Common questions

What do buyers ask about feed troughs?

How do I mount feed troughs?

Our feed troughs come with cast-in fixings for bolting to a slab, or as freestanding units with footplates. For new builds we recommend cast-in bolt boxes set into the slab pour. We can supply a setting-out drawing.

What concrete grade do you use?

Standard mix is C40/50 sulphate-resisting with CEM III/A cement (around 50% GGBS) for slurry and cubicles, with silage clamp walls at C50/60 sulphate-resisting, cast with a DC-3 or DC-4 designation where the ground or exposure class calls for it. Lightly reinforced items such as padstones use C40/50 (50 N/mm² at 28 days, CEM I); prestressed panels and robot bases use C50/60 high-strength. A C40/50 low-carbon mix with CEM III/B (around 70% GGBS) is available for retaining walls. Bespoke mixes available on request.

Do you offer installation?

No — we manufacture and supply only. We don't have an install team and we don't fit, erect or build in anything we make, on any product line. Installation is down to your groundworker or civils contractor. What we will do is give them what they need to get it right first time: setting-out drawings, lifting anchor positions and fixing details, plus a phone call with the yard if they want to talk it through before the load arrives.

Do you deliver to my postcode?

We deliver across Devon, Cornwall, Somerset, Dorset, Wiltshire and onwards across the UK. Devon and Cornwall are our home patch. Haulage is arranged with the right kit for precast, wherever the load is going.

What's the delivery cost?

Built into the quote and based on postcode, load size and access. Self-collection is welcome from the yard at Holsworthy — give us a call.
