Product description
SCAFCO bucket elevators are built strong, reliable, and designed to be fast and efficient for all stages of material handling. SCAFCO guarantees that each system is designed and engineered to meet specific agricultural, commercial, and industrial requirements.
SCAFCO bucket elevators have corrosion-resistant G-115 (min. 350 gr/m2 zinc) galvanized coating, giving a durable, long lasting quality finish. Heavy-duty, crowned-face, double-disc drum pulley with static-conductive, oil resistant and fire retardant lagging is standard on all models.
Bucket Elevator Heads
Elevator Heads
Two piece full-radius contoured hoods minimize wear, improve material discharge flow, and offer easy interior accessibility.

Trunking and Ladders
Engineered to be sturdy and strong, SCAFCO trunking will keep your bucket elevators standing tall for years to come. A unique bolt-together splice flange design provides rigidity and a weather tight seal.
Optional SCAFCO Bucket Elevator ladders are designed to be lightweight, easy to assemble and manufactured to meet OSHA safety standards.
Buckets
Buckets are constructed from a durable non-sparking polyethylene. Optional steel, nylon, or urethane buckets are also available.
Trunking
Trunk sections are connected using SCAFCO’s own unique splicing design, with no welding required.
Inspection Section
Field installed inspection sections can be located in four different configurations allowing for easy access and maintenance.
Elevator Ladders
Built to OSHA safety standards, SCAFCO ladders are sturdy and feature safety cages designed to improve climbing safety.
