Drip Lip
Cumberland's drip lip water deflection design is a one-of-a-kind,
roll-formed bottom sheet edge. It forces water away from the hopper
and lower boot area, giving complete weather protection without
a loss in capacity.
40
Degree Roofs
40 degree roofs provide additional strength and capacity. (Shown
with optional pneumatic fill kit.)
Legs
& Anchors
Cumberland tanks are supported by our own unique, roll-formed, fully
galvanized 6-bend legs (manufactured with Cumberland's exclusive
computer controlled machinery), providing significantly greater
strength than simple angle iron legs and greater corrosion resistance
than painted legs. Galvanized roll-formed cross ties and two piece
leg anchor sections provide strength, stability, support, and load
transfer.
E-Z
Kleenout Panel
Cumberland's optional E-Z Kleenout hopper panel allows for convenient
and thorough ground level inspection and cleaning. The panel can
be easily unbolted removed from the exterior of the bin in a matter
of minutes. A weather seal gasket protects the bin contents from
the elements The E-Z Kleenout panel can be easily adapted to existing
feed bins and can be used on tanks with up to a 15 ton maximum capacity.

Bin Roof
Cumberland offers your choice
of a 30 degree (shown above) or 40 degree bin roof to adapt to any
application. Roof panels are precision manufactured  using
die-form tooling to provide consistent quality. Both 30 degree and
40 degree roofs feature reinforcing ribs at each roof seam for added
strength and rigidity.

Factory Formed Fill Kits
Another Cumberland exclusive
is the pre-punched, extruded lip roof panel provided for the optional
pneumatic fill kit. Pre-punching eliminates the inconvenience and
difficulty of  field-cutting
the openings for the fill and exhaust tubes, and insures secure,
moisture-proof seals.

Hopper Bottoms
Tank
hoppers are available in three slopes: 45 degree for dry, free flowing
grains and 60 or 67 degree for harder flowing materials.
Like
the roof panels, hopper panels are die-formed with rounded corners
and down turned sealing edges for safety and a weather-tight fit.
In addition, assembly with rounded, truss-head bolts reduces "bridging"
of contents on inner surfaces.
By
fitting snugly into the offset outward throat of the hopper, the
heavy gauge galvanized steel collar provides a perfectly smooth
internal transition for optimum flow, as well as re-fit adapter
for all 16" (406mm) unloading accessories. Hoppers are available
at no additional cost with an optional 22" (559mm) opening
which adapts to our rotary unloader ... or the larger, heavy duty
22" (559mm) metal boot.
 Exclusive
to Cumberland hoppers, the "eave", the upper edge where
the hopper is joined to the sidewall, is die-formed to conform to
the shape of the sidewall corrugation (See A.). Most other manufacturers
depend on crimping and bolt pressure to force the connection (See
B.) ... which produces corrosion-prone distortion and "dimpling"
of the sidewall. Cumberland's die-formed eave provides a much tighter
seal and smoother flow of material.
Cumberland offers you a variety
of bin sizes to fit your specific needs.

Secure Access
Cumberland
feed tanks feature the exclusive, patented "Auto-Lok"
ground control access system for opening, closing, and latching
the fill cap safely and easily from the ground.
Our
cap system comes completely factory assembled, saving significant
time and trouble in installation. The cap itself swings open a full
180 degrees. The cap lies flat, parallel to the ground, completely
eliminating the annoying and all-too-frequent interference with,
or damage to, the cap from the fill auger.
In
fact, to meet consumer demand, the Cumberland Fill Cap is available
as a replacement for destroyed or damaged caps on most competitor's
tanks.
 Cumberland's
patented "Auto-Lok" lid system allows the bin to be opened,
closed and locked from the ground. The lid swings open a full 180
degrees, eliminating interference with fill augers.
Strength & Durability
High
tensile steel sidewall sheets, with a galvanized coating, provide
outstanding strength and durability along with the 2 - 2/3"
(68 mm) wide by 1/2" (13 mm) deep corrugation and precision
formed panel. Cumberland also provides solid, convenient access
via a fully die-formed side ladder with dimpled non-skid rungs.
