Silage Clamp Walls.

Acid-tight. Push-rated. Stack and seal.

What are precast silage clamp walls?

Precast prestressed silage clamp panels at heights of 1.0, 1.2 and 1.5 m (3'3", 3'11" and 4'11"), cast in sulphate-resisting C50/60 concrete (CEM III/A) to BS 8500-1:2023 exposure designed to Eurocode 2. Acid-resistant for grass, maize and wholecrop silage; vertical cantilever to your engineer’s retained height with no supporting posts. FETF-eligible variants available — please call to check current yard stock or current lead times.

WCCP prestressed clamp panels. Heights of 1.0m, 1.2m and 1.5m (3'3", 3'11" and 4'11") at thicknesses of 95mm, 145mm or 180mm (4in, 6in or 7in). Custom lengths to order plus 15' and 20' standard stocked lengths. The 180mm Vertical Cantilever Panels can stand without supporting posts, to the retained height and surcharge your engineer specifies.

Thickness Heights available Lengths Typical use
95mm (4in) 1.0m (3ft3in), 1.2m (3ft11in), 1.5m (4ft11in) Custom + 15' & 20' standard stocked Lighter clamp side walls and bay divisions
145mm (6in) 1.0m (3ft3in), 1.2m (3ft11in), 1.5m (4ft11in) Custom + 15' & 20' standard stocked Mid-size clamps; cantilever heights reduced 0.3–0.4m (1ft–1ft4in) vs 180mm
180mm (7in) 1.0m (3ft3in), 1.2m (3ft11in), 1.5m (4ft11in) Custom + 15' & 20' standard stocked Standard clamp panels; vertical cantilever rated

Vertical Cantilever Panels

No supporting posts required.

The 180mm panels retain to the heights below in cantilever — no supporting posts in the wall run. 145mm panels can be used in cantilever with retained heights reduced by 0.3–0.4m (1ft–1ft4in).
