Chapter 2: General Overview
• Center pole roof support
• Step ladders
• Large C-clamp or welding V-grip for clamping
NOTE: Quantities required will depend on the number of workers and size of the bin.
Guidelines for Proper Storage of Grain Bin Materials Prior to
Construction
Storage of the build materials prior to construction is important. Do not to allow moisture to remain
between sheets or panels.
Wet storage stain (rust) will develop when closely packed bundles of galvanized material, such as
sidewall and roof sheets, have moisture present. Inspect roof and sidewall bundles on arrival for any
moisture. If moisture is present, it must not be allowed to remain between the sheets. Separate the
sheets or panels immediately and wipe them down. Spray with a light oil or diesel fuel.
If possible, sidewall bundles, roof sheets and other closely packed galvanized materials must be stored in
a dry, climate controlled building. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, the materials must be stored so that
they are raised above the ground and vegetation. Any stacking and spacing materials must not be
corrosive or wet. Be sure to protect materials from the weather, but permit air movement around the
bundles if possible.
Storing roof bundles and sidewall sheets at a slight incline can also help minimize the presence of
moisture. Storing the bundles with the center of the dome up (like an arch) is one option for minimizing
moisture during storage. Sidewall bundles can also be stored on edge but must be secured so that they
do not fall over and cause injury.
If “white rust” or “wet storage stain” occurs, contact the manufacturer immediately about ways to minimize
the adverse effect upon the galvanized coating.
Guidelines for Construction Procedures and Lifting Jack Usage
The following procedure is a guideline when using a lifting jack. Follow this general guideline when lifting
the bin as sidewall sheets are being installed.
IMPORTANT: Begin building with the bin oriented for doors and material handling equipment to be in the
correct position when bin construction is complete.
1. Consider the starting location of the bin, relative to the location of the doors and other accessories.
Proper placement of lifting jacks in relationship to anchor bolts could make a difference in final
locations. Note that the sidewall sheets will be staggered.
2. The bin is lifted by the use of lifting jacks. Lifting jacks are used to slowly and evenly lift the bin
during construction. Lifting jacks must be properly sized and designed to carry all loads and job site
conditions associated with the construction of the bin.
The number of lifting jacks required is best determined by personal experience and expertise.
Factors such as bin size, jack design, construction conditions, support surface, etc., are all to be
considered when deciding how many to use. If in doubt, use one jack on every sheet. The lifting jack
must be adequate to carry all loads. Heavy duty jacks, generally hydraulic or electric powered in the
case of large bins, must be used for commercial installation. All jacks must be secured with braces
or otherwise maintained in a stable condition.
Lifting of the bins must not be done under windy conditions.
