Our Motivation: Grain Bin Safety

In 2010, 51 workers were engulfed by grain stored in bins, and 26 died—the highest number on record, according to a report issued by Purdue University.

Our Goal: Bring These Numbers to Zero

Trapped: Dying Alone in Grain Bins

In 2020, nine people in Minnesota died in grain bins or silos, according to sheriff reports tracked down by the FOX 9 Investigators. Three other people were rescued.

About Us

Mack Robotics Inc.

We are a family based company in Leola, South Dakota. The company was established in 2010 under the ownership of Jerome Mack. Since this time we have developed a patent pending innovative product to make grain bin operations less dangerous.

Our Motivation: Grain Bin Safety

Entrapment and death are real consequences when dealing with grain bins. Too many of us, including the owner of our company, have been affected by these unfortunate tragedies. We want grain bin operations to continue, even increase; but with our employees performing tasks from outside the bin.

Our Future Plans: Making a Difference

We pride ourselves on customer service and commitment; but mostly, we look forward to rewarding our customers with many more tomorrows.
