Subject: RE: Moving a grain bin?


Faunsdale, AL
I used some 6x6 pine timbers across the deck of the trailer when we moved some 24' bins taken in half horizontally. The air floor was in the bottom 3 rings and the bottom/starter ring was pretty substantial but rusty. The top section and roof crumpled the bottom edge some since the 8' of the 6x6 hanging off the trailer deck on each side sagged some under the load. The second bin , I bolted a short piece of the timber across on top of the end of the long pieces so they took more of the weight before they sagged enough that the bin came down to rest on the trailer deck.

1000 bu. bins should be a snap if they have a special starter ring with a flange on the bottom
