Optimal silage preservation with our uniquely designed concrete bunkers
Our silage bunkers are engineered for optimal performance and durability, featuring a heavy-duty reinforced concrete floor and tilt panel walls, available in 1.8m or 2.4m heights. The walls of our silage bunkers are slightly leaned out at the top to ensure the silage maintains contact as it shrinks. This design (known as a weeping wall) reduces spoilage and minimises air gaps, preserving the quality of your silage. Additionally, our durable concrete mix includes special additives to withstand the aggressive nature of silage juices, ensuring a tough and long-lasting structure.

PK bunkers offer robust and secure storage
Palm Kernel (PK) is a valuable supplementary feed option for New Zealand farmers, and secure storage is essential for preserving its quality. Our PK bunkers are built with reinforced concrete walls and floors, ensuring that your feed is safe from the elements and remains in optimal condition.
We offer a range of customisable options, including tarpaulin covers or sliding metal roofs. The sliding roof design can be motorized for ease of use or configured for tractor access, making loading and unloading efficient and hassle-free. With Don Chapman Waikato, you can trust that your PK storage solutions are robust, practical, and built to withstand the demands of agricultural use.
Safe and effective fertiliser storage bins
Proper fertiliser storage is key to maintaining its effectiveness and safety. Our fertiliser bins are crafted from reinforced concrete to provide a solid, weather-resistant solution for storing bulk fertiliser products. The bins come equipped with a reinforced concrete apron, creating a practical work area for easy loading and handling of materials.
To further protect the stored fertiliser, we offer various coverage options, such as tarpaulin covers or sliding roof systems that can be manually operated or motorised for ease of use. Whether you’re storing lime, urea, or other bulk fertilisers, Don Chapman Waikato’s storage solutions are engineered to offer durability, practicality, and peace of mind for farmers.
