Armor Series

Purpose-built bulk storage structures with superior corrosion protection, clear span interiors, and engineered strength for heavy material handling operations.

Maximize Capacity. Minimize Costs.

The Armor Series is Legacy's engineered solution for bulk commodity storage—designed specifically for operations where corrosion resistance, structural strength, and operational efficiency determine long-term profitability. From agricultural cooperatives storing fertilizer to municipalities protecting road salt investments to mining operations handling specialty materials, Armor structures deliver performance-focused environments that reduce maintenance costs and extend building lifecycles.

Armor Series Applications

Agricultural Cooperative

Agricultural Cooperatives

Maximize storage capacity while protecting product quality and building integrity. Clear span interiors accommodate efficient loading, unloading, and blending operations. Moisture and corrosion control systems maintain product integrity and extend building lifespan.

Municipal DOT DSC00681 copy

Municipalities & DOT Operations

Protect taxpayer investments in winter road materials with rapid-install structures engineered for extreme corrosive environments. Natural ventilation prevents moisture buildup that degrades salt quality. Clear span design accommodates efficient loader movement and maximizes usable storage volume.

Mining Industrial Cucon Storage Bldg

Mining & Industrial

Engineered strength for heavy-duty applications including overhead crane systems, high-capacity conveyors, and material transport infrastructure. Custom designs accommodate site-specific challenges including remote locations, harsh climates, and specialized material handling requirements.

Ports Waterways 1711 S Carferry Dr Milwaukee WI-111

Ports & Waterways

Marine environments demand superior corrosion resistance from both atmospheric salt exposure and stored material properties. Armor structures deliver dual-layer protection through EpoxxiShield™ frame systems and inherently corrosion-resistant PVC cladding.

Commercial Industrial Photo_Dubuque_93

Commercial & Industrial

Versatile bulk storage supporting construction, manufacturing, and distribution operations. Configurations adapt to changing inventory needs and support efficient material handling workflows.

Corrosion Resistance DSC00523

Corrosion Protection

Legacy's EpoxxiShield™ epoxy coating outperformed hot-dip galvanizing in 2,000+ hour salt fog testing—showing negligible corrosion (0.01%) versus pinpoint and general rust (1-10%). ExxoTec™ cladding is inherently corrosion-resistant.

Clear Span EauClaire_Co-oop_90

Clear Span Efficiency

Clear spans exceeding 300 feet eliminate interior obstructions limiting storage capacity and workflow. Straight sidewalls allow material piles to extend to building edges. Unrestricted floor space enables faster loading cycles, reducing labor costs and increasing throughput capacity.

Structural Strength Photo_Drone_Blairstown_1

Structural Strength

Solid steel I-beam frames support overhead conveyors (350+ lbs per lineal foot), bridge cranes, catwalks, and maintenance platforms. Unlike hollow web-truss systems, solid I-beams eliminate internal corrosion risks and provide engineering certainty for heavy industrial applications.

Rapid Install 2

Rapid Installation

Roofs install in approximately one-third the time required for metal sheeting. All components manufactured in Legacy's 87,000 sq ft facility eliminate supply chain delays. Factory-trained installation crews deploy with complete packages ready for assembly—reducing construction time and accelerating operational capacity.
