose the Right Grain Titan Model

The best model depends on the scale of the harvest program, crop volume, paddock layout, truck turnaround and the amount of temporary holding capacity required. Both Grain Titan models are intended to be stationary while loaded.

Model Best suited to Positioning
125T Medium-to-large harvest programs High-capacity temporary storage with a more compact overall footprint. A strong fit where growers want substantial holding capacity without stepping up to the largest Grain Titan model.
150T Large-scale and higher-throughput harvest programs Maximum Grain Titan mother bin capacity for operations managing higher daily tonnage, longer truck cycles or multiple harvesting machines.

Standard Features

Each Grain Titan mother bin is built around practical harvest operation and serviceability. Standard features include:

  • Full-length roll tarp.
  • New tyres.
  • Inspection/access door in the floor.
  • Viewing windows: four on the 125T model and six on the 150T model.
  • Heavy-duty fabricated construction for broadacre harvest conditions.
  • Choice of available discharge and floor-auger drive configurations.

Discharge and Drive Configurations

The discharge size and floor-auger drive arrangement affect unloading speed, operating control and the tractor or hydraulic setup required. Trufab can help match the configuration to the customer’s preferred operating method.

Configuration Available on What it means in practice
14-inch PTO/PTO 125T and 150T Mechanical drive to both the discharge auger and floor sweep auger. A straightforward setup for operators who prefer a PTO-driven configuration.
14-inch PTO/Hydraulic 125T and 150T PTO-driven discharge auger with hydraulic drive to the floor sweep auger, allowing more independent control of floor-auger operation.
18-inch PTO/Hydraulic 125T and 150T Larger discharge auger for higher unloading throughput, paired with hydraulic drive to the floor sweep auger.

Options to Suit the Operation

Selected options can be added to improve control, access, protection or fit with the customer’s existing harvest setup. Availability and suitability should be confirmed when ordering.

Operation & control Protection & access Farm-specific options
  • Remote floor-auger shut-off
  • All-hydraulic configuration where available
  • Work light
  • Hard-wired beacon
  • Mudguard kits
  • Removable internal ladder
  • Additional inspection windows
  • Fire extinguisher
  • Colour matching
  • Water tank
  • Rear tow hitch
  • Sample chute

Important Operating Information

Grain Titan mother bins are designed to remain stationary while loaded and must not be towed when full.

  • Brakes are not fitted as standard.
  • Internal ladders are optional; standard internal access is through the floor access door.
  • An 18-inch discharge on the 125T and 150T models is paired with a hydraulic floor-auger drive rather than a PTO/PTO configuration.
  • Model specifications and options should be confirmed with Trufab or the supplying Grain Titan dealer before ordering.

Built in Canning Vale for Western Australian Conditions

Grain Titan mother bins are fabricated at Trufab’s Canning Vale facility, making them one of the few high-capacity mother bins manufactured and supported entirely within Western Australia. Local manufacture gives customers and dealers direct access to the people responsible for the product, from initial configuration through to parts, modifications and future repairs.

The range draws on Trufab’s heavy structural fabrication capability, with attention to practical access, durable construction and the operating realities of Western Australian broadacre farming. Customers can discuss non-standard requirements, selected colour options and practical accessories directly with Trufab or their Grain Titan dealer.

Parts, Repairs and After-Sales Support

A mother bin is a long-term harvest asset, so support after delivery matters. Trufab supplies replacement parts and can assist with auger components, drive parts, roll tarps, repairs, modifications and upgrades over the life of the equipment.

Support is available through Trufab and participating Grain Titan dealers across Western Australia, giving customers a practical contact point for parts identification, workshop repairs and advice on maintaining or upgrading their equipment.
