Brazilton KS | The 20's wouldn't be much of a challenge here. I would just get the telehandler under the end of the tank and lift and tip until they are stood up.
The 30' might be a little tougher. We can't lift high enough to stand it without getting pretty tricky. If we assume a suitable capacity and reach crane is available I would just choke it twice as Pokey said and lift it. I don't see much worry about collapsing it given that it's a horizontal tank. The ones we have are about 5/16 thick on the sides and 3/8 on the ends. Ours were cut open by a professional after sitting several years with the manholes open. He didn't seem to think it was too big a deal. Some had been gas and some had been diesel. I've welded on them after they were stood up. They have never blown up so far that I have noticed. Currently set up as grain bins but mostly accumulating junk. | |
