wnw Iroquois county IL | In the early 1970's I moved somewhere around 35 to 40 bins for a guy that built bins, we had a old house trailer stripped to the frame and laid 2by12's an the frame and set the top half on it and clamped it down to them, we raised the top with a truck tire and rim thru the center hole on top with an old light company crane, the bottom half with a cross + shaped spreader bar and set them on 2 by 12's clamped down , we loosened 4 seams in the bottom ring of the top and they would slip right of, most of them were 18' gov. bins but I also move some 21' and at least a dozen 24',s back then the country bridges were not to wide so had to pick your roads to go on , Half of the 24's had a bridge an both sides of them , so would load them drive to the bridge back up to them with the crane lift them up and over the bridge and back up thru them and reload, then do the other half ,some days I could only get 2 done a day depending an how far we had to go and how much help the farmer had , we only furnished 3 men to drive trucks and small crane. wouldn't do it an a bet now adays , but I was only 35 years old then with a family of three growing boys and not smart enough to know better and needed the money. | |
