Mobile Storage for Hay & Straw: FAQ

Storage trailers provide hay and straw operations with high storage capacity for bales, seamless delivery directly to customers or within your farm, mobility during harvesting operations, flexible delivery options for farms without transport equipment, and weather protection to maintain hay quality. These benefits help farms maximize efficiency and protect their hay investment.

A standard storage trailer can hold over 1,000 square bales or multiple round bales depending on bale dimensions. A 53-foot trailer provides approximately 3,400 cubic feet of storage space, maximizing hay storage capacity in a single unit. This high capacity reduces the need for multiple storage areas and allows for efficient organization and easy access to bales when needed.

Yes, storage trailers are mobile and can be easily moved around the harvesting area during hay and straw operations. Trailers can be positioned at field edges for convenient collection and loading of bales as they are produced. This mobility enhances efficiency and productivity during harvesting, reducing the distance bales need to be transported before secure storage.

Storage trailers protect hay and straw from rain, snow, ground moisture, and humidity that can cause mold, rot, and nutrient loss. The enclosed steel construction keeps bales dry and elevated off the ground. This protection maintains hay quality and nutritional value for livestock feed, preventing waste and financial loss from weather-damaged bales.
