Our systems are engineered to maximize bushel capacity per dollar while remaining safe, reusable, and quick to deploy. Core product categories: 1. **Bunker Walls** — Heavy-duty steel walls that form the perimeter of temporary grain bunkers. Reusable, modular, engineered to handle lateral grain pressure. 2. **Aeration** — Aeration sheets, mesh, pipe fittings, fans, and transitions used to keep stored grain at safe moisture and temperature. 3. **Safety** — Safety doors, safety gates, and other equipment that meet OSHA-style guidance for grain pile access and worker safety. 4. **Parts** — Wall flashing, top-plate flashing, ground stakes, grating, and other replacement and accessory components. We also publish project case studies and field installations under the "Projects" section. --- ## Who we serve - Grain elevators and country co-ops needing surge capacity at harvest - Row-crop farms (corn, soybeans, wheat, milo, oats) with overflow grain - Ethanol plants and feed mills requiring temporary buffer storage - Engineering and construction firms specifying temporary storage on agribusiness projects Our customers are typically based in the U.S. Corn Belt and Great Plains, but we ship across North America. --- ## Why TSX - **Engineered, not improvised** — Founded by licensed Professional Engineers; structures are designed to documented load standards. - **Reusable systems** — Steel walls and components are built for many seasons of use, lowering cost-per-bushel-stored over time. - **In-stock and shippable** — Most components ship from our Des Moines, Iowa facility. - **Combined experience** — Nearly 200 years of combined team experience in steel fabrication, agribusiness, and grain handling. - **Direct support** — Buyers work with the same team that designs and manufactures the systems. --- ## Frequently asked questions **Q: What is a temporary grain storage bunker?** A: A temporary grain bunker is a flat-bottomed, walled storage structure—typically steel walls anchored to a concrete or compacted pad and covered with a tarp. It provides large-volume grain storage that can be set up before harvest and dismantled or kept in place for future seasons. **Q: How much grain can a TSX bunker hold?** A: Capacity depends on wall height, footprint, and pile angle. Systems range from a few hundred thousand bushels to several million bushels. Our team can size a system from a target bushel volume or available pad dimensions. **Q: Are TSX bunker walls reusable?** A: Yes. The steel wall panels are designed for repeated seasonal use. Wear items such as tarps, ground stakes, and flashing may need periodic replacement. **Q: Do you ship internationally?** A: We primarily ship within the United States and Canada. Contact us for export inquiries. **Q: How long does it take to install a bunker?** A: Installation time depends on size and crew, but most systems are designed to be erected quickly with standard equipment so they can be ready before grain arrives. **Q: How do I get a quote?** A: Visit https://tempstoragexpress.com/sign-up or call 515-380-9000.
