Automatic Bin Lid Opener
 ✖  |
We spotted this new “Ezlid automatic grain bin lid opener” kit at the recent Western Farm Progress Show in Regina, Sask. The patented system operates off 110-volt electricity and lets you open the bin’s lid from ground level by simply pressing a switch on a control box. An electric actuator is attached to a lightweight aluminum arm on the lid. One control box can handle up to 6 bins.
An optional solar-powered kit is available for remote locations. It uses a solar panel to charge a 12-volt deep cycle battery.
“The actuator applies 200 lbs. of force to keep the lid sealed at all times. Both the solar panel and actuator are designed to withstand the toughest weather conditions,” says inventor Shawn Poncsak.
Kits sell for $300 to $400 per bin.
