Grain & Silage Trailers by Chieftain Trailers

A grain trailer is designed to carry harvested grain, with high sealed sides to prevent spillage and a smooth floor for clean discharge. A silage trailer is built to carry chopped grass or maize silage, typically with higher sides and a rear door for controlled unloading. Chieftain's grain and silage range covers both applications, including the versatile GT 23/34 model.

Chieftain manufacture grain trailers in various capacities suited to modern combine harvesters. The trailers feature high-sided bodies for maximum volume, hydraulic tipping for efficient unloading, and sealed tailgates to prevent grain loss during transport. The GT 23/34 offers flexibility for operations that handle both grain and silage throughout the year.

Yes. Chieftain silage trailers are built for the high-volume, intensive demands of contracting. Reinforced chassis, heavy-duty hydraulics, and commercial-grade axles ensure reliability during silage season when downtime is not an option. The trailers are designed for rapid loading and unloading to keep up with modern harvesters.

Chieftain grain trailers are versatile enough for a range of bulk crops including barley, wheat, oats, beans, and oilseed rape. With appropriate body configurations, they can also handle root crops and other harvested materials. The Root Crop Trailer variant is specifically designed for potatoes, carrots, and beets, with body features that protect the crop during transport.

Chieftain grain and silage trailers use hydraulic tipping with an up-and-over rear door for controlled discharge. The hydraulic system raises the body to the required angle, while the rear door mechanism allows the operator to regulate the flow of grain or silage during unloading. This system is simpler and more robust than chain-floor alternatives.

Yes. Chieftain grain and silage trailers are fitted with road-legal lighting and braking systems for towing behind agricultural tractors on public roads. Speed and weight regulations apply depending on the tractor and trailer combination. For higher-speed road transport, check whether a Fast Tow specification is available for your chosen model.

Chieftain grain trailers feature sealed tailgates and smooth-sided bodies that minimise grain retention and aid clean discharge, even with damp or freshly harvested grain. The hydraulic tipping angle provides sufficient force to empty the body fully. For heavier, wetter materials, the reinforced chassis prevents flexing under load.
