For over 45 years the Brice-Baker range has been continuously developed to meet the evolving market demand for high quality grain storage and handling equipment. Franklin Hodge Industries building on that legacy have retained capability to design, manufacture, supply and install grain storage plants from the extensive range of Brice-Baker silos, dryers and associated handling equipment provided by market leading partners. Brice-Baker silos are renowned for their robust construction and high galvanising standards, with shallow profile wall sheets and external wall stiffener columns designed for a cleaner discharge and long life.

Franklin Hodge Industries have introduced a number of enhancements to the product range and manufacturing methods which ultimately mean offering & delivering solutions at or above the original Brice-Baker quality with the highest engineering, design and protection making our standard product suitable for the most aggressive coastal environments. Those enhancements include standardising the range on G600 coating on all our wall, roof and hopper components up to 4mm thick and anything heavier will be hot dipped.
