## Specialist Electrical Installations for Grain Drying, Crop Handling and Agricultural Processing

Grain drying and crop handling systems place some of the highest electrical demands on any agricultural site. From new grain drier installations and incoming supply upgrades to conveyor systems, bucket elevators and augers, Equinox Contracts provides specialist electrical support for arable farms, grain storage businesses and agricultural merchants across Northumberland, County Durham and North Yorkshire. All installations are carried out in accordance with BS 7671 Section 705 — Agricultural and Horticultural Premises.

 Our Process

## Simple. Structured. Fully Compliant.

 1

### Site Visit & Assessment

We visit your premises to understand your requirements, assess the existing installation, and identify any compliance issues or opportunities for improvement. 

 2

### Scope & Documentation

You receive a detailed written proposal with clear pricing, timescales, and technical specifications. No hidden costs or vague estimates.

 3

### Installation & Certification

Work is completed to schedule with full certification, testing documentation, and ongoing support. You have complete traceability and accountability.

## Designed Around Your Site

Every agricultural site operates differently. We assess existing infrastructure, power requirements and equipment loads before recommending practical solutions tailored to your setup — including correct incoming supply sizing from the outset, avoiding costly upgrades later. Whether you are expanding operations, installing new drying equipment or replacing ageing systems, we provide structured guidance from start to finish.
