Raising Bin to Set on Foundation (Continued)
Be sure that all bolts are tightened properly. Bulk Feed Tank can now be set up on foundation. Small Bulk
Feed Tanks may be set up with manpower. As the tanks get taller and heavier, other means must be
used to raise the Bulk Feed Tank. A small crane of adequate capacity attached to a cable or sling
secured around the Bulk Feed Tank just above the legs will usually do the job. Refer any questions to a
qualified rigger.
