Anyone know roughly what weight a 20ft x4ft x 6" concrete panel would be . Came across some secondhand and wondering would a tractor loader lift them . Also have a shed here with shuttered wall`s and would like to use the above panel`s to divide off a bay of it to hold grain . Shed is 40ft wide and has a center pillar. Whats the correct way to hold / secure the panel to the pillar on the shuttered wall . Can be clamped to center pillar and the pillar at the front of the bay . Anyone done similar or seen similar done . Tia


Had some 20' x 4' x 4" recently 2.2t each. Hence 50% thicker 3.3t?

.2.6/2.7t weight in those unless they are hollowcore, so doubtful if the tractor would lift them. We can just about manage 1.2t with our NH 5060 loader tractor.
You can either clamp straight onto flat face of the steel posts or weld a piece of angle onto it if the post is the wrong way round.

Very doubtful a tractor and loader would manage . We've done a lot that size and a forklift is needed.

For holding them you'd want a U channel welded to the post or 2 heavy angle irons bolted to the shuttered wall to sandwich the panel then sit them inside an H beam at the other end .
 
Thanks for all the replies lads much appreciated 👍 . Can get the use of a 320s jcb to move them as well . Didn’t think they be quite that heavy . Plan would be to use them during the winter to divide up a shed that half of is used for straw bedding . Used gates this year worked but straw bulging out under them was a balls . But have to be removed for cleaning out the bedding. Same shed can be better used then to keep feed/ grain in the rest of it .
