Walkabout® MOTHER BINS to Debut at Grain SA’s NAMPO Harvest Day 2025

Walkabout® MOTHER BINS has confirmed its participation at Grain SA’s NAMPO Harvest Day, taking place from May 13–16, 2025, at NAMPO Park near Bothaville. The company will be exhibiting at Booth E26B. As one of the largest privately organized agricultural exhibitions in the southern hemisphere, NAMPO Harvest Day provides a dynamic platform for innovation, collaboration, and showcasing cutting-edge farming technology. This marks Walkabout® MOTHER BINS’ first appearance at the event. Walkabout® MOTHER BINS are high-capacity, in-field grain storage solutions engineered to help farmers maximize daily harvest output. With models offering 110-tonne and 165-tonne capacities, these bins are designed to keep combines running efficiently—allowing harvesting to continue uninterrupted even after trucks have left the field. “We’re excited to attend NAMPO Harvest Day for the first time,” said Stephanie Erdahl, International Sales and Logistics Director at Walkabout® MOTHER BINS. “There’s growing demand across Africa for smarter harvest logistics, and our Mother Bins offer a practical, scalable solution to overcome labor shortages and streamline grain movement on the farm.” By bridging the gap between harvesting and transportation, Walkabout® MOTHER BINS provide an effective answer to challenges commonly faced by grain producers, including labour constraints, logistical delays, and limited silo capacity. The company looks forward to engaging directly with African farmers, demonstrating how its technology can boost efficiency, reduce downtime, and ensure smoother harvest operations.
