Lifting with Crane

Figure 13C

A crane of adequate capacity attached to a spider assembly with cables connecting at each vertical
sidewall seam just above the legs can also be used to lift the tank. Make sure the tank is being lifted
smoothly and evenly. Raise it enough to assemble the next ring and/or to attach the legs. Reference a
qualified rigger.

Watch for power lines. The crane and anything associated with building the bin
(due to height) can get in the way of power lines.
