Good morning all.
I have built 4 new ones, and moved that many old ones.
When you're building new, you start at the top. Each "ring" is assembled, and lifted with a "tri-pod" winch/jack. You can dis-assemble one the same way, but it's not very easy.
The first 2 I moved, we set scaffolding INSIDE, and ladders on the outside. S-L-O-W-!!!
The last 2, I contacted an "Aerial lift" company, that is "local". They picked them up with a helocopter. Moved them about twenty miles. Cost less than the labor involved in dis-assembling.
BE CAREFUL IF THERE IS ANY RUSTED PANELS (ESPECIALLY NEAR THE BOTTOM) A panel or two, buckling under load, while dis-assembling a bin, can cause them to fall prematurely. Saw it happen.
