Subject: Has anyone moved a precast bunker??


North West MO		120 feet long by 30 feet wide. Each section is 10 feet high by 15 feet long. Total of 18 sections. Also includes 21 support braces. Wondering if it would be feasible to haul by simi a few pieces at a time and resetting them.

Sandy Hook, MB

Hello Cline
I'm sure that's what they did in the first place. 
Addition: I looked at 1 when I was getting into making chop. Guy had it all disassembled already. Concrete wasn't too terribly bad, some chips, but all steel parts were completely rusted out. It didn't appeal to me.
Reason for edit: Addition.

Kingston,Mi		If it is a commercially built unit, then it should move okay, Midwest plans had a design for a similar bunk silo where the side walls were cast on the eventual floor then tilted up against the "a" frames that were also cast on site. That design might be more interesting. The "a" frame braces with the cast in place footings could be quite a load, but I have seen the concrete saddles that the 12,000 gallon "bullet" Aluminum UAN tanks were set on moved when the tanks were sold. The owner of the bullet tank made the new owner remove the saddles completely off site. He loaded them on a low platform or a lowboy, strapped them down and hauled them close to 80 miles, dropped them in prepared holes, squared and leveled them and backfilled. Those saddles were about 1 ft. to 15 inches thick about 10 ft. wide and 6 or so feet to the wider footing.

Sac & Story county IA		I have been in on a couple of those deals. Sure is a lot of gravity in those things. The moving deals I have been in on, we never had adequate machines.

North West MO		The back side of the wall isn't smooth its jagged and the "A" shaped support is jagged on one side also. They fit together with these jagged sides a line with each other.

Eastern Iowa		Last winter we were looking at a bunker like that to move. It was already 25 to 30 years old. I'm a younger guy and got chicken that it would be too weak by the time I was ready to quit and if my kids ever wanted to use it. Good luck if u do it. We bought new.

Try calling a company that installs them. They may contract the job for a day. The knuckleboom that they put mine in with was really heavy duty, and it made moving them look like child's play. But, those sections are heavy and will give most equipment a test.......

SW Ohio		We were able to get, for free, some reject precast building panels right from the manufacturer that was ten miles away. No pick and choose , we had to take what they had, which included some 10x20x6" brick design pattern on one side, a couple 8x28x10" with a layer of styrofoam sandwiched inside, and one 8x32x10" with a small ledge on the long side. They loaded on our semi, hired a local rigger to bring out his big forklift to place in our newly dug half-in-a-hill bunker with floor already poured. Lift was rated for 25,000# and had one extra counterweight, rigger estimated that the big piece weighed 32-34,000# and we guess the total gross weight of the semi was around 130,000#, never try that again in one load!! Panels were in use for ten years and then sold the cows, panels are still there and in good shape, the floor however is acid wrecked.
