To The Top Crane | In this video, I use our Tadano 180g-5 to relocate a 65,000 bushel grain bin. We moved the bin approximately 75 feet away to a new bin pad. We lifted the bin without disassembling the bin. The bin was approximately 35 feet in diameter and 45-50 feet tall. We also had to travel trough some flood ravished areas with highways that were still destroyed.
The crane was configured with 110,000 pounds of counterweights, full span outriggers, four parts of line (falls), and 114 feet of main boom.

Hey Jimmy, we moved some bins like years ago, not that tall. I think 3 of them was 24’ diameter, and the other one was 30’, and 2 fertilizer tanks. Couldn’t carry the big one, leap frogged it, the smaller ones carried them on rubber, with outriggers out. That was interesting!

I came back to add some additional comments I noticed when you were setting the grain bin on its new foundation there was a man on the right hand side of your crane out by the bin giving you directions. I was never involved in anything as large as this and I never operated a crane but there always seems to be more than two people wanting to give directions at the same time so I always stopped everyone and said who is giving directions the rest of you keep quiet unless you see something dangerous. They all want to be helpful I’m not condemning what they’re doing, they are doing their best.

Rolling on the floor laughing to death...at 23:00?? We kicked the warp drive into warp 10 !!! An when we turned into the main highway we were doing 95 singing let them truckers roll 😆😅😆 but you got to admit kicking the video in the fast forward?? Was way cool it made it seem like you were doing 100 mph when reality on the side road you was probably only doing 40 mph ;-) laughing I love the sound effects and the video motion..... But anyway back to the project at hand while she may not have been a monster tonnage load but I'm betting most people do not realize the monstrosity size that Bin is !! An?? They are just like a huge wind catcher.. the three mile an hour wind moving something that big could turn into being a real pain but that was impressive load staring at it.... And I must admit when the boom did this little creek?? I literally jumped in this chair!! Lol I should not get so engrossed in videos 😆😅🤣👍 edit... An I found watching the weight transfer per stabilizer was really interesting would have been super nice if Mother nature wouldn't have put a glare on the display screen but that's really astounding the weight that is transferred

Thanks for the video! That was a really smooth swing with what you picked up. I’m surprised there were no tag lines used-must have been a calm day to allow that. The road conditions you showed after the pick reminds me of my last job, only when you fast forwarded to zip through, that was my actual speed doing barrel runs. The road construction bit adds to the challenge of your job. Fun and informative to see all aspects of it.

Had to move a grain bin on the family farm once to put a new pad under it, it was just what they call a government bin so 18 foot around and about 30 foot high. The guys that did it took a bottom sheet out slid a tractor tire and rim in it and lifted it up through the hole on the roof.

We used to call those grain bins, "Tonka Tanks" if they were assembled with bolts and nuts instead of a welded plate tank. Of course that was 30 years ago when I was building crushing mills for copper, gold and silver mines in the Southwestern United States.

Just got this video on my iPad, my first concern was what is the wind like, that’s a lot of mass to be swinging around. I know you had it covered but I thought with the rigging down at the bottom on the inside there’s lots of opportunity for tilting and swaying. As always a good job thanks.

Hey jimmy....great shot of this one!!! I have a question...why are there so many videos of portable Crain failures? Is it inexperienced operators...or is it just something that can happen any time to anyone... Don't know if you have made a video on this but it would help clarify
@ToTheTopCrane
@ToTheTopCrane 3 жыл бұрын
Well....that is a question with multiple answers. Cranes by their nature, get a lot of attention from people with cameras. Especially when they are being taken to their limits. Also, when a failure happens, it is typically catastrophic. For some reason people like to watch a catastrophe. My two cents on it.....when a crane fails, typically it is operator error. Either over confidence, lack of ability or complacency. There are times though when the unforseen happens. Sink holes, mechanical failures, etc.. Hopefully I answered your questions. Many thanks for watching! 🏗

Who figured out how to do the rigging inside the bin? Did you guys do that or the farmers or was there actually another company hired to figure that out? It would have been fun to see how it was done. Great video. Thanks for the heads up on it too.

I didn't think a grain bin would have the structural integrity to be moved like that, There's not much too 'em as far as structure goes from what I know about 'em. But apparently there is enough to at least swing 'em that far.

Ever time I hear American people call a road a highway, I'm asking myself: There's no cars, there's hardly any pavement, what on earth makes this a highway?
