Raising grainstore roof

[tw15]

Students and them longer root trailers you will guarantee that the roof gets lifted

Last visit to the local Grainstore the lorries unloading were all walking floor type. Possibly investing in something like this is cheaper than roof raising?

Ejector trailers would be the way to go.

If you win the lottery

What age is the current roof sheets?
Older fibre sheets would be easy to crack, but may be an opportunity to renew roofing materials!?

£20k will buy you an excellent ejector trailer.

70's! if we are replacing the roof we might as well replace the building on the foot print of the old. I agree, the older sheets are more likely to crack but to replace means taking the PV off as well!

we have looked at 2 x 18t ejectors. There will be slow to unload though but its our only other option.

I did a 160 x 45 was only 12 ft high now 21 -22 ft high ... roof off purling off cladding off cut the posts of 4 ft high welded new posts to old posts in workshop then welded that to the stub left stuck up. New side cladding Would I do it again (No )but it’s a good shed now.

Really? A standard 14 tonne grain trailer is around 16k so that seems cheap.

Is it more cost effective to buy a new ejector trailer every 10 to 15 years, or a new grain store every 50?

Put a decent height store up in the 1st place.

Future proofing and hindsight are a wonderful thing,sometimes you just have to solve day to day problems.

There was a feature in the Farmers weekly years ago where someone lifted the roof on a big shed, basically had a lorry tipping ram positioned at each column, connected to a tractor and they just cut through, all pumped up at the same time and put a length in and welded.

I remember a welding specialist telling me he raised a roof by having jack at each stanchion and lifting very carefully

 

[Neddy flanders]

buy a couple of long high capacity elevators that allow you to tip trailer outside

Where's the fun in that?

Ah
You should have said you had pv on it
Extra weight, sheets are asbestos?

Yes sadly, hence why reluctant to mess about to much!
