2025 Loftness 12-Foot Grain Bag Loader GBL 12

Need a commercial-grade grain bagger with even more capacity? Look no farther than the GBL12 Grain Bag Loader from Loftness®, which is compatible with 12-foot-diameter grain bags up to 500 feet long. Featuring heavy-duty construction with fill rates up to 500 bushels per minute, the GBL12 works fast and is built to last.

Thick steel construction. Off-the-shelf parts. Shear bolt protection. Easy access maintenance panels. Every aspect of the GBL12 is engineered for durability, reliability and low maintenance because you can’t afford unnecessary downtime.

The GBL12 makes it easier to load heavy grain bags onto the tunnel. That’s because it has a unique jib crane and trolley system. Just use the remote control to lift the bag off the ground and slide it into place on the tunnel. A specialized bag loading tarp further simplifies the process for positioning the bottom of the bag onto the bag pan.

The GBL12 comes with a set of dedicated transport wheels, complete with properly rated tires and axles with electric brakes. That means less wear on the traction tires. It also means you don’t have to keep remembering to release the traction wheel brake pressure before going down the road.

Features may include:

• Loads 12-Foot-Diameter Grain Bags up to 500 Feet Long

• Constructed of 1/4-inch thick plate abrasive resistant steel flighting and supported by 2-inch bearings, the 20-inch diameter main fill auger delivers grain to the tunnel at rates up to 500 bushels per minute.

• Engineering to maintain optimal grain distribution, in conjunction with smooth and flawless bag feed, is the starting point for precise control and nonstop operation. The GBL12 one-piece tunnel is designed to distribute grain evenly throughout the profile of the bag.

• Maintaining a simple approach to a complex and important feature, the GBL12 Bag Retention System removes all doubt regarding proper bag loading and rigging. The tensioning cord and ropes are adjustable for precise control in any application.

• All 12-volt electric, the jib crane and powered trolley make quick work of the bag loading process. Additionally, all bag loading functions can be controlled via a wireless remote.

• Twelve-foot bags weigh around 1,000 pounds, and the cradle speeds up bag management and handling. Keeping your team loading grain instead of bags was a priority with the design of the GBL12.

• The bag pan is lowered to install the bag into position around the tunnel. Once in position, the bag pan is then raised into the proper operating position to support the bottom of the bag during filling. The bag pan can be fine-tuned through the winch system.

• When in the field, Loftness makes sure bags load with minimal effort and without misalignment. The bag loading tarp is the answer. Working in tandem with the powered trolley system, it greatly reduces the amount of labor required to position the bottom of the bag onto the bag pan.

• Axle height can be consistently raised/lowered using a pin adjustment system.

• The all steel 8-foot 1-inch by 14-foot 10-inch hopper is an easy target to hit, helping reduce spillage. It can be loaded from either side or from both sides simultaneously. The top rim is only 129 inches from the ground, giving easy access to grain carts and combines.
