How high does a shed need to be to tip an artic?

@RWG Contracts may know.

I think @Clive said minimum 25' to the eaves. @Derky would also know.

11 meters I think

 

[RWG Contracts]

Or 10 meters can't remember

You shouldn't doubt yourself...seems you were right first time!

Right I'll rule that out then, what other options are there? Tipping in doorway and pushing in?

How high is your building?

Walking floor

What are you hoping to tip? Have tipped grain in 20' sheds, it gets spread about a bit amd you have to watch the roof so by no means ideal.
As you suggested tip in the door, walking floor trailers pit and elevator?

Our grainstore is 18feet to the eves, we have tipped an artic load of grain in there with care (it is higher in the middle - door in the end) in an emergency.

The driver said that they often do this, he reckoned that if it won't all come out for a start then he goes outside, tips it up with the back shut and then backs in a bit and opens the back - he reckoned that it was still much quicker than queuing at the docks to tip in 2 minutes.

I haven't a building to tip in, I get all my feed blown into bins, the wagon driver said that if I could tip an artic it would be a bit cheaper, it would want to be free if I had to put up an 11 metre building

Our grain store is only 16ft to eaves and we have a load of protein pellets and a load of supaflow beet nuts tipped in it every year. Normally comes out alright. Had to tip in doorway one year when they'd collected load on Friday afternoon and delivered Monday morning, load had set in the trailer a bit!

for odd loads of feed 14' would do, if you can get a telehandler or similar inside. Just tip in the door way and move with a bucket. Done it on loads of farms. In my grain store you can tip an artic to the top at any point though.

Do you need to tip under eaves or just in the middle highest part?
We have a shed 18 foot to eaves and 60 foot wide and can tip an artic in middle.

That roof would be brilliant on a cattle shed!

Doesn't need to be 11m at the sides, they get higher in the middle. Could put a shed up with a 22 degree pitch
