The Nester® Box Inverter (patented) was invented by Dick Haas, a Central Illinois grain farmer. He farms with his son Bryan, a seed dealer. They both have extensive experience working with these boxes.

Many large seed plants use the Nester® to inspect, clean and wash boxes. Some of these plants process more than 20,000 boxes annually. Buckhorn, Inc., the manufacturer of the box, has approved of and promotes the Nester® as a safe means of handling the center flow box. In addition, the use of the Nester® substantially reduces the possibility of damage to the box which might occur by manual inversion.

The Nester® fits on any forklift and the arms affix to the sides of the center flow box allowing the forklift to do the lifting. The outer ring is then rotated before being lowered over the bottom ring. This process is reversed to set the box up for filling.


If you are a seed company, seed dealer, or treating seed in your operation, you need the Nester® Box Inverter (see the Oct./Nov./Dec. 2002 issue of Seed Today).
