I just bought a used grain bin -smaller 18" in diameter and about 12" tall and i need to move it. If I can"t find grain bin jacks what are my options and where do I find grain bin jacks???
 
Crane thru the center hole with a truck tire laying flat on the end of the cable.

I have built or moved several bins this way.

If you go to your local bin or drier dealer they should have a set you can borrow/rent. If not you could rent a telehahandler (telescopic foklift) and do the same thing Ia Gary said. Or you could make some out of pipe and a hand crank winch.
I dpon't have plans but can draw it for ypu .
 
We had to move one we bought about the same size once. Dad planted 3 4x4's around it, and mounted a boat trailer winch to each one about 5-6' high and then bolted a peice of chain to the bin. Worked great and for little cost.

As a general rule folks ask questions like yours, but no one answers as they figure perhaps you live a kazillion miles away, or even more.

That being said if you live near NE IA I can get you some for probably no cost at all. The guy retired, and no one to carry on his trade.
 
Merschman seed bought several bins from the govt. Had them flown in by helicopter. Probably pretty expensive tho. Oh well Bernie Steffen
 
Here's the way I had a couple of 18' bins moved this summer. Cost was $350 ea. Well worth the money. Jim
 
Can't get a photo to stick to save my life tonight. Anyway, I hired a guy who comes with a special trailer that lays the bin over on it's side on the trailer and away he goes. Doesn't take much time at all, but I don't know if you have anyone like that in your area. I have heard this guy charges about half what the rest do. Jim

Now, if I can only figure out what step I'm missing in the picture attaching buisness.
