Temporary and Relocatable Dry Bulk Storage Shelters
Traditional materials options for dry bulk storage buildings usually mean high costs and could be potentially less robust in certain environments. Therefore Toro Design Engineers are constantly innovating and able to create tailor made tensile fabric solutions that are a great alternative to traditional storage buildings.
Toro dry bulk shelters have a galvanised latticed steel frame which is lightweight and has unbeatable structural integrity. Additionally, all Toro Shelters are clad with high-tech laminated PVC membrane covers, tensioned over the steel frame which in turn makes the structure very strong.
If you want a flexible storage solution for large quantities or dry bulk, then look no further.

Dry Bulk Storage for Road Salt
NWSRG research clearly shows road salt is best covered, therefore protecting salt in a salt barn is the only way to ensure your road salt is in the best possible condition.
The risk of insufficient road salt for winter service is unimaginable. Further, having sufficient salt in poor condition is avoidable. It hinders the process of spreading salt. For example, the moisture content of stored road salt is critical. The target or Optimum Moisture Content (OMC) is between 1.5-4%.
The exact OMC is dependent on the nature of the salt delivered. Where the ratio of fines in the salt pile is high, it is better to have an OMC higher than 4%. This is because wetter salt stops the fines blowing away or being inaccurately spread.
The biggest risks occur when the road salt is of normal condition, but wetter than the OMC, In that case the following can occur:
- Tunnelling in the spreader hopper.
- Caking of salt stockpiles.
- Leaching from salt stockpiles.
- Poor salt distribution – areas of carriageway under or over salted.
- Rain on uncovered salt piles create dangerous sink or swallow holes.
