With global suppliers and such a wide selection of products, GSI and the installation professionals at Zook Farm Equipment have all the resources and expertise to provide you with a grain storage system meeting your specific requirements. Here’s just a few highlights.
MATERIAL HANDLING SYSTEMS
Bucket Elevators
GSI’s Bucket Elevators, locally distributed and installed by Zook Farm Equipment technicians, are engineered to perform and built tough to provide years of reliable service. Whether your business is industrial or agricultural, whether your requirements are for receiving or unloading, pre-processing or post processing, count on Zook Farm Equipment and GSI for your material handling needs
Our line of Bucket Elevators are highly corrosion resistant and made with either a galvanized finish or a powder coat finish for lasting durability and superior appearance.
Line includes many options including:
- Bucket Elevator Heads

- Jib Boom
- X-Series Platforms
Conveyors
GSI conveyors are designed for strength and superior performance to maximize operation run time and minimize the length of delivery time. Conveyors feature a heavy-duty design and innovative features to maximize performance, simplify maintenance and increase product life. Zook professionals and on-site CAD technicians can assist you in designing a system just right for your needs.
X-Series Sweep
Technology that maximizes performance
The X-Series Sweep incorporates an industry leading positive drive system and the most intelligent sweep control on the market today. The X-Series Sweep utilizes a Class II Explosion Proof Motor, Variable Frequency Drive (VFD), Floor Mounted Track System, and Human Machine Interface (HMI) Touch Screen Control to provide the premier performance in a zero-entry sweep. This industry leading technology will maximize performance of the sweep, resulting in more capacity and drastically reducing the need to continuously monitor the sweep’s performance.
Sweep Tractors
GSIs full line of Commercial Sweep Tractors
Zook Farm Equipment is proud to carry GSIs full line of Commercial Sweep Tractors for our agricultural and commercial customers. GSI has taken a lead in promoting products to enhance safety in your grain facility. We have achieved what we consider to be a “first to the industry” solution for retro-fitting existing sweeps. This is a great solution where rules and regulations prohibit having personnel in bins while sweep augers are running. No longer will you need to “manually” advance the sweep into the pile of grain. With the addition of this tractor an operator can stand at the side door and view the position of the sweep and control it’s operation from a safe distance, or set it in automatic mode and let it advance as the grain is removed.
Distributors
Long life and minimum maintenance
GSI’s line of Distributors are galvanized for long life and minimum maintenance and come in many sizes and models from which to choose.
3/16″ and 12 gauge body parts with flanged outlets. Located under the distributor is the positive locking stainless steel index plate which offers protection from dust and harsh weather conditions. Large throat on internal swing spout, bottom lined with 1/4″ urethane for extended wear. Swing spout turns on a 1 1/2″ ball bearing, heavy-duty shaft connects to cable control.

Tower Dryers
Simple, reliable, fuel efficient grain dryer
GSI has a reputation for engineering excellence. The tower dryer exemplifies this, with design innovations unmatched by anyone in the industry.
The tower dryer design utilizes industry proven drying principles along with many unique features to provide the commercial user with a simple, reliable, fuel efficient grain dryer. Each dryer employs a bolt together (versus welded) design, which permits the wide use of galvanized steel (versus painted steel) throughout the dryer. In addition, all dryers have stainless steel, roll formed exterior sheeting as a standard feature. These design features simplify dryer erection, improve dryer appearance and promote a long dryer life.
The hopper bottom design used on the dryer, including GSI’s patented metering drum, provides a simple and efficient grain discharge system. This system transfers grain from the dryer uniformly and allows for easy dryer clean-out. Touch screen controls offer computerized control of all dryer functions. This “smart” system eliminates the guesswork by providing the operator instant information on a large backlit color display and simplifies the operation of the dryer.
GRAIN STORAGE SYSTEMS
The original product line, Grain Systems, still offers the same industry leading equipment today that it did when it was founded in 1972. Today, GSI is the world’s largest manufacturer of steel farm bins, and commercial storage grain bins. In addition, we offer the most technologically advanced dryers in the industry, complete with our cutting edge control systems. The GSI brand also offers a complete selection of material handling equipment including bin sweeps, bucket elevators, conveyors and more.
40-Series Grain Bin Systems
Higher Capacities and Custom Design Flexibility
Be it food, feed or fuel the need to move grain quickly and efficiently is critical. GSI’s new Z-Tek™ Roof System, with its clarge flat top and higher peak loads support larger material handling equipment, allowing more grain to move into storage faster. Stiffener profile design allows for taller structures while maintaining construction integrity and strength.
Commercial Hopper Tanks
The Right Tank System
Designed for today’s modern grain producers and distributors, GSI’s Commercial Hopper Tanks provide years of reliable service with convenient features and design innovations you won’t find with other grain storage systems. Wet, dry or dual purpose grain holding, overhead unloading systems, blending bins, or long term grain storage, Zooks Farm Equipment and GSI can supply just the right tank system to handle the job.
Grain Bin Flooring Systems
Designed to Suit Your Specific Requirements
GSI manufactures many flooring systems to suit your specific grain type or aeration requirements. All floor parts are galvanized for lasting durability and feature a unique locking system for reduced floor movement and solid support.
