Harvesting Wheat Field

Complete Maintenance Solutions​

We provide planned and reactive maintenance services for a wide range of grain handling and storage equipment

 

including:

  • Grain elevators

  • Conveyors

  • Chain and flight conveyors

  • Screw augers

  • Intake systems

  • Grain dryers

  • Silo systems

  • Hopper systems

  • Fans and aeration equipment

  • Motors and drive systems

  • Gearboxes and bearings

  • Structural steelwork

  • Grain transfer equipment​

Whether maintaining a single piece of equipment or a fully integrated grain handling facility, our focus remains on reliability, safety, and operational performance.

Preventative Maintenance

Preventative maintenance is one of the most effective ways to reduce costly breakdowns and protect the long-term reliability of grain handling systems. Agricultural equipment operates in extremely demanding conditions where constant movement, heavy loading, dust, vibration, and environmental exposure gradually wear components over time. Without regular inspection and servicing, minor issues can quickly develop into serious failures.

Our preventative maintenance programmes are designed to identify wear and potential faults before they impact operations.

Routine maintenance services include:

  • Bearing inspections and replacement

  • Chain and belt tension checks

  • Gearbox servicing

  • Motor inspections 

  • Conveyor alignment checks

  • Wear plate inspections

  • Structural assessments

  • Lubrication schedules

  • Fan and aeration system servicing

  • Electrical component checks

  • Silo condition inspections

  • Grain Dryers

By maintaining equipment proactively, customers benefit from:

  • Reduced downtime

  • Improved reliability

  • Lower repair costs

  • Increased operational efficiency

  • Extended equipment lifespan

  • Improved safety compliance

Planned maintenance also allows farms and facilities to prepare systems ahead of harvest periods when equipment demand is at its highest.

Mechanical Repairs & Component Replacement​

Over time, grain handling equipment naturally experiences wear from continuous use and abrasive materials.

We carry out repairs and replacement work on:

  • Bearings

  • Shafts

  • Chains and sprockets

  • Drive assemblies

  • Elevator cups and belts

  • Conveyor flights

  • Wear liners

  • Auger sections

  • Pulley systems

  • Motors and gearboxes

Where possible, we aim to repair and refurbish components to maximise equipment life and reduce unnecessary replacement costs.

Our focus is always on restoring full operational performance while ensuring repairs remain durable and cost-effective.

Silo Maintenance & Inspection

Silos are a major investment within any grain handling operation and require regular inspection and maintenance to ensure safe, long-term performance.

We provide maintenance services for:

  • Flat bottom silos

  • Hopper bottom silos

  • Corrugated steel silos

  • Smooth wall silo systems

Services include:

  • Structural inspections

  • Bolt and panel checks

  • Roof inspections

  • Seal and weatherproofing repairs

  • Aeration system servicing

  • Discharge system maintenance

  • Catwalk and access safety inspections

Regular silo maintenance helps:

  • Protect stored grain quality

  • Prevent structural deterioration

  • Maintain safe operation

  • Reduce risk of unexpected failures

By identifying issues early, customers can avoid costly repairs and maintain reliable storage performance throughout the year.

Grain Handling System Refurbishment

In many cases, older grain handling systems can be upgraded and refurbished to improve efficiency and extend operational life without the cost of full replacement. At Grain Gear Services Ltd, we provide refurbishment services for ageing grain handling systems.

Refurbishment work may include:

  • Replacing worn mechanical components

  • Upgrading drive systems

  • Reinforcing structural steelwork

  • Improving discharge efficiency

  • Installing modern monitoring systems

  • Updating aeration and ventilation equipment

Refurbishment can significantly improve:

  • System reliability

  • Throughput capacity

  • Energy efficiency

  • Grain quality management

  • Operator safety

Safety & Operational Reliability​

Agricultural machinery and grain handling equipment must operate safely under heavy workloads and demanding conditions.

Our maintenance approach places strong emphasis on:

  • Safe system operation

  • Structural integrity

  • Mechanical reliability

  • Safe access and maintenance procedures

We help customers reduce the risk of:

  • Equipment failure

  • Unsafe operating conditions

  • Fire hazards from overheated components

  • Structural fatigue

  • Grain spoilage caused by poor equipment performance

Reliable maintenance not only protects machinery — it protects the entire operation.

Maintenance Built Around Harvest Demands​

Agriculture operates on tight seasonal windows where equipment performance becomes critical. Grain systems may run continuously during harvest periods, placing enormous stress on machinery.  At Grain Gear Services Ltd, we understand these demands and work closely with customers to ensure systems are prepared ahead of peak operational periods.

Our maintenance services are designed to:

  • Reduce harvest downtime

  • Improve grain movement efficiency

  • Support continuous operation

  • Minimise costly emergency failures

By carrying out servicing and inspections before harvest begins, customers can enter the busiest period of the year with confidence in their equipment.
