SE Minnesota near Elgin. We ( Meldahl Construction Inc) along with the help of the custome rigged the Sukup Bin with 1500' of 3/8" cable, 128- 3/8" cable clamps, 1- 1 5/8" master Lift link, 1 - 1 1/8" shackle 2- 1" shackles,
16 - 4ton double come a longs, 32 bin brackets, 1 50,000lb sling to crane.
Crane used is a 170ton
Bin specs are, 48' Diameter, 12 Rings tall (59'peak ht) weight of Bin 38,000lb
It took a crew of 6 around 6 hours to fully rig the bin. We used our 30ton crane to do the rigging, setting the 170 ton up took about 2.5hrs to get ready and set into place with all counter balance weights on. The actual lift and swing of the bin took about 20 minutes.
We are moving the Bin to make room for a future large commercial Bin.
This is our largest Bin swing to date. Challenging, the cost to move this bin with a crane is a fraction of jacking down the bin and erecting it again. We also jack bins, pour foundations and build complete farm systems, commercial and private.
