What Are the Largest Air Carts in the World?
Air cart capacity has increased significantly as seeding systems continue to grow in width and productivity. Today, more than 30 models worldwide offer capacities of 20,000 liters or more, reflecting the rising demand for greater operational autonomy during planting.
Air carts are evolving in parallel with the growing capacity and working width of modern seed drills. As planting systems expand and application rates for seeds and fertilizers increase, demand for larger tanks and longer operating intervals between refills has intensified.
Manufacturers have responded by developing high-capacity air carts designed to support large-scale seeding operations, particularly in markets such as North America and Australia.
Currently, the largest air cart available globally is the Morris 1440, with a capacity of 50,744 liters.
Largest Air Carts Worldwide
The global market includes more than 30 models from 12 different manufacturers with capacities of 20,000 liters or more.
Among them is the Evox 20, a 20,000-liter air cart produced in Argentina by Tanzi, highlighting the presence of South American manufacturers in the high-capacity segment.

Market context
The increase in air cart capacity reflects broader trends in large-scale cropping systems. Wider seed drills, higher field productivity targets, and the need to apply multiple products—such as seed, fertilizer, and soil amendments—in a single pass are driving the development of larger pneumatic tank systems.
As a result, high-capacity air carts have become a key component in improving seeding efficiency and reducing downtime during planting operations.
