GrainKing Maximus Mother Bins – High-Capacity Field-to-Road Solutions

Maximus mother bins provide field-edge grain storage from 140 to 300 tonnes during Australian harvest, letting chasers unload without waiting for trucks. These large-capacity field bins sit at paddock headlands or laneways, creating a buffer between header operations and road transport. Configurations suit broadacre wheat, barley, canola, and pulse operations where coordinating multiple chasers with B-double or tri-axle truck movements slows harvest progress.

Scale your storage capacity to your operation’s goals. The 140T and 176T configurations suit medium-to-large farms looking to streamline harvest logistics. Whereas, the 220T (275,000L) and 300T models are built to handle the largest of farms and corporate operations.

The Maximus Advantage

Stop watching your chasers queue for trucks while your headers sit idle. High-capacity field storage like Maximus mother bins create a buffer that separates your harvest pace from unpredictable truck schedules. This means your combines can keep cutting regardless of transport timing.

Cut chaser travel distances by positioning storage at the field edge instead of running to distant trucks. Shorter cycles mean each chaser moves more tonnage per day while burning less fuel, boosting daily harvest output without adding equipment. Fewer truck trips during peak periods reduces the coordination overhead that pulls you away from managing the harvest.

Complete Maximus Range Overview

Size your field storage correctly to eliminate bottlenecks instead of creating new ones. Four capacities handle different operational scales and harvest intensities.

Maximus 140T

Move beyond direct truck loading and stop losing productive time to coordination delays. 140 tonnes provides the buffer that keeps combines running consistently even when truck arrivals fluctuate throughout the day.

Maximus 176T

Support two to three chasers working simultaneously without constant truck management. The second Maximus model comes with 176 tonnes which reduces how often trucks need positioning in your fields, cutting safety risks and freeing you to focus on harvest operations instead of logistics coordination.

Maximus 220T

Handle your sustained high-volume flow from multiple combines that overwhelm standard field storage. The 220T Maximus with its 275,000L capacity keeps contractor operations, large broadacre, and corporate farms running at full intensity without creating new bottlenecks at the bin.

Maximus 300T

Minimise truck turnaround requirements to ensure you’re maximising every hour of favorable harvest conditions. The 300 tonne capacity, recognized as the world’s largest mother bin, gives large contractors and mega-farms the buffer they need to turn weather windows into completed acres.

Operational Benefits & Performance

Keep trucks moving instead of creating new wait times at your field bin. The Maximus 22″ auger’s 15 tonnes per minute discharge rate loads efficiently while large capacities handle high-capacity chasers at full speed.

✔️ Keep receiving grain from chasers even when temporary weather delays stop road transport.
✔️ Roll tarp protection separates field operations from truck schedules.
✔️ Cut chaser’s cycle time and fuel consumption with strategic field-edge positioning.

Check grain levels from the ground instead of climbing bins during busy periods. A total of 10 viewing windows eliminate unnecessary ladder trips.

Work your field equipment at full capacity regardless of truck availability. That’s the practical outcome: combines and chasers running at full productivity while the bin manages the buffer between harvest and transport.

Build an integrated system instead of managing separate equipment. Match your Nyrex chaser bins for optimized field-to-bin transfer. Run Geminus seed and super bins for dual-purpose efficiency. Add Dynamis field bins for flexible storage.

Match Capacity to Your Operation

Match your investment to real-world logistics instead of guessing capacity. Factor in your combine fleet, chaser capacity, field-to-road distances, and daily tonnage targets when comparing the four options above.
