Designed for growing plants and tight sites, these silos are built to fit, built to last, and built fast. Why Choose Scorpio’s Bolted Steel Silos?
We offer pre-engineered, bolt-on silos that are ideal for new projects or capacity upgrades. With a modular silo system, you can scale storage effortlessly, install indoors, and eliminate costly site welding.
Key user benefits:
– Delivered in 30 days
– Assembled without cranes
– Designed for plant expansions
– Marine-grade corrosion resistance
– Compatible with global shipping
What Are Bolted Steel Silos and How Do They Work?
A bolted silo is a modular tank made from laser-cut, CNC-bent steel panels — shipped flat-packed, then assembled right at your site. Unlike welded silos, which require cranes and heavy equipment, bolted silos:
- Save on transport
- Require no major lifting gear
- Fit easily in tight or indoor spaces
- Expand with your needs
- Cut down on installation time and labor
Key Benefits of Scorpio Bolted Silos
1. Modular Design That Grows With You
Need more capacity? Just add a ring — no structural overhaul required.
2. Quick Turnaround, Simple Assembly
From factory to foundation in 30 days. Built with robotic precision, shipped in standard containers, and installed using basic tools.
3. Lower Installation Cost, More Flexibility
Scorpio silos take 10X less effort to install — ideal for compact sites, plant retrofits, or indoor setups.
4. Built to Withstand Harsh Environments
Every panel is painted in-shop to 210-micron marine specs — 5X stronger than field painting, and far more consistent.
5. Precision Fit – No Surprises On-Site
Pre-engineered components ensure everything lines up perfectly — so your team isn’t stuck fixing alignment issues on the ground.
6. Shipped Compact, Delivered Anywhere
We pack silos in standard 20 or 40 ft ISO containers, making global delivery smooth and affordable.
