Typhoon Levelair Drive Over Floor - Recommended for Longevity

Steel and Concrete Drive Over Floors - Crop, Grain & Woodchip Drying Floor or Cooling Floor System

TYPHOON Levelair floor grids are the ideal solution where below-floor laterals are required to allow an unobstructed floor area in the crop store for access by lorries and other traffic. Ideal

Our flagship floor range which has been serving farmers for decades now is the clear leading choice for drive over floors. The combination of the heavy duty steel grids, and concreted areas inbetween provide a solid floor for driving all types of agricultural and industrial machinery over.

We supply and manufacture the steel shuttering which is bolted to a 6" concrete sub floor. The shuttering is generally spaced at 3ft centres for drying or 10ft centres for cooling. We select the height of the shuttering depending on the application, however this is generally 305mm deep. Concrete is poured between the shuttering ensuring a level fill. Once set, Place the aerated steel grids into the shuttering and your floor is ready to go.

Our levelair floors have been used for drying and storage of a range of crops such as: Wheat, Barley, Oilseed Rape, Corn, Oats, Beans, Peas, Linseed, Potatoes, Onions, Garlic, Herbage Seeds, Woodchip and more.

Two strengths are available, the Levelair 312HD which will withstand the loads of most farm and industrial traffic and the Levelair 412HD, a heavy duty version for recommended use where high levels of traffic and more than weekly loading with industrial loaders is required. Both versions can be supplied with grain covers or potato/onion covers as required.

Levelair grids consist of a welded steel framework, with a high quality dipped paint finish on which is welded a louvered or expanded steel cover. The Levelair 412HD uses a deeper, wider and heavier section framework, but is otherwise the same concept.

As we manufacture in house, we can custom make our Levelair Floors to suit your store to ensure all requirements are covered depending on what you are trying to achieve.
