I have a small grain bin that started to wrinkle with wheat in it this summer. Plan is too take it down. Its wrinkled half way up, so its leaning pretty good. Don't want to lift it with jacks beca.use of the lean. Idea is to pick it up by the roof with a crane and disassemble while it hangs. Will this work? Will the roof take the load if I lift from the center of the roof? Anyone tried it?


If you are taking it down to junk just get a trackhoe and wad it up. I watched a neighbor do this and was amazed how small he could mash them up and set them on the trailer. About a ten min job for him.
