Unused Steel Grain Bins, what to do? 1x90t 2x120t. sell or scrap?

[Timmer]

Hi, we are in the process of building a new grain shed and as a result our steel galvanised bins are no longer needed. They are in excellent condition really barring the bottom section where they adjoin the ground which has some corrosion. It seems a shame to smash them down with the excavator, does anyone think they would sell? I have a 90t and 2x 120t. I know they would take some taking apart. They have access ladders etc. Any suggestions?

We took out three smaller ones with hopper bottoms, all dismantled and on pallets and sold them all, not a fortune but better than scrap price and all doing a job for someone else at a lower cost than new by miles.

Put an add in the sales thread

we used one as a chip store for a biomass boiler, the auger was routed through the side and the sweep arms were a perfect fit to just reach the sides.

could they be useful grain walling for someone?

Saw one outside Wick, Caithness, that had either been blown over by the wind or pulled over. The owner had cut the bottom off and was using it as a shed!

The bins have some value, if taken down properly, I sell them for between £300 and £750 each depending on size and condition, Old Eastern block market, or even in your area,
We can take down most bins in day, 2 men and 12m Telehandler,
The mobile crane picture bin was a 280 ton, too big for telehandler,
Pick them up from the top, and then work at ground level ring at a time,
Would like to help but I am a long way from you.
Any more help, feel free to contact me,
